Haven't posted any pictures of this for awhile. Last week I got the front brake and wheel spaced and aligned finally. Being home made that disc was waving both directions and had to re-center it, it was moving up and down as well. Have the rear derailer connected and dialed in. Still need to...

Most definitely could move the spokes. But I think I'll just make another one rather then pull this one apart.

All of the quill style seat posts I was looking at were either way to short, too rusty or more then I wanted to spend. So I'm making my own. Just got this in the mail for $7. It's the correct diameter and thick enough not to bend but should still flex a bit if needed. So I'm going to cut the...

Decided that the 24" 1976 Sears & Roebuck Free Spirit Ted Williams Jr. Edition trike is up. The only other bike I've had longer was the specialized (After Thought) that I entered in the last build. So using this build as the excuse to get this back up and running. Not 100% on the direction it's...

Pair of front axel acorn nuts. These are off a 1947 Monark Super Deluxe. They also fit the Firestone Super and Super Deluxe bike's. Shows slight wear but should polish well. $22 shipped. Please ask any questions prior to making a purchase.

Awesome looking bike. Those look close, the ones I got look like they bend forward a bit more. I haven't had an all chrome bike since highschool in the mid 80's it was either my Hutch or Predator. Can't remember which was the last. They were the last 2 for sure.

These may end up being pushed around by my trike.

Just got these in the mail today with other forks and a bunch of chain guards and I kinda want to build a bike around these. They're so shiny.

I got a 26" guard in today exactly like the red 24" one above and a second possible substitute.

Added a bunch of other items with more to follow.

I have 2 I want to build, but going to stick with just 1 this time. Still not sure which yet though. The Western Flyer will be here next week and the trike has been torn down to the frame since last summer.

I got the post moving which is all I needed at this point. I did get the stem out but the screw on top bearing cap is rust welded to the threads on the forks. I'm restoring this bike for someone and he wants to retain as many of the original part's as possible or id have already just cut the...

Very cool. I'm having the same issue with a 1947 Hiawatha. The seat post and the stem are stuck and at some time in the past the stem bolt was broken off, so started searching here for ideas. This takes care of the seat post problem, now to figure out the stem. Thanks, for sharing.

Put together another clock, this one can stand on a table or shelf or hang on the wall. Bought the signed print online a couple weeks ago. The boy in the print reminds me of my grandson.

NOS SAF Enterprises Flick-A-Flector, self rotating Bicycle Reflector kit. Have not been able to find any information or even a mention of these online. Puts this firmly in the "Unique Item's" category. From the packaging I'm guessing 1960's-1970's? I installed a set on my Gold 1969 Raleigh...

Good, glad you got it handled.

I was thinking about it, I'm going to dump some cash into this one and wait for the exact parts I want for it and a lot of them will be both hard to find and a little more money then I've spent in the then I don't think it will happen by the deadline. I have another build in mind for the build...

Are either of these what your looking for? The silver one I just removed from a positron shifter and front derailer. The white one I think came off a 66 Ladies Breeze, but not 100% sure. I've been pulling everything out of my sheds to organize and have piles of housings, just unclear on which...

Upon further review. I'm selling this before me and andor my wallet get hurt.

While I was putting the bars on the stem I had the bar ends all the way forward on the ground while I started the bolts and I was thinking a short set of bars on a ebike Im kicking around in my head mounted upside down would make a nice set of highway pegs I could actually steer the bike a bit...
