Some points to consider: -if you get another X3, it will still be pretty much all plastic, with a steel inner link.... so it may fail similarly pretty quickly; that's just how kids ride... But at least it will be 1:1 -it is important to remember that not all SRAM derailers run "1:1." Any SRAM...

'49 DX. Hott bike!

Looking at the inner wall of the gen side from the "normal" side of the hug, you will see 4 bolts. Between 2 of these bolts, you will find the "Sturmey-Archer" insignia; between the opposite 2 bolts, you will find "ENGLAND" embossed on the hubshell and, below that, the date code. Mine was...

GH6 hubs put out 6volts; the first dynohubs made by Sturmey were GH12s (which made 12volt power), and they briefly made a GH8 (yep; 8volt) but i've never even seen one of those. GH12 and GH8 hubs are pretty scarce, and they'd need to be run with 12 volt and 8 volt lighting systems, respectively...

that's awesome. it looks like your shadow is riding the second bike.

When rims are listed as "2.125," that figure does not refer to the actual lateral width of the rim. Rather, it refers to the minimum suggested tire size. 38mm wide rims are quite wide, maybe not when compared to modern "fat" and "plus" size rims, but wide when compared to more traditional...

makes sense to me

GH-6 hubs are rad. I never had the courage to crack one open, as far as the generator itself, b/c Sheldon Brown kinda freaked me out about it, but I do own a regular GH-6 front as well as an AG which is a 3 speed rear with the dynamo bits on the NDS...

Whenever you see dropouts like that, you know it's going to be a Westfield-built frame. Whether it wore a Columbia badge (which was the main brand that Westfield sold its bikes under--- every Columbia is Westfield-built...) or something else for some other retailer, you can rest assured that...

It is a Pacific/Dorel Schwinn, though.... Wally-Era, but these were offered at bike shops. Most seemed to have been sold online.

You could also try some bars with more backsweep...?

I've always been a fan of running the fattest tie i can without needing to mod the frame/fork.... so, if it were me, i'd keep the 2.125" rubber and just keep the front wheel trued up...

That's an incredibly rad little bike.

Rad find!!

Yep... the pinch bolts in terms of number, and how they're attached, plus whether they're wrapped at the pedals or not. Here's a confusing but informative thread on the subject. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=694556 Without seeing your pedals, i do not feel prepared to guess a...

paypal sent. Thanks!

I'll take that stem. PM me your PP information, please....

Looks Snyder-built, late 40s.

Weird, looks like the folders, but without a hinge, and then there's the larger diameter rear wheel.... is it a trike with the rear end swapped out for a single?
