    Any threads about adding gears to a bike?

    I´ve been itching to put a Patterson crank on a bike with a NuVinci or even a 3speed for a while now.... Gear ratios would be difficult with the Nuvinci, though... probably the Patterson with the standard 28t sprocket coupled with a 15t on an AW would do it. I haven tried it yet, but I´m...

    Summer Re-Builds - Worksman INB & Dyno Glide

    On the one hand, some ppl (like my wife) might say i got too many black bikes. On the other hand, you just cannot go wrong with a black frame. They always look right, and almost any parts you hang on´m will look ok with the black,,,,

    disc brakes for older rattraps do they eixist?

    I think it might be cooler to design and build a disc springer from scratch. It would probably be the same amount of work, in the long run...

    disc brakes for older rattraps do they eixist?

    You could definitely modify the rat-trap to accept discs; I agree that you want to put it on the rockers, and thatś a good point re: alignment; even with a drum, you´d need to fab a boss to anchor the reaction arm. But yeah, you could get a disc on there, and it work... but i don´t think the...

    Iḿ glad the BB worked out for you.... youŕe gonna have a low-maintenance, bullet-proof rig, i think... According to the EDD calc, you´ll need 258mm spokes to lace a SRAM Auto coaster hub 3-cross into a 26"Araya 7x rim... Hope this helps...

    Roland Heavy Duty Cruiser

    I think the ¨Roland¨ has a smaller-diameter downtube. Plus, weren´t Cranbrooks always made in China? What´s the serial on this thing? I´m thinking it´s built by Giant....

    Blueing

    There's been thread on bluing and browning frames before; someone won a build-off with a browned bike a few years back. I think you'll find old theads if you search a bi. I mostly want to say that your lgb looks rad; love the ends on that one (mine has the more commonly seen diagonal ends...

    Lets See Those 26" BMX Styled Cruiser Builds

    That makes sense, but it sucks regardless. I guess, in the end, the thief has defined his/herself by that bike more than you have. You're still a rider no matter what, but the thief is a thief until such time that s/he can redeem his/herself.
