    Probably my iPad, it’s old. But strangely I only have a problem on RRB.

    Tracker tribute

    One other person has the same issue. No problem for me on other sites. I have the same problem no matter what Wi-Fi system I’m connected to. I’m retired to I’ll try and nurse it along.

    Tracker tribute

    Slow appearance of typed characters, disappearing content before you can post and oops error when you try to post and that stuff cant be posted. It’s a mess. I’m posting in short amounts and editing of more additional info. Sometimes I have to cancel the edit as it’s garbage.

    Tracker tribute

    I’m now penetrant soaking some wheels for the nipples. A ton of work yet and I don’t really anticipate finishing. The hard parts are ahead. I’m trying parts amalgamation that aren’t supposed be, like a homemade two speed cassette with derailleur cobbled onto a 3 speed drum brake for 6 speeds...

    Tracker tribute

    One inch, wide, motorcycle bars with one inch hand truck grips. Wide and so much cheaper than bike bars. Steel 7/8 levers pounded, pried, clamped to fit one inch bars. The steel quill spread a little to go around the bends in the one inch motorcycle bars.

    Tracker tribute

    Bigger cups for the springer fire pit brazed onto a road frame. Phosphoric acid etched to remove rust. Acid dipping revealed that the original springer springs were kaput. Schwinn Wizzer moto bike spring modified to replace the shot original springs.

    Tracker tribute

    Can’t post on this forum. A lot of stuff posed but it’s under oops problems. Can’t find it. I may try again but this site now stinks, not worth the aggravation. I was only doing photos as text also vanishes. Everything is stored here somewhere but I can’t retrieve it.

    They freeze when they get wet

    This also worked on a gun I dropped in muck while duck hunting.

    Rusty Rocket

    My rat tank was a lot worse than yours. Mega dents and rust. I put it in white vinegar and pin holes and paper clip tip sized holes showed up. I removed about 90% of the dents with doilies and a body hammer and then put a layer of fiberglass inside. Bondo smoothed it out. It’s primed and ready...

    TWOJS FRESH FINDS

    The only way to fix this for the long term is to have the fork tube and head tube replaced by a frame maker. They can also do an alignment. This can be super expensive to reasonable. I use Frankenframe. He is hard to get ahold of. Great work reasonable. Specialize in restoration of high end...

    Next build off………

    I quess I’m out. I started my off road 1940s-50s European inspired tracker tribute, like this one. It’s too cold in the winter to do much so I did almost all the frame mods already. I used forge brazing to enlarge and extend the head tube to match the springer fork. I’ve also made a...
