Make a custard with vinegar and starch or any other carbohydrate, smear it on the stuff to be derusted, leave it on overnight, wipe it off, clean it and finish it with some linseed oil.

Indeed it is. Almost forgot about this Koga Miyata..

Spare-parts klunker:

Here are some 26 inch singlespeeds i built/converted/owned:

A few years ago i designed a frame in Sketchup, the concept is a stretched frame, with a focus on speed and function over form. I had two of them built by a craftsman. Now i finally have them built up, and am quite pleased with the results. The design: And the result. Pretty close! I proudly...

I suppose you have the cable adjusted properly? You could try taking it apart: http://www.shimano-benelux.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/SG/EV-SG-3C41-DX-2331B_v1_m56577569830609174.pdf Another option is to replace the whole inside of the hub..

Great bikes, everyones a winner, and won a cool bike. You cant compare apples to pears like we say in the netherlands, but since i have to choose i am voting for the ones i would like to have/ride..

My objectives for this bike were minimalism, (also for practical reasons) sturdiness, light of weight, comfort and of course style. I hope to have, at least partly, succeeded in achieving these goals. Cheers!!

Finished for now. New wheelset, grips and cable, the other wheelset was too crooked and inferior to straighten out, i messed up cutting the grips for the switcher, and cut the cable too short. With these issues fixed i present thee without further ado: Lady Snake. Thanx for the comments...

Fenders and rack on: Almost finished:

Thanks a lot everyone for the support. Put the thing together minus rack, fenders and chainguard and covered the decals with a snakeskinpattern: I made the snakeskin pattern in photoshop, printed it out on A4 stickerpaper in greytone, cut it on size, applied it on the frame, and covered it...

Still missing a chainguard and headlight: Put wheels, fork and kickstand in: Mock up:

This will be a new bike for my girlfriend who does a lot of cycling for her job. I want to turn this: into something like this: (sort off). The bike will have 26 inch wheel instead of 28, and a slightly longer fork for a more laid back geometry. The original decals will be covered with...

The advantages of stretched frames for me are: Lower center of mass = more stability, less drag. Longer wheelbase = more momentum. Being able to easily get my feet on the ground. More comfortable placement of pressure-points. Being a longboard-skateboarder, i like the feeling of steering with...

Sold this one:
