Yep, sometimes I put a screw into parts I'm joining then bury the whole thing in JB Weld. Fixed a car radiators and rusted holes in oil pans with sheet metal screws. Apply a coat of epoxy to as clean a surface as you can get, then run in a sheet metal screw or two (leave them sticking up a...

Perfect for bicycle shaped objects that dont't get ridden anyways.

JB Weld to the rescue ! If it's the flexy stuff that fuel tanks and ATV bodys are made of instead just weld it back together with an old solder iron and if you need to add material any old milk jug works as fill rod.

Love that stand! I gotta make something like that and save my back.

Pulled it all apart and discovered 34mm cups, so replacing the whole headset should be easy. Bottom cup had loose caged bearing, and top cup had some kinda built in sealed bearing. The top cone is actually a bottom cone, because bottom cone sits on a step a bigger than 1 1/8" there is a very...

Only at the mock up stage so far so just "threw it together'. Disassembly and measurements coming up. 😎

I found a pic from an online seller that may help.

Yes. From what I'm seeing re: parts online, looks like 34mm and 44mm caged bearings are common sizes. Are these measured by the id of the race / outside of bearings? Maybe just need a bearing or I can swap cups with smaller race? I'm wondering if the cone on the fork could be smaller on the...

Cannondale H300 was in rough shape when I got it and I think the head stock bearings were damaged and I threw what I could find in my parts stash in it to get it working then. Now I'm experimenting adding a suspension fork to soften the ride a bit and raise the bars a bit. I don't have much...

These are the days that I appreciate a well curated stash of experienced bike parts to pick from. Have not been to a swap in 2 + years and live in a rural area so used parts and bikes are pretty much a way of life for me. Sometimes I see a set of bars, grips or tires that I think are awesome...

I know how you feel, Got this '47 Monark, heavy and solid. Kilts you say....

Yep, There is a generic "builds" forum. Only thing is one could pretty get it complete then 'join' the competition, So you didn't really document your build as everyone else does...

Pics of the pedal options I have. I'm kinda liking the smaller red set, maybe makes the bike look more road-ish? edit - after posting and looking closer, I'm wondering if the big black pedals look best. And seat and bars not final.

Thanks guys! It's encouraging to see this unique bike be so popular. I was watchin' this video yesterday, and I guess this is a Resto-mod? To be uber cool and current maybe a Gravel bike? Well, we have gravel we ride on around here so.... This thing is super light weight too (even with...

Test fit some pedals today. Pedal threads in crank arms seem a little loose , but i have not tightened them yet. Anyone here use medium threadlocker on pedals or chain ring bolts?

Welcome! I have to ask, how do you like that seat spring suspension setup?

It's amazing almost every bike has a few cool & useable parts. Have you tried the Huffy Stem / bars.?

Test fit the new crankset today. No experience with this newfangled hollowtech clone type so going slow. With all 3 spacers on the right side just a tiny bit of chain sprocket clearance. Chainline looks good.

The story is it looks like new and my late brother picked it up at a swap meet for $5 maybe 7 years ago. It sat on his shelf till I inherited it. I have not ridden it yet, all I know is there is suspension there, unlike the rock shock which is stuck. Read some reviews here...
