threw on the bars in race mode one of the things about using the 3 arrows chainring that i noticed recently it matches the iver headbadge which has 3 screws attaching it and is somewhat in the shape of an arowhead the other thing that i re-did was eliminate the quick exchange rear...

yes there is madness is my method in having it that way I will go more into it once i find where I put the hbars I want to use although it may also go back to the right way once it gets mocked up

I want somewhat of a low look to the bike and to achieve that I went with a 20/24" rattrap springer however I need to keep the rattrap in original orientation to keep it functioning correctly Mainly because it is most similar to the torsion suspension since vintage indy cars are my inspiration...

Yup felt made a 24" speedway bicycle that they came on well I will definitely be building this shark cruiser However if I come across the first year version that is gray I will let you know Yes the rat-tina is awesome but since this will be indy car inspired I have to put on a somewhat nice...

I also have these felt speedway tires ready to put on the bike but they are 24 x 2.125 so if anyone has the 24 x 3.0 style i would be interested in buying one or two for the rear wheel the little version is going up front

Tru but I know from what I have seen on this site when doing the competition builds stuff like Schwinn cantilever, or spaceliners, early straight bar frames are way more popular Even the flightliner frame seems to be liked more (and they are essentially the same) so one of the things i...

Had a little issue finding a particular bolt for the chainrings on this build but ended up finding a something similar that will work the bolt in the center is called an axle bolt I had found 2 but not 3 of them and most the stores that sold bolts only had them in larger sizes But at an Ace...

So like usual I will be showing my main and back up build in one thread First up the main Build J.C. Special Basic Murray Monterrey style frame (although it has a Firestone head badge sticker) that I squired from member CeeBee a few years ago My plan is to build the baddest bike possible out...

convo started on the black shark bite pedals btw couldn't you do pedal axle adapters 1/2 to 9/16 to make the purple pedals work

I recently had an Idea to do a bike in the style of a cross between a BMX and a cyclecross bike or maybe it is more like a strandie crossed between a fixie whichever it is the important part is I found one of the particular frames (in this case a snyder built frame with the double top tubes)...

Got the bendix internals put in the s7 and installed the bottom bracket parts so hear are a couple of mockup views may not look super unique to the casual observer but to those who know bet it is weird seeing the fattest tire able to me mounted on an s7 rim along with a standard looking...

ok lets see if that worked I think my trying to cut down on picture uploading steps was a failure

Really It shows up on my computer and on my phone anyone else having the same issue seeing the pics

At the local co-op I found two possible chainrings to use I liked the quick gear exchange concept that I also had done on B/MSR#305 that I decided to incorporate it into this build the top left is called a three arrows (44tooth) and is popular with vintage bmx next it is the larger attaching...

for wheels and tires I had an old wide schwinn s7 back wheel that had been collecting dust then threw on the 26 x 2 x 1 1/2 (54-571) tandem tire to give it the widest possible look (for a s7 that is) the wheel on the right is supposedly from another tandem it is technically an old 650b size...

I decided to do a build incorporating some very unusual parts First off is a prewar Iver johnson frame I acquired in a trade Most of these bikes seem to have a schwinn like following for guys who restore bikes but I have not seen many if really any done up as a full on rat they posses a lot of...

well i got close and had it not been Easter i might have been able to finish but ran into to many roadblocks at the end A bolt holding the kickstand was stuck and ended up shearing off the drawer tabs where too short (need to order longer ones) pluss some other things that lead to not...

I like the idea so I went to check out the parts to d it at a local hardware store while in the aisle I came across metal case (toggle) door latch that might also work So tank you for steering me in that dirrection BTW the kick stand springs are to arrive today so cant wait to put those on

One thing that i did not realize would be difficult was finding 20" cream tires apparently they only just came out the closest i could find where bmx cream with blackwall But i was able to get a 20x1.95 tire this weekend Also ordered new kick stand springs for the front kickstand Other than...

I knew February i wouldn't have any chance to work on trucking But now that march is here I can get going on it rough mock up shots I took on Sunday to show the direction I decided on
