If I don't score the right cranks and wheels for my build off bike soon I might just dress this one up hotrod muscle bike style.

I've been inspired...might just go get this one tomorrow. $30, with a broken pedal.... but it does come with the upgraded springer fork.

I have tons of experience with disc brakes. The caliper will mount behind the fork so the braking force is pushing it into the bracket instead of pulling it out. The 6 bolt hub/ disc interface spacing is correct. I couldn't find a detail of the Monarch fork, but the Cuda disc springer runs the...

Acquired in trade.... I know nothing about it but it's kind of cool and probably worth more than the (free) ladies Schwinn Varsity I gave up for it. Whatever you guys want to tell me about it I'd be glad to know. It needs the seat recovered but other than that, it's in fine shape.

Just a quick bump to the thread. I know many of you must love when something gets used for the exact purpose it's been built for. So, here they are...Chickie and Griffon headed out looking for butterflies and scouting for milkweed.

Even if they dumped it overboard, I bet that SA hub still works. The chrome would probably polish up too. These things were built to go the distance!

I watch those ads pretty close...that guy has about 6 bikes for sale and the pictures are all from that same POV. The guy must be 8 ft tall. I'm intrigued by these (look close)... a pair of Italian made Chiorda Safari folders. Condition is questionable. $50 for the pair

AND....DONE!!! ( and, yes, I did have the right pins for those cranks!!!)

Last bit of disassembly... I think this is a Sheldon Brown trick for the cottered cranks....what a legacy that guy left behind! Pulled apart, cleaned and re lubed the hubs, bottom bracket, and headset. Scrubbed the chain real nice with the wire brush. Tires came from the same wreck that gave...

I got 3 of these Motobecane saddles for $40...this is the worst of the 3. Perfect to send out on a bike like this. I'm not sure I'd want to put in a long day with grips this hard, but again, I really like them for this bike.

I'll be setting aside my build off 14 project for a couple of weeks while I track down the parts I want. So....on to the next one... I'd picked this out of the same barn that Chickie's Butterfly Hunter came out of...another crusty $10 gem that went right into storage when I got it home. I...

I think by definition it means the image of the subject is larger than the subject itself. In the digital age, I don't think the method of how you get there is important. But I wouldn't let the efforts of other amateurs annoy me, especially on a relaxed site on the backroads of the interwebs. If...

"I'll need nine per side.....and I'm sure I'll drop at least one... so that's 20." Sold my Bianchi this week....that one cleaned up nice! Can't keep 'em all.

Yup...I saw the fork was a little bit out, but if nobody else was going to say it, I sure wasn't going the be the one to open my mouth.

There were different housing lengths sold for different applications....frames that use pully instead of a full length housing. I think I have one. Edit...The cable is common between the 3CC and the 333, right? If it is, I do have one that's used, but from a pretty good donor if you want to...

Will a Lil' Chick do it?

I'm not a fan of the old adjustable stem, but the bars and saddle are perfection.

The effective top-tube is no joke either. All the proportions are a little odd. Ever notice how some Dutch bikes just sit a little strange? It reminds me of that.
