Bicycles are like cars, all the good ones were built before 1973. I love all the old bicycles and tend to pick them up when I see them at garage sales and such. I now have a garage filled with bicycles..(somewhere between 30 and 40), and not one is fully functional. SO, I've started a build so I'll have a sweet summer ride. I started with no tools and almost zero mechanical know how, but I want to learn and do it by myself. I bought metric wrenches today from Ace and a chain removal tool from kmart. I know, those are the best places for tools...
. I've decided on a 24" corvette frame and I'm trying to stick 26" wheels in there. I think it will work if the tires were trued except I need to remove the bar that the back fender would screw into. Any ideas? I had 20 or so whacks at it with a chisel and a big hammer, but nothing. A torch would prolly be the thing, but what else could I try?
I don't wear skirts and I don't mind being greasy.
