Lots of ways to do it. I use a Joint Jigger that works with a drill press or hammer drill. You can also just draw the desired shape on the tube and use a grinder to shape it. Somewhere I found a web site that will generate a pattern that you can print out and use as a guide. Of course you...

A copy of this book is currently being auctioned on Ebay. I found other copies being sold for as much as $300! After some more looking I found the entire book for FREE online! Tons of good information on frame and fork repair. Enjoy! http://books.google.com/books?id=aDAuAA ... rr&f=false

Wow! That is a pretty rare bike, and for $20! You got a steal! :mrgreen:

WD-40 and brass wool or brass brush. Does not scratch like steel. I learned that from Hooch! Ambman told me about a acid you can buy in Chrystal from and mix with water. He placed a frame into the solution over night and the next day just wiped the rust away. Maybe he will see this and tell...

Hmmm... I really like the how everything from the seat tube back looks. I think if you shortened the front triangle and add a couple of degrees of angle on the head tube it would look less awkward. Some 28" or 700x40c Electra townie cream colored tires would look good. Just my 2cents. It...

Re: Next Victim Stretch I didn't realize you were looking for more pictures. When I first looked at your inspiration bike this Columbia/Pope built Humber came to mind. Similar, but not the same. I will keep looking. Note the early bio-pace crank set!

That is awesome! I wish I had your skills at that age. Keep it up and you will be a top custom builder before you know it.

Very cool! I like what you did with the frame. Great choices on parts also.

I posted this quite a while ago. It does not show how to make the final tank. I show how you can create patterns and make sure of the size and shape before cutting metal. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5442&p=54797#p54797

Welcome! I sold a very similar/the same frame, fork and headbadge to member Oldy57. You might want to shoot him a message and see what he has found out about it. Good luck with it. Make sue you post pictures of it when you are finished. I kinda kick myself for selling mine.

What he said! Probably takes 28" wheels, so you better send it to me! :mrgreen:

I used my Harbor Freight roller to make the top tube on my gender reassignment. It seems to work fine. You are kind of limited on the size of tubing you use. Luckily they give you a die that is good for the main triangle tubes. Anything smaller and you are out of luck. I have seen where...

I went Wed. night. Super crowded. I didn't get pictures because I was riding in the back seat of my dad's Willys.

Nashbar brand TT bars.

Congratulations Adam! You have created a incredible piece of functional art. I say we take it out to Bonneville and see what it will do!

It has been a long time since I have worked on a trike, but I believe the hub is held onto the axle with roll pins. You will have to hammer out the pin to remove the wheel. Kinda hard to tell whats going on with the rest of it.

Wow! What a great find. Some rare stuff for sure. Can't wait to see it done. IF you don't want that badge anymore I could use it for my arch frame!

This started out as a Ebay fixie. I changed the brakes, bars, tires and seat. It rides great and is pretty fast. I really have no complaints. A friend bought the same bike and had problems with the front sprocket being out of round. :?

That looks great! I really like that frame and fork combo.
