Here are some of the replacement parts I picked out pictured beside the original.

This was my neighbor’s childhood bike. I am restoring it to be ridden by his children. Here is a video I sent to the owner to get some feedback before I started. We decided to skip the gyro and the pegs.

Not sure I am going to enter this BO. I believe I have participated in every one since I found this site a few years ago. Life is just busy right now. I am still working on bikes, but the projects seem to find me. And I prioritize bikes that are going to a good home over creative...

If you were close to me I would make you an offer. I really like it. Like @Shrunken_Head_Pedaler points out, once I start a project like this I wind up spending $150 in parts. New tires and tubes. I can’t resist building new wheels, and there is always something else wrong once you get into...

Wow! That looks to be in great shape. And such a simple bike. My kind of bike. Personally I think it would be a shame to modify that. I would just clean it up and make it a rider. But this is ratrod bikes. Do whatever you want! It’s yours. What’s it worth? In my opinion , I...

That is a cool bike!

I learned how to do this from BikemanforU on YouTube. It also looks like you are missing this cable guide thingy. This is important.

There is something really cool about that one! Really unique. Good save!

I have a few but looks like mine are for a 1inch tube.

WOW!!!

I admire your perseverance here!!! Looks to me like you need a buddy with a machine shop. The next step is likely not complicated if you could find someone with a lathe. But not my area of expertise.

700c should work. I’ve done it without issue.

Do you have a digital caliper? Someone gave me a small bucket full of headsets. Happy to sort thru it, but need to know exactly what I am looking for.

Not mine. I really don’t want this. The price is extremely tempting. This guy has a few other reasonably price vintage bikes and parts. Maybe someone here is interested. I have to stop buying these. https://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/d/richmond-1962-snyder-built-rollfast/7790024770.html

I have a couple Raleigh step thrus. I would consider a side build off.

That is probably the exact dangerous thing we are talking about. The gears aren’t engaged therefore no brakes when back pedaling. You could possibly get that fixed by getting the cable adjusted properly, but the condition could come back. I had similar issues with coaster brake SA 3...

What happens when you apply the brakes? It is also important to have the correct indicator chain. They come in different sizes and having the wrong size will cause it to never shift right. And possibly cause braking issues. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/indicators.html Is the hub...

This is already a winner! Is the rear wheel a Sturmey archer 3 speed with coaster brake? They are finicky about having the shifter tensioned correctly. So finicky I consider them dangerous and don’t use them anymore. Problem is the hub can get into a neutral position where it is not...

porkchopbmx.com and bmxguru.com are both good places to shop. They both have a wide variety of colorful tires and grips.
