    Yes. It still isn't welded on but I like them close. I am trying a new way to assemble and attach the lock. I think as long as I keep the pin parallel to the head tube everything should work well when separated by the added space from the bearings and cups. In the past I have always installed...

    Going with a lock mech similar to what the originals had. It needs a little more fitting and prep but I think it will look alright.

    The rims are 20". The front is a narrow rim. The rear tire is a 20 x 3" slick. The front I think was 1.35" x 406. (20") rim. I ordered a 1.35 x 20 and it was a different size. I had to return it and specify 406.

    I am going to try to get a small business going. I will be building recycled metal frames to fund the tools and materials I will need to start the all new metal bikes I plan to do. These will only be for sale locally. For now I just want to share the builds.

    1984? Redline st20 three series

    My 8 yr old was excited to upgrade to a 20"bike this morning. We cobbled this together with parts I had laying around. It was the perfect bike to put the red chain on that I had been saving.

    1984? Redline st20 three series

    The sticker on the left side of the seat tube is in better shape. I have long wanted to build a skinny tire bmx. This should be a fun lightweight bike. It has a lot of wear, missing sticker and paint, some rust. I want to clean this as best I can without damaging what's left. How would you...

    1984? Redline st20 three series

    I found this today in a scrap pile. I was told I could take anything from the pile. I have too many bikes already but it looks like it could be a fun build eventually. Maybe put some super skinny rims and tires like the wheel on my dragster to match the delicate looking frame.

    My first attempt at a build: Introducing a "SwingBrat"

    I like that aggressive stance you gave it. Looking great!

    REDLINE

    Looks perfect! I had one of those stems with the matching bars. That was the best bar clamping set-up I have ever owned.

    LIMITED EDITION 2017 SCHWINN LEMON PEELER

    Nice. Price drop again to $290...They look like a decent rider. Much better than the BFK's. If I didn't already have too many bikes I might consider one. It would be a fun bike to put a motor on.

    That reverse steer looks professional. Did you make it? Is there a kit people should know about?

    Here are a couple more. I have posted these before but many years ago. The excersiser was a lot of fun. I ride one to work once just so I could say I rode an excersise bike to work. %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/brentwulf/bikepics064.jpg%5B/IMG%5D This was a trike I helped a...

    FrEaK BiKeS!!!!

    I thought I may have some advantage over others having ridden some very different bikes myself. I did not. It was every bit as difficult to ride as it looks. It was some of the best laughs I have ever had. I finally started to get the hang of it and needed some parts so I took it apart. If you...

    "Gender bending" 80cc 20" pedal bobber

    I have hit 25mph just about topped out. Between 10-15 mph or so is a good cruising speed.

    "Gender bending" 80cc 20" pedal bobber

    I like to give my bike a one footed push before using the clutch to get it going but it will start me from a dead stop with the same gearing and a 20"wheel as you have. I weigh just under 170lbs. My brother who is about 230lbs got going fine also with minimal pushing. Your setup should work nicely.
