    LED bulbs for bullet headlight?

    Thanks for the links, guys. Looking forward to playing with this mod on my next build

    Hub reccomendations

    Good eye, Rob. The wheels in the picture are deep-V but Velocity also uses that wood graphic on their P35 line which is their MTB wheelset in 26" or 29". They don't machine the sides- i.e. expect them to be setup with disc brakes- but that's also perfect for a coaster hub! I'll post pictures...

    A couple of board tracker questions

    Jerry- Love that bike! Yours, along with this build has inspired me to build my own board tracker and after seeing these two I'm convinced that you can do anything you want with the handlebars but you've GOT to have the white Fat Franks! Specifically though, what is the make of that frame...

    Hub reccomendations

    I'm looking for the same type of thing- black loose-ball hub up front and a black coaster rear- though they don't necessarily need to ship from Canada :) I want to use black spokes and lace them up to these wheels from VelocityUSA.com Working on a black board track racer with big ol' white...

    Need help with date of an old Hercules

    Here's a link to my Flickr stream for the Hercules I purchased last night. I've been studying that 1960 print ad from a previous post and am looking at a replacement front rack along with a vintage Miller dynamo and light set that popped up on ebay. Might also go with some cream colored...

    Need help with date of an old Hercules

    Just bought a VERY similar Hawthorne Hercules last night from a gent on CL and it looks remarkably similar to yours but missing the dyno and headlamp. The guy I bought it from found it in its original condition and has kept up with it meticulously over the years. He has it dated as a 1958. I...

    Tiki Time! Update and lessons learned

    "...I was able to find a person on Ebay that custom makes frame decals, so it even has its name now!" I'm looking for the same thing- you remember the name of the seller or eBay store you found? Thanks in advance!

    The Mini Pink Safari

    Beautiful bike! I am truly, truly impressed! I'm in the middle of my first build and am going to begin painting soon. I've looked through most of the how-to's on repainting frames but the paint on your project is nearly perfect. Would you mind giving a run-down of how you did it? I saw in...
