Last night I was able to get the brakes, derailuer, and wheels on. Was able to finish up the cockpit and cables during nap time today. Just about to take its maiden voyage. Ended up having to use the same stem and bars due to the restrictions of the child seat. But, accomplished the goal...

Today lunchtime task was crank/ bb. Sorted through some stuff and came up with a decent 24t BB. Cleaned up the 180 cro-mo crank, and found a Dotek spider and 40t sugino chainring that’ll get me at a better gear ratio. If I have time this evening I’ll sort the brakes. The ones that came off...

Managed to get a picture of dad bike 1.0. As you can see, not a whole lot different. But, this frame doesn’t have a rear bridge, and hand brakes are one of the objectives. I do have one of the adapter things for a rear brake, but that’s not somethin I really want on a bike that’ll live outside...

Do you have any pictures? There were differences in the Mojave’s that could change the value.

Was able to knock out a few things at lunch time today. Some ‘touch up paint on the bb and brake bridge. Blends decent enough. I just didn’t want too much raw steel as this bike will live outside. Was also able to get a headset sorted. The previous one was super roached, so I dug out a few...

So, these days I’m fortunate enough to spend a lot of saddle time with a co pilot. My current ‘dad bike’ is functional, but lacking just a few things I’d like. Namely, more gears, and hand brakes. (After starting this, I realized I don’t have a good picture of my current set up. I’ll edit that...

Shims exist. Or, swap the seat guts.

Here ya go— https://www.porkchopbmx.com/front-bicycle-bmx-cr-mo-chromoly-hub-axle-3-8-x-26.html I’ve used these on several bikes. Usually order a few to have on hand. Also, what @RustySprockets said. You can pull the modern axle and file it flat on the sides to fit. Also mentioned, modern...

I’m sure some of you have probably seen these repop decal on eBay, but just in case - https://www.ebay.com/itm/144973196940?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=LXl8qm-YTSG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=U-DqCVsgRsy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY @Purzell thought you may be interested I’m...

Let me look up a shipping quote. Being that I’m in California, and you’re on the east coast, it’s not gonna be too cheap. I’ll get back to you on it asap

Be aware that if you plan to use the Schwinn crank that you need 28tpi. The majority of one piece cranks/ bb are 24tpi.

That came out great man! Fantastic parts selection. Soon as Harmon is back open, you’re stoked

This post is a few years old. Not sure what ya mean by tube. I do still have the rear wheel and shifter I’d sell tho. The bike is long gone

I’ve got a few 3’s and a 4. I think a 7 too. I can try to get pics tomorrow

So cool! Love learning history of shops and bike stuff like that. Rad

@MattiThundrrr man I wish I had one of those Grafton ones! I did consider a knock off Ringle - I decided to stick with the original yokes though. Was able to wrap the build up this afternoon— Didn’t get a great pic of the saddle, but it has blue stitching to match the brakes. Front...

Was able to swap the stem to the one I prefer, get the chainring and chain on, brakes on, levers, shifter, and run the derailleur cable/ housing this afternoon. After this pic I put the grips on too. Next will be swapping the saddle, cables/ housing for the brakes, and refitting the front...

Thanks man. Yea, I’ve come to really like/ only ride wide bars. I think these are about 34”. I scored the stem I prefer for this build from a friend, and the chainring needed arrived today in the mail. So, hoping to get this wrapped up this weekend.

Little bit of progress on this one. Got the tires mounted, derailleur and cassette on, crank, and pedals secured. Test fitting bars and stem. So far not liking this stem on there. Ran into an issue with the long cage xtr derailleur. So, swapped it to a short cage one. Which will be fine with...

Oh wow. Thank you all. I’m just happy to be building! Tons of great build’s this time around! Congrats to all who got their hands dirty and built a bike. Hope they’re gettin miles and bringing smiles. Thank you @OddJob for all the heavy lifting!
