    Chain offset after spreading stays

    Please excuse and point me in the right direction to find this information. I'm looking to spread the frame on my 1966 Schwinn lightweight to accommodate a modern 3 speed hub. Should I even try this or will the back hub to the crank sprocket be too far off and cause chain alignment problems? I...

    Rainier Racer

    Rainier Racer I’ve picked up right where I left off BO7. So it’s been in various storage locations since 2012. I’ve found some time recently to move it to my scrappy basement shop and start building again. Check out the Rainier Racer link above for a recent update. Thanks for looking!

    Move a thread?

    Probably not the right place to post and I apologize. I started a bike for BO7 and fell short of finishing. Is there a way I can move that thread to the regular “Builds” section in three Forums?

    I'm looking for a click stick 333 bracket that will fit around my Worksman newsboy down tube. The bracket I have is marked 7/8" and it's too small.

    How do I cable up to a click stick?

    I was making this way too difficult. The plastic center cap pops off. I have an old click stick 333 and I'm struggling to hook up the cable to it. I haven't even figured out how it opens up.

    Artist Rendering Machinist/Builder Share

    I wanted to start a thread for RRB enthusiasts, connecting those who have ideas and the skills to draw them up with the people who have the tools, space, and skills to build them. Maybe there's an Ed Roth among us with no garage and a builder who's looking for great ideas. So let's see those...

    Oh, oh... what have I started?

    I've recently had a bug to build up the BMX bike I wanted when I was 11. It's not the Redline I pined after back then, but I think it will be "totally awesome" to build! 1982 Schwinn Predator. I'm thinking a white theme. White Skyways?... I think so. :D

    Okay I should know this, but... I need new wheels for my worksman bike. I came across this bike on CL. Can anyone tell me if standard 2.125" ballon tires will fit on these wheels? :?:

    Rainier Racer almost, she's on wheels! 9/11

    This is my first build off. I'm going to do my best to turn my Worksman into a Rainier Beer board track racer. I've seen a ton of beer bikes in the grocery stores, but I haven't seen a rat rod board track style representing the working man's local beverage. So... here's the bike as I picked it...
