No, the old hubs are 32 spoke. The new hubs are 144 spoke. So there is a rather large difference. HELP!!!

So I have received many of my new bike parts but I have one serious issue. The rear hollow hub wheels that were on it, require a different kind axle than others being sold. The old wheels were each affixed to their own axle and only turned with the axle. The new wheels have bearings in the...

I think that is a great idea. Let the frame/welds be the focus.

BTW...I see everyone is saying where they are from. I am located in Charleston, South Carolina.

If I didn't have this bottom bracket, what would I have to do? Just curious.

Yeah, I accidentally included the bottom bracket in the photo. All those bearings need to be replaced, especially the ones for the rear wheels. I have no idea what kind of bearings to replace them with. Also, the small wheel thingy that the chain goes on in the back of the bike. Another...

Ok, everything in this photo (in my opinion) needs to be replaced.

Those are very, very nice!!

I bought digital calipers today. I'm just unsure of what exactly I'm supposed to be measuring. If I posted some photos of the items in question, could you or anyone else help me figure it out? Thanks.

Could someone please tell me how to measure what size of handlebar stem that I need? I usually see 21.1mm or 22.1 or some metric size like that. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the two rear wheels are not hollow hub and would not work. But I do like your thinking. UPDATE: I purchased two - 144 spoke 20" wheels off of eBay. I also decided to purchase a 26" springer bent fork for the front from Amazon. As far as the fork is concerned, I'm just testing it...

To be honest, I've kicked around buying a $300 trike that I could reuse a lot of parts I need. But in this case, I would just be making into another stock bike...not something I want to do. If I could find the three wheels I need (not new, barely working, and cheap), I could get everything else...

Sorry, I came off as unappreciative in my last comment. I am thankful you looked for me, I'm just getting sticker shock with some of the prices.

$200 for one wheel is marked up >100%. I would have to pay $600 for bicycle wheels. I can get two new trikes for that price.

Yeah, I saw those but they seem so overpriced when you add the shipping. So indeed, they are out there, but paying 40% above market price seems crazy when you add in all the other parts that have the same markup.

Soooooo...after reading the reviews, I decided to send another email. This time requesting cancelation and telling them I would contact BBB. I'm not joking, as soon as I pressed send, I got a response text telling me the order had been canceled and my money has been refunded. Thanks everyone. I...

Oh no, thank you for commenting this.

Thanks a lot! I will check them out.

If anyone has 2 - 20" hollow hub wheels (72 to 144 spoke), please let me know. I am in great need! Thanks!!

UPDATE: I have finished sanding the frame, handlebars, fork, etc. I have also finished priming the fork and handlebars. I'm hesitant to do more until I get some wheels. It's almost impossible to find any 20" hollow hub tires, especially 144 spoke. I purchased some from Mr. Bikes but I haven't...
