Why in the world would you replace that seat? Looks perfectly safe. Oh, man, that would be extremely fun to work on that bike. Like Crash, for me the real kick is in bringing the bike back. A Fastback ratrod would be cool, but I'd have to stop (or at least impede) the rust. Especially on the...

Thanks, by the way. My favorite thing to do.

Yes, it's a hole for lubricating the inner workings. The rear hub has a similar opening, but has a plastic cap. Sturmey Archer instructs to only use oil for the rear hub. No grease in the pawls. Since front only has bearings, I'd imagine grease is the way to go. The front hub has a band with an...

Thanks. I actually got this at a different place about a month ago. Man, lots of parts on this pig. My hands have only just begun to lose their cramping. Just in time to start another project.

Picked this up from a movie/TV props sale. 1972 MK-2. Was universally filthy and had some rust. I tore it completely down and dealt with literally ever part. It's clean as hell now. Someone a had welded a crossbar to the bars. I cut that off with a dremel. The front tire is a Michelin moped...

A friend gave me this the other day. It's in very nice condition. The nickel is really sweet, and there's a cool detail on the bolt shaft. It threads smoothly. Does anyone recognize it? Thanks. Joe

Pretty cool feature, for sure. From digging on the Internet it seems these are collectable to VW guys as well.

I picked this up last week. Have a project or two ahead of it, but will clean and lube it up soon enough. (It's already broken down. Only way I could get it in my car.) The front wheel and both tires are wrong. I'm going to find the right ones. Also, the lamp needs to be rewired. Pretty happy...

Enjoy:

Sorry, this is the only photo I have with me. My parents gave me this bike for my eight or ninth birthday. It's currently at my place in Boston, along with a box containing the original wheels, cranks, bottom bracket, sprocket, front tire and pedals. The original fenders, reflectors and slick...

Here are some more shots of just the mag. Each mag arm has two machined holes into which the rim fastening bolts are threaded. You can make them out in the third photo.

Not certain how the hub is attached. I'll let you know when I extract this one.

Very cool. Yo I did. Where'd you get that one pictured?

Here's the other:

Thanks, Dan. I'm sure we'll meet up soon.

Thanks for that info, Jaxon. I saw it and had to have it. It's definitely not a Webco or an Iverson. The chrome hoop is bolted to the spokes. Not a single makers mark on the spokes. The seller seemed pretty adamant that the hoop was a CCM and the hub was a shimano. Either way, I grabbed it. And...

I grabbed this today because it looked pretty cool and has an three speed hub. Not a makers mark to be found, but the rim says made in Canada. Anyone ever seen one? Thanks. Joe

I did indeed.

Hey Everybody, Just wanted to take a quick minute and introduce myself. My name is Joe. I'm an American living in Toronto, Canada. I make my living as a musician and a novelist. I met my Canadian wife while were both signed to Sub Pop records in the 1990s. If you told me then I'd be living in...
