found my tires, had to dig around in the sub-zero garage to get em, but i got em.

and got it all done! i got 12 underneath the sprocket, and 9 on top. will have to wait to try it out...snowing here, again!

got my bendix 70 all ready for hot rodding. by the looks of the last pic, ive got a touch more bench grinding to do. now this has got me wondering if i sould hot rod my bottom bracket...

good too see that this can be done on the bendix 70, might try this on mine. i've got a bunch of old bearings.

i cut up some cardboard for some rough templates to beef up the rear end of the frame. my hope is this will be enough to keep it from bending.:eek: now i just have to figure out how to clean up my saw marks...no grinder..:doh:

glad to see you couldn't resist:bigsmile:. i am a west coast transplant( born and raised in the san fernando valley), i sure wish i could escape this nasty cold and snow and ice..ect....

got in a short ride. 45 today in omaha, melting some ice on the sidewalks. rake will take some getting used too. but i am happy with the ride overall. feels like a bmx to me.

i cant even sell a mens model english 3-speed for that much, here in omaha, might be a different story where you live. it depends on if YOU like it. if so, then its worth it.

they would fit. thats the plan. no welder, but i may have to outsource. either tubes or a plate on both sides.

got ol' porky rideable, just to much ice on the ground to get a proper ride in. only problem i can see is that the bottom bracket is so high off the ground, i had to lift up the seat way high. like getting on a semi:21:. now to figure out how to brace the rear end up...dont want to bend it...

nice frame! welcome to the madness, and welcome to rrb!

had to do another mock up with new forks, my friend cut and tapped them to fit. i am now officially excited about this build! lovin the stance of this bike! thx kjv for the offer off the forks!

gonna look locally first kjv. but may end up seeing what you have, thx much.

got the crankset on. i think the grey and reddish pink will look good.

i thought about going that route, but i like the 26" in back. i am, however, going to have to find some straight forks, the curved ones just dont look right to me.

did an early mock-up, just to look at the stance. i think the rake will be fine. gonna use the bars and neck. they are from a 90's royce union freestyle bike. i have the matching crank and seatpost clamp. may use the seat and post also, well see... old s-7 rims, prob wont use them, hard to find...

i think i can make the 26" fit! it will be tight, and it will look kinda funny:rofl:, but i think it will work. i may just do top and bottom plates, drilled thru, up closer to the seat, will see...

unfortunately, they welded them together. i am going to shave about a quarter inch off of the bottom of the steer tube so my forks will fit.

ok. i will figure something out. they have to come out regardless. thx falstaff

well i found some schwinn forks that will barely fit, might have to find smaller cups to get the crown nut on. and a quick question: if i cut out the cross braces, will i have to put some back in more towards the seat tube? will it still be structurally sound without them? thx for any input!
