I got the hubs disassembled and all the parts and bearings in a bucket of simple green, I’ll let them soak overnight then start cleaning..

for your bent bolt, I would get a Dremel with a cut off wheel, cut the end with the head as close to the frame as you can, cut a slot in the bolt so you can use a flat head screw driver to turn it out towards the dropout so youre not trying to get the bent part through the frame. also PB blaster

I tried to get the dent out first and made it worse so I stopped. I’m not going to throw the rim in the trash yet but I’m not going to put it back on this bike right now either. I dug a pair of wheels out of the pile with decent chrome rims, I’m gonna do some math and see if I can use the spokes...

I’ve hit a snag already, I started taking the wheels apart last night, I was gonna clean the rims, clean and grease the hubs and replace the spokes.came apart nicely but this front rim is bad, shaped like a pringles and a dent, it’s worse than it looks in the picture. I’ll search the wheel pile...

Thanks, I’m gonna mostly leave it alone 😁

I think it’s a Murray? I’ll check the serial number when I’ve got all the parts off the frame…

I’m gonna take it apart, address any issues, clean and grease the bearings and hubs, replace the dry rotted tires and go from there. The...

dude, step through version of your Thunderbolt build off winner would be killer!!!

I have a Murray frame, fork and chain guard I would donate if someone local wants it…

I’m gonna try to do a disassemble-clean-grease-reassemble on my Higgins step through parts bike. I can steal parts off of it in the future if I decide to…

Just looked it up, it’s now running after sitting for 48 years! but I have no idea how to post a video. Also it was the first 7 second bike
