I gotta say I was expecting something a bit more subtle. The scales is a really cool touch. I'd like to see how you did that.

If you want the look of the smaller wheel in back, going with the 24" wheel and a 3" tire is the way to go. As contrast, a 26 x 1.50 on front or maybe throw on a road bike fork and a 27 x 1 1/8.

Has anyone considered copper plating a frame an fork? Let it oxidize a bit, maybe to the point that parts turn green then seal it. Just thinking out loud.

There should be another number between those two 6's in that number from the head tube. Huffy started using that number sequence in the early 70's. The first two digits was the month of manufacture. The third digit was the last digit of the year. The next four was the number of the frame built...

They don't sell it and you can't even see the web thing in the video.

Too big to keep in the house.

Kreep, THAT'S what I'm talking about. I want to do that with a bigger wheel though. That 36" wheel with 170mm cranks. When I was 3 or 4, I had a tricycle/wagon combo. Your tricycle reminds me of that.

That's more like the Pennyfarthing than I was thinking but that would work. What I was thinking about was more like an exact scale version of a kids tricycle. That looks like a huge kids tricycle from 100 years ago.

I forgot to mention that Huffy's SN's starting with HC then followed by 7 digits started in the early 70's as far as I can tell.

I started a thread over on CABE about whether anyone has over built a bike based on a theme. As a little background to that thread, my son is a big comic book fan. One day I asked him what theme he'd like to have in a bike. We discussed all sorts of themes. When we got to the discussing the...

Have any of you ever considered building an over grown tricycle? I don't mean a trike as in a chain driven bike with two wheels in the back. I mean a TRICYCLE . A big version of Use the 36" wheel from a Coker unicycle or Wheelman And put on a big fat seat That big 36" up front and a...

I believe the Murray codes changed a bit after 1948. A '49 code should have been an F. The MOS-N could be a 1957 frame. Seeing the tank and rear rack would help. Where on CABE did you ask for ID help? I couldn't find it.

Welcome from Memphis.

I understand. A multi speed bike has thinner gears as well due to space limitations. Unless I have a bike with a cassette, I just need the thicker chain and that's all there is to it.

That frame is asking for s gas engine.

So a 3/16" is the widest and likely what I have on my vintage single speed bikes. Narrower chains are needed on bikes with cassettes where the space between the gears is limited. The narrow chains will work in place of the wider chains if need be. Is that correct?

I thought all 1/2" chain was the same. I was looking at the KMC Chain web site and they have several terms I didn't know were used to describe chains. Half link 1/2" x 1/8" 1/2" x 3/16" 1/2" x 3/32" I thought all chain was the same and you just needed the right length. Someone fill me in please.

I've never been on a bike like that so I'm just guessing. It's the reach for the handlebars that look like a stretch. The seat and pedal configuration would make it ride like a recumbent.

That doesn't look to be a comfortable ride. Looks like you'd be folded in half to pedal and hold on to the bars.

Re: SCRAP HAPPY It's always comforting to know your dress won't get caught up in the rear wheel.
