    Spreading an AL frame

    I would like to install a Nexus 7 speed hub on my 3G Newport with an AL frame. Is there a safe way to expand the rear drop outs on an AL frame?

    3G Deluxe converting to 57 MM Rims

    I have a nice 3G 3 sp Newport. I've wanted the sweet 57 mm cooper rims since the first time I saw them. I just noticed 3G offers the copper rims only. http://3gbikes.com/bikes/menscruisers3spd/mensnewport3spd/ http://3gbikes.com/parts/wheels/26x57rims/ My question is will the existing spokes...

    First nice weekend brought out a lot of cruisers to the VB boardwalk. This Roadmaster was the nicest.

    Racking a 3G Newport

    Thought I'd show how a 3G Newport with 3.45 Boas fits on a Thule T2 rack (916 XTR). I love this rack, it can handle almost any sized bike, 12" to 29er.

    My don't look to closely build

    After spending way to much time on this website I got hit with Rat Fever and purchased a Dyno Moto Glide rust bucket. The thing was total mess. Every piece of steel and chrome looked like the kickstand. I was going to blast & powder coat but realized it wasn't worth it. I ground and rat...

    Clear coat flat black?

    I'm doing my first build and have chosen flat black for the frame. Do you seal or clear coat flat black? FYI, I'm using spray can Krylon.
