This is a set of S7s from a later Lil' Chick. Single speed with a shimano coaster brake. Tires are original but not in great shape. Original reflectors...these even have the plastic end cap protectors! I haven't touched them except rubbing the stanp with my thumb for this picture, but they...

There are a couple of those magic gear calculators online. Building fixed gear/ single speed bikes with vertical drop outs requires a tensioner unless you can get a near perfect match for your chain stay length...one ratio perfect for the bike. The Raleigh has horizontal drop outs so I had some...

Some days I love the color and other days not as much. Even on days when the color is working against it, she gets out more than anything else I've got in the garage. She rides like she's dressed in satin, and even among the custom bike crowd the double-single-speed set up gets a lot of...

For me it goes back to seeing old Major Taylor posters...well before the Pashley Guv. My current darling is my converted Raleigh Sprite "dingle speed" path racer, but I'm just not all in on the root beer brown...She does get a ton of looks though. I thought briefly about using this one as...

That'll be for a Class 2 bike then? Remember, it has to be "ridable".

I think I'll set it up with some cream colored tires and call it The Black and Tan. Good enough?

Yup...extra crispy! Go to thecabe.com if you're looking for original recipe, right?

I had made the trip out to the swap meet to find the missing parts to the Bullwinkle build... What I came home with was an extra crispy mid 60's (?) BSA 3 speed. I have just finished off a Hercules path racer build that is unfortunately too small to keep. The Hercules was started after...

The one I'd seen was probably loose cogs spaces onto a free hub, not a freewheel.

I’d seen one like that built for mountain bike Singlespeed World Championships. I think it was about being eligible while keeping sponsorship commitments.

I know where the code should be, but the chrome is blistered off just where the stamp was....never see that happen. There's also almost no finish left on the crankset. I'm not sure I'll salvage much from this bike but the frame and fork, but I'm pretty sure when I swap my parts over I'll be able...

I wasn't looking for a bike at Wethersfield, but this old BSA called to me. I think I might swap out the parts from the Hercules build, which is too small for me, onto this frame, which is just right, and keep her. No idea what year and there are no markings left on the wheels or hub. Doesn't...

Probably doesn't need to get discussed if it just gets done. Could you please add an item in the swag shop for a $5 donation for the upgrade and we could buy however many we want with Paypal or card? Thanks, Ken

I’m guessing the folks who would want an upgrade are on the Facebook mobile side of things.

Bump ...This week end!!! Weather might be perfect.

Speaking for myself...I have a bunch of parts that cost me no money that I probably will never use, but are too cool or too rare to just scrap. I'd be willing to list some of these things on a fundraiser thread if it was created. I'd list them as price + shipping, recover my cost and donate the...

Virtual swap meet? List some parts you might not use, collect your shipping cost, donate the rest?

I'd be leaning on a rep from Monarch to lead you through this at this point. If they can't list the actual spacing spec.s and compatibility for the fork, just send it back. Shouldn't they be offering a great price on a wheel for you at this point? Where did you source your wheel from? Do you...

That front hub spacing should have 100mm spacing. It's common now for hubs to be spaced for 110 "boost" to fit wider tires. It's also common for hubs to use an adaptor to allow switching from 100mm QR to 100 thru axel to 110mm thru axel by switching end caps. Your fork has flat mount tabs. There...
