:) Check this out! Front and rear drum brakes and a good ol 3 speed. I am thinking of cutting the hubs out for a tandem cruiser project I have but I not sure yet. [/img]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/sideways_bucket/2006_1205oldboy0092.jpg

:) Electra makes a cool redline for that musclecar look or Kenda Flame for the Hot Rod look. The seatpost is a must I find if your riding any distance other than sidewalk crusin'.

8) I "fir" one am getting a "woody"! Welcome to the site ,as Tony the T said your bikes look greaaaaat.

:) Please don't paint it , that's a one time "patina"

:?: Hey guys, has anybody spray-painted aluminun rims , if so how well do they stand-up? I am wondering if I have to use a zinc-chromate primer, LMK Thanks.

WELCOME! :D Good looking bike Adam , you just gotta love those 24 x3 Fattio's

:D No problem new-dharma , I don't know if the others guys have found this but the bikes still scoot with the large tires and make for a nice cushy ride. I also have got a 26 x 3 kenda flame but it won't fit on any of my frames...... oh well.

:D Welcome, from another past 40er

:) I been using old 24" mountainbike rims, you can get the whole bike pretty cheap. On some I did a couple years ago I even used them with derraileurs but the chain gets close to the tires. Now I usually cut the spokes out and replace the hub with a coaster brake unit .( Preferably multi-speed)...

Hey Gotavan I love that D 100, I had the van in that bodystyle back in the 80's. I put a 340 out of '70 Dodge Swinger in it, man it went like greased sh*t through a tin goose. Blew 2 trans and a rearend but boy I suprised a few camaro's!

:) Did you fit that bike in a van to get it home ?

:shock: That bike is making me dizzy........

8) Thanks Fattroy. The striping was done by a local longtime striper , he does great work. If look closely you can see the colors actually go over and under each other in places. The job actually took three days, letting one application dry before the next was applied. I want to get...

:D Thanks for your patience guys it looks like it worked, now .....................what about those two windows?

:D THanks for the help, I think I got it . Just have to get used to it and it should be alot easier.

Did it work? Here's 2 bikes I did 2 years ago for my wife and I.There semi-flat black frames ,her's with blue lacquer tin with Tremclad clear on top, mine has just red enamel.(much easier). They are heavily pinstriped with lot's of polished stainless acorn nuts and button-head machine...

Now what if you have more than one photo (6) on the same post? Thanks

:( There must be an easier way for an old-school guy to post pictures? I signed up w/ photobucket but I still can't get it!

Canadian tire sells Raleigh Choppers with a single person seat (I guess as to not let people double ride) I wonder if it was one of those? Also Eaton's department stores in Canada had a Raleigh Chopper back in the day, and was rebadged as a Eaton's Fastback. Too bad you did'nt get a picture...
