Got the chain fitted and the thumbshifter ungunked so it functions now. Getting the gears spinning led to the discovery that the rear rim was wonky and there were MANY super loose spokes! Used a tip I read here and utilized a salvaged computer hard drive magnet and a paperclip to make a...

What is the rise on those?

OMG Here I am on the bottom of page 2. Have not done anything bike related for weeks. Back on it today?

Put a basket on the front of that huffy and I bet it will sell easy.

But that's my bicycle budget for the next 36 years!

@Indyjps - The Judy's are in fine but totally collapsed condition. I remember reading your thread awhile back... You would not believe how much gunky old lube and dirt I got out of the Ol' Deore LX. This thing is a tank! No slop at all! Made of metal and solid! Chasing dirt from every nook...

It has been my experience a single speed bike is gonna be a compromise. Someone on here once said,"If it's a little to hard to pedal up hills and a little to slow on the flats your gearing is about right." A lot goes into the calculation, avg speed, tire size, design and inflation pressure, bike...

Cannondale H300 back in the fleet after headset and suspension fork upgrade. NOS SRAM trigger shift replaced worn out twist grip shift ! What I love about this bike is it just gets better with each mod...

She is back on the road... Did a 12 mi loop yesterday hunting the elusive wild asparagus! Rides great! The NOS thumb shifter sure beats the thrashed grip shifter! Rode her over some rough RR crossings and beat up black top sections and it took the "harsh" out.

I've got tons of 20" stuff laying around, your builds are inspiring.

Your tiny tandems are cool !

Still futzing around with bar options to get the fit just right.

Tried a few of the pedals on a Shimano Deore crank and fit is just slightly sloppier than the crank on the Haro. Maybe I was seeing a problem that isn't there. I will use the medium strength threadlocker as a preventative measure.

Yes, the BB spins very nice. The arms are aluminum so threads will be more fragile. I know they say your pedal threads should have an undercut between threads and part that contacts crank face to max grip of threads. Maybe sloppy threads help alignment and grip of threads, but I don't want...

Yep she's 9/16". I've tried 4 different pedal sets including these vintage "998" jobbies, and they all fit loose (on both sides) with side to side play till snugged up. The crankset is a cheap from amazon thing, and it's my first try at external bearing bottom bracket install but I want the...

Love that RED seat !!

The new fork awaits it's install. A recycled cheapie think it came from a wrecked Schwinn Ladies bike carcass.
