A sad thing to read. I wish you all the best.

I like the look of the straight fork, using the same fork on my felt classic build.. Its a 28 inch right? Dig the forkstruts combo too.

It,s a 26 inch, i cut out the top of a rotten cruiser seat, and traced it on the seatpan. Then i cut out the seatpan with a stanly knife and used doublesided tape and bolts to put it together..

Mockup: Starting to look like a bicycle again..

That,s obvious! Do i really need to explain everything?

Shall we call it Archie,s Method?

Think i have an idea where this is heading, i kind of like the contrast between straight and curved lines.. Mmm..

I attached a stem to a fork for leverage and the stem to the seatpost: Move back and forth while standing on the frame..

Bought a felt classic for 30E yesterday: Starting the breakdown, stem comes loose normally for a change.. Time for a break. Now for the exciting part, will the stuck seatpost removal tool i thought up yesterday function? At first the stem started rotating, so i tightened it stronger and to...

Bought a Felt Classic cruiser with nexus3 wheelset for 30E, looks pretty roughed up and the seatpost seems stuck.Gonna take it apart tomorrow. Not sure yet what i,ll do with it. This is sort of how it is supposed to look:

Thanks a lot for the appreciation, but i often have the feeling that the bikes i build piece themselves together with me as a mere mediator. As if the parts were destined for each other..

My new klunkers:

Plenty of grease is always advisable when putting in a seatpost, i,ve had the same problem several times. sometimes it helps to ¨wriggle¨ (wiggle?) the seatpost in, pushing it back and forth, side to side, carefully a bit while pushing it in. Often it is only the top which is too tight. Be...

Made from a neglected Cruiser, a kid,s BMX and an MTB fork: Ok, it,s not a Schwinn, but still.. Build Thread

It feels like unwrapping a shiny gift in a disgusting package...

There is no need for tools that damage the remaining chrome, all i needed to remove the custard is a hard household brush like this: And a scrubbing sponge like this to apply the linseed oil: Use the scrubbing side only for non-smooth surfaces, to get the oil in the pores, use the soft side...

In this recipe i will use white vinegar, plain white flour, rusty objects and linseedoil: Make a mix of flour and vinegar and stir well to avoid lumps: Boil the vinegar, when it comes to a boil turn down the heat and add the vinegar starch mixture. Keep stirring until it thickens to a real...

Very tasty looking burrito,s! What is the wheel size, and how fast is it relatively to other bicycles?
