Had a little time after dinner and put the chain on and went for a test ride. It was very smooth. Had no brakes or shifting ability and started moving pretty good. Then it kinda hit me, Im wearing flip flops and have no way to stop. Luckily I didnt have to. I like the back rest at its highest...

The headlight came in. I love the wild look of 6 leds in the front but Im not a fan of the bracket. Its a little too generic for me so I will have to come up with something better. Also worked on the rear rack. I tweaked the front mounting bracket the best I could here. I will take it to...

fantastic restoration. Very cool

Rear wheel is complete and I love the pie plate. the rear derailer also showed up. I ordered a kickstand but the wrong one was sent. Im going with this older riveted crankset since I dont anticipate wearing out the chainrings. Im gonna be riding it but not that much. I tried several front...

But these are cooler

The eyeballs are cool

I wanted to get away from triple tree forks. I like springers but the head tube is too long. So i went with truss rods for an older simpler look

I just saw this thread, is it possible to still get one?

That seat is awesome

Not all the parts are for this build but Im happy with what is here. My crank looks like crap next to the shiny chrome, might have to get a new one

Aah ha, I was saved by a phone call from her mom and got to open a few. I have been concerned about the fit of the truss rods. The length I measured was perfect but I was afraid they would not leave clearance for the front brakes. There is plenty of clearance to leave the posts and mount the...

More parts came today. I have to run some honeydo errands and then its gonna be like Christmas when I get back

I think the one in the first and third pics looks the best

Yes indeed. Im thinking about bicycle builds in a whole new direction. If the Easy Racer was in good shape, I would have left it alone. It wasnt until I stripped it that my mind started racing about doing a hot rod

This is a toy Ive had for at least 30 years. Ive always been a fan of old hot rods like T buckets and model As with the fenders taken off, open wheel race cars and home made racers out of old fuel tanks. Muscle bikes like stingrays have always captured my imagination too but I never really...

Todays new parts: tubes, rim strips, grips and a pie plate

Thank You, I have looked everywhere for axle covers and nothing came up. I saw a set on a schwinn last year and they have been on my mind

What are these called and where can I find them?

Nevrdull is a metal polish no longer available in CA. I tried a small piece last night and they shined up. I have to take the wheels apart to lube them up, put in new rim strips and new tubes still, i will polish them up then and Im sure many times after. I went through my parts bins and...

The chrome wheels came in. Not the best quality chrome but I have a can of nevrdull and Im gonna go to town on them. The rear wheel is so much fatter than the aluminum. Also talked to a friend that knows a guy that paints for a screamin deal.
