Nice thing about the old Aheadsets, remove the plastic retainer ring and the unit can be totally overhauled. I was hoping to re-use the cantilever brakes but the Rock Shock I have does not have a hanger for the brake cable... Tore apart the rear suspension, no signs of wear on any of the...

How will I know if it's worth having this thing taking up space waiting for rebuilding if I don't rebuild it?:cool2:

Hoping to go see the guy this Saturday and start talking deal... I might be in luck for tires, my summer tires on the Astro (15") are worn such that I wont be remounting them next year and if the rims are 16" I have set off my old Forester. I forgot to check tire size when I was there last...

Well, what's left of one. Pulled this out of a scrap metal pile today. Only thing holding the broke fork on is the brake cable.. Wife says I need a normal bike for when we ride as a family, something I don't have to worry about getting stolen or that isn't one of my cruiser creations...

It would be great to bring it back to camper. Lots of potential there too. I think I could do what modification I need without prohibiting that from being an option down the road. Get it weather tight again, tires and brakes, better storage/shelving, some lighting. Even making the rear into...

good on you Chad talking him out of saving it. I've found that straightening rims that aren't even that bad ends with 1/2 the spokes wound up way too tight and the other half super loose, which inevitably ends in failure. Fine for last ditch, need to get out of the woods but not so good for...

So you will fix it and then he will sell it to some body else and when it suffers catastrophic failure...... I could see fixing it only if I was stuck out in the boonies, and I was the only one going to be using it, then I would change it out. It's obviously a low quality part, and now it has...

Thanks Luke. The addition I am remodeling it particularly challenging. I would guess it's like 80 years old, and the floor system is half timber frame with recycled beams, the other half is sawn lumber but the layout is all over the place. The back foundation wall is within a 1/8" of level all...

It was an old bread box camper. Something like late 30's - early 40's. I've seen some similar looking trailers but none with the raised roof. At some point it was gutted and turned into a handyman's trailer or something along those lines. Inside is full of shelving, bunch of overhead...

throw it away. That's no longer a rim, it's a liability..

Can anyone else visualize a carpentry trailer here.. I just cant see spending at a minimum $1,500.00 for a used cargo trailer made out of tin that will likely need a bunch of work. This thing definitely needs more than a little tlc but it has good bones and its built like a tank. Roof has a...

Been a while since I updated. The well pump died last month so that was a bit distracting. 200' of pipe... I saved them a couple grand and did it myself. Converted the 1/2hp 3 wire pump to a 3/4hp two wire. Last weekend I rebuilt the front steps, basically replaced a cement block and...

we are now adding an arch window to the upper gable. And someone said something about another closet and window seat. Hoping to get more done this weekend, just got to keep juggling....

Carl, I'd much rather be building a deck right now! There is a plan for a small entry porch but a back deck would be nice, we'll see. You do much with cable railings? I've done a couple this year and they are pretty nice for keeping the railing invisible. 10 hours of demo yesterday, Pulled...

The existing floor system has a central 6x6 running 16' across with a pile of rocks in the midspan). The end attached to the garage uses hewn timbers spaced about 36" o/c, the near half uses rough sawn 2x6's spaced anywhere from 18" to 24" on center. The fir flooring is directly attached...

Got a good bit of work done at the house yesterday. dug out the footing that the PO had poured at least 15 years ago. Threw down a PT plate and posted every 16" with 6x6 PT posts. Looks like overkill but it will be below grade. I'll be extending the room about 15" to allow for more space for...

Haro time trial bike, possibly Hannebrink design?

bummer. I'd add a gusset between the down and seat tube at this point. Still some miles left in that thing!

Last fall my inlaws moved closer to us and purchased a house that belonged to a friend of mine. Over his ±10 years of ownership he completed much of the structural work, rough in and some finish work turning a major fixer upper into a blank slate of a vintage New England cape with a more modern...
