Hey cyclers, I made an error . That bike is a Dynasty by Sears . All good points however. Maybe I should brainstorm this a little more ! Gonzo

I was looking at bikes at Wal-Mart. Yeah I know but hear me out regardless. I was thinking as I looked at this big Shwinn repop , I know it's not the Shwinn we know and love, and it occured to me that for the 100 dollar price, you could buy 2 of these bikes and have all the ''new'' building...

I was just worried about strength. If it rusted enough to make the tubing thiner or not. I cant tell how bad it is by just looking. It might just be superficial.

Anyone know how to set up a de-railier mechanics so as to use amn old Husrt Shifter handle to select the gears ?

Thx CS for the link. I can fab that up pretty easy. Gonzo

How can I build a rear drive axle assembly for a trike ? I want to use either a large Go-Kart wheel or a wider bicycle wheel such as OCC rear wheels on the rear. Thx, Gonzo

Johnny, I would consider a sale of the bike if the price was right. Make me an offer. I've desided to build on another bike after the responces I've gotten on this one. It does have history. Gonzo

Yeah Shakin, I've been riding Yellow Creek since the early 1970's. Have a on/off rail buggy in the works as we speek. Lately have been riding the bike trail in Canfield and Lisbon. This bike thing is addicting isn't it. Being na old hotrodder, this is right up my alley GG
