    Dyno Bike History?

    What you have is a 24" Dlide that is built very much alike 26" Dyno Deuce, another popular bike based on Glide frame. Rather rare model. Nice bike!

    Murrarium

    Hi! Some progress on '87 Monterey! My friend have laced an 80's Shimano 3CC hub into an '63 Murray rim for me, so i have now an original-ish wheel with period correct drivetrain! So the work continued. Changed out the bottom bracket for the modern one, since the bearing races were shot. By...

    Rollfast headset issues.

    In situation like that I'd find someone with a lathe and just take some meat off your EC34 headset to a nice satisfying press fit. Otherwise make an adapter to allow your head tube to take regular modern EC30 headsets. Both of those operations are relatively easy to do on basically any lathe.

    When Cutting Down a Fork for Smaller

    I've made my own set of truss rods for CWC fork once. Just bent a stainless rod in my vice and threaded the tips.

    Fender Fitting a Prewar Huffman

    If you cut that beautiful fork you'd need to cut and re-thread the truss rods.

    1947 CWC "Rat Master"

    It have been a while since i've started this bike, and all the projects have to be finished one day, don't they? :D I got bored of this beauty collecting dust on my shelf and finished it for a show this August. It is not finally done i believe, since i still want to restore/modify the original...

    New Electra Bike owner

    Hi! I always recommend a rear rack for the better weight distribution. Front rack could slightly impede turning and balance. For the rear rack - orginal Electra ladies rack fits well! Just need to add some spacers on the bottom.

    Need your help for manufacturing a Basman tank plate

    Not all Basman frames are created equal ;) I talked about it with Mich at Chopperdome back in 2015 and he said best way is to make a cardboard dummy like MattiThundrrr proposed. Different years Basman frames were manufactured slightly different so there is no guarantee same tank would fit all.
