I have a video of my test ride. At the beginning of the video, my plan was a controlled ride with one hand on a phone camera. You can hear clicks when I applied the front brake and that’s when I needed two hands to avoid a crash. I was able to use one hand again at the end. The ride was...

I was considering a Klein Too Gun Frame for this build but was unable to get a good price. They are one of the Klein bikes that has rear dropouts. It’s a great frame and I’m a patriot. I love the colors.

I have a few things to finish the bike but here are a few photos from todays test ride. One photo of my loose nut…. Most of the parts were from a 1985 Raleigh Elkhorn. 👍🏽 I have a couple more items to add for function. 1. Rear Rack 2. Swap 85 Shimano front Brake lever with 90’s Paul 3 add...

I would like to buy one. Let me know what I need to do. Thank you, E

I copied the 1989 Klein Top Gun Paint job. I do like the way it looks. I used Home Depot Enamel with gloss. I finished with enamel with clear matt. It definitely looked better with the clear. I just went for test ride #2. It was a great test and only one small problem. I took video...

I have been busy with work but I am still finding time to finish my Firestone Klunker. I am close to completion and I’ve done one ride test. The ride went well until I tried to hold my beer and camera with one hand while going down a hill. I never got going because I immediately went over...

I need to correct my last post. My friend in Vegas just sent me a photo of his 26” E Stingray. I call him Vegas Bill but he’s on Rat Rod. I added another one of his very cool bikes.

I like it and I really the chain ring/guard.

Update on Firestone Build. I made an attempt at painting the frame. Im not good… I have an update on the Firestone. I made an attempt at smoothing and painting the frame. I had a single color planned but ended up with a few. The project was one mistake after another. I’m not too good at...

That is worth a 4 hour round trip…. Crank up the tunes and go. Very unique

Cool. More power is better. I have a buddy in Vegas that builds 26” Stingray with E front wheel. 30mph. He’s around 6’3” but likes riding Stingrays. Good Luck

That’s going to be a really nice. I’ll be checking out your updates. I Love Laguna Cruiset!

I really like the looks of the crank set. I would polish the heck out of it.

I’ve never seen that seat clamp. Very cool

Awesome frame set. The badge looks great.

Frame update with more pics. I’ve been sanding and thinking. I’m not sure if I need to do anything else to the rear end but I’ve cut a few templates as samples to help decide if I should add metal for strength.

Here is an explanation/update my Girvin installation. I found the headset last month and knew that I would use it, when I started the install, I had a few to choose from and the gold one was the same size as the original bearing cups. The original cups had rotten old shims to give them a...

Thanks I appreciate the information.

I appreciate the tip. I had a pro friend sand blast for me. He was surprised at the quality of the work underneath the rotten red paint. The original frame builder definitely took pride in his work. The brazing Is very cool and I thought about clear coating it. Unfortunately I want to...
