    46' DX Klunker quick build

    Built a klunker with this frame back in '07, and it was my main bike ever since. Nexus 3 speed Dirtbike bars Holy rollers Ashtabula cranks... My wife kind of took it over as her own, and so I stripped it down and gave it a quick re paint... Primed it in 2007 with etching primer, and painted...

    Field trip... Pic heavy...

    I thought this might be interesting to some. We went to the giant fleamarket, known as the Brimfield Antiques Show, yesterday. It is held 3 times a year in Brimfield, MA. My wife and I go every year. I took pictures of some of the bikes I saw, and thought I'd post them...

    Ratios

    Trying to figure out what ratio to use on my klunker build... Single speed coaster brake. Trying to figure out front tooth number... Was thinking 40 or 42. There are plenty of hills here, but I don't want to spin out too quickly on flats... What ratios do you like? Thanks, oct

    Bendix rb2 questions...

    I have a bendix RB2 hub that I dissasembled, and cleaned... I did a dry reassembly to make sure everything was in place before I grease it up. When I turn the cog to drive the hub there is a fair amount of resistance, ie: doesn't turn very good. Fighting against resistance. If I back off the...

    Another Heavy Duti build... Headbadge mounted

    I bought a couple of frames from ind-chuckz (thanks Chuck!) So I thought I would start a build thread... I had a '46ish Schwinn DX klunker that I was riding for the last several years, but my wife kind of took it as her own, so I thought I'd put another bike together for myself... Started...

    Street cruiser...

    I've been riding a fixed gear that I built last winter/spring... But I love coaster brakes... I found this vintage road bike at the dump. I am constantly amazed/perplexed at the things people throw away... It's a Falcon, made from Reynolds 531 tubing, it has campagnolo dropouts. The tange...

    Bendix cogs...

    I have a bendix red band coaster brake hub I want to refurb, But it doesn't have a cog in it, or the snap ring. If I remember correctly, standard cb cogs won't fit on these... Anyone know what fits these? And do I need a special snap ring? Thanks! oct

    Springers...

    When it comes to the traditional springer fork, are some better than others? I see some sold by felt, Electra etc. that are much more expensive than the ones sold by low rider places. Is there a quality difference? Do you get what you pay for? Which ones do you like, and why? Thanks oct.

    Here is something I made...

    I don't know if I had already posted this before, but this is a bike I built from scratch. I built it a few years ago, for a friend's daughter. The head tube and bottom bracket shell were donated from another bike, and I built the rest. It was painted with rustoleum rattle cans... october

    Headlight idea...

    Well, I was in target and I spotted these... And of course the first thing that popped into my head was, that would be a cool bike light... They were in the men's clothing dept, and are packaged as a Christmas gift idea. The only drawback is that they take 2 D batteries. But maybe they could...
