Also, thank you all for the braking advice. I used two adjustable wrenches to get the proper toe in. (Thanks OddJob). The braking is now decent. Still using the original John Bull brake blocks.

Thanks. I agree about the bottle cage. It will be removed. Replacing the indicator spindle made all the difference! The shifting was really bad with the wrong size. It felt like a jalopy. It now feels sporty! These English 3 speeds are an absolute joy to ride when properly tuned...

Night Rider

Wasn’t shifting great on my night ride. Per Sheldon Brown my indicator chain was too long. My axle is 5 3/4 inches. Swapping in this smaller one. It’s not hoarding if you use it!

I took the original headlamp and stuffed the wires that went to the dynohub inside the lamp. Then I used electrical tape to connect to a 9 volt battery. Works great! I am finished! Need to take some final photos. There a a few minor details I haven’t highlighted yet. Funny thing is...

Yeah. I tried that. It didnt work. Maybe the pumps are just worn out.

That hub is gone. Would not use. I was just checking out your other post. Is the plan to put a 3 speed hub on the spaceliner step thru frame? I think that is a fantastic idea! That frame is beautiful! I also would NOT get a donor front hub from a Raleigh 3 speed. Raleigh did some...

Yeah that stinks. If you were anywhere close to me I would give you a bike from my pile. Good luck with the police report. Does homeowners insurance cover theft from a storage unit? Anything unique in there that might pop up on Craigslist? Not even sure if you are interested in...

The frame pump is still a mystery to me. I no longer think it has anything to do with Dunlop valves. The top hose is from the new pump. Notice the part in the center that pushes open the pin in a Schrader valve. The other two from old pumps do not have the part in the center...

It’s way too late and I should be in bed… but I just found these pedals in pile-o-parts. These should be much better!

Looks like a spaceliner frame to me.

I like it! Looks like the same cable used on the positron derailleurs. Don’t cut it! I made that mistake.

Dunlop or woods is not common in USA The only time I ran into a woods valve was while working on a Gazelle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_valve I am not even sure this is the problem, just a guess. The more I think about it, I don’t think this is the problem. If you look at...

Update. Seconds later I found this on Amazon and bought it with one click. Wasn’t @Wildcat or someone saying something about always trying the hard way before the easy way!

I am struggling with the frame pump. The plunger was completely shot. I have this spare white ‘made in England’ pump. The two are close enough in size that some of the parts are interchangeable. I was able to get combination of parts from both pumps assembled. The frankenpump works fine...

This thread moves so fast. Every time I want to make a comment I am 4 pages too late! I’m enjoying it, but I need a flux capacitor to catch up.
