Wow!!

Actually that isn’t a match. Beats me. I will sit quietly and wait for someone that actually knows what they are talking about to chime in.

I’m sure someone knows what they are. Searching the web and this is all I can find. https://kamway.com/products/brake-assembly-w-rod-carrier-schwin-spinner-or-other-spinners?variant=39697814945952&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c

I would love to see some more pictures of that. Looks like some sort of rod brakes.

What is the story with those front brakes? That is new to me.

These are all incredible! Really cool bikes!

This was great fun. So happy I found this site! A step thru Murray beach cruiser just popped up on CL. It would be a perfect project. I always have people asking me for cruisers. However I have several more unique step thrus in the pile. Hmm. Build a bike that someone wants? Or build a...

This is turning out great! One benefit of missing the deadline is now we can follow along without distraction!

I was a week behind on this thread. Was looking for this in the voting booth. Real bummer, but still super cool. Love the cow bell!

That’s a cool detail. I need to remember that. I’m probably out of time for the BO though.

I am curious about the threading.

I don’t know, but I like it. Cool bike.

Wow. I have never seen one only those. I want that for sure! Too cool.

Wow!!

Sounds like you figured it out. One trick I use to find the source of noises is to get a long screwdriver, put the handle up to my ear, and touch the tip to various parts of the bike. Works like a doctor’s s stethoscope. In fact, I should probably just buy a stethoscope.

Looks beautiful!! Maybe your next build should be a hill climber. Low gear, motor, massive traction.

This is amazing! Have you considered adding a motor and making it a moped or e-bike? You have a lot of hills to climb!

More than happy to help. Probably best to watch a few bike building videos to learn how it goes together first. Then ask specific questions when you need help. As far as I am concerned, it is your bike, you can do whatever you want to it, without feeling criminal. I don’t think those...
