Lowered the bars 3 cm as well and lowered the seat

So I wanted to stretch the frame out on my bike and bring the rear tire back 5 or 6 inches. The rear drop outs on this lucky frame are bolted on so I got some 1/4 inch plate steel and cut a pair of longer drop outs. the stays widen out so I thought maybe I would put on a 4 inch back tire. Got it...

Trying out some straighter bars

They are 65 mm rims...got them from ruff cycles as well as the tires

nows your chance to upgrade to a 3 speed hub..

Amazing! How did you get that high gloss shine?

Yeah ..I wasn’t looking to do anymore restorations either but they are rare to find where I live and the guy who had it wasn’t into bikes. The bike was in pretty good shape as it was so I figured I should give it some well deserved TLC, and now I’m glad I grabbed it.

Yes. I believe that’s true..mine was built in the original factory as far as I know..it wasn’t used much I dont think...I haven’t detected any issues with cracks in any part of the bike. It really is in remarkable condition for being 56 years old.

I know...but I’m lazy...thank you!..

Can someone tell me the best way to remove rust spots off this frame and fenders without affecting the paint around them..thx

Recently picked up this MEC badged dahon for a smokin deal. It was dirty and the tires were flat but after a good cleanup newer tires and saddle it’s just like new

First I punched holes in the leather just big enough for the casing body to fit thru but not the cap. Got I nice snug fit. Then I used a a pipe cutter to cut the bullet casing to the length to fit the thickness of the leather. Then I used a dremel cutting wheel to cut the bullet casing along the...

I’m actually starting another bag for my a Moulton. A different style.
