OK, I'm lazy - I just grab a handful of the $1 rim strips at my LBS every so often when I'm in there. Robert

Very Very Cool! Robert

That has a pretty cool stance when you look at the side shot - nice job! Robert

Howdy! This is something I've been fiddling around with the last few weeks when I can. I wanted some cheap transportation and I've got plenty of bikes so why not a Motorbike? And I figure I might as well do it in style so I'm using my '47 CWC Frame as a base. Quick story on the frame - a guy...

Love the interesting lugs and any bike that comes with brazed on pump pegs is fine with me - nice! Robert

Those are very unique looking grips - never seen grips with fins before. Colson braced drop stand probably worth $100 by itself. Great score! Robert

Congratulations on your Bike Themed Engagement! Can't wait to see the Wedding Pics!

They sure liked to mix things up - usually they used the fancy Shelby sprocket on the Shelby bikes.

Or you can buy any old Cleveland Welding Shockmaster - they have 1" tubes and NEVER Bottom Out (I'm right at 300 lbs). Robert

Hi! Very nice score on the Hawthorne. Cleveland Welding started using the seat post binder with the annulated ring in 1948. In 1950 the Shockmaster springer went through changes that saw the springs go from a cylindrical shape to a barrel shape and the lower truss from straight to the bumper...

Hi! I was just going through the finished bikes quickly glancing at the pics waiting for something to catch my eye - this one definitely did it. Between the tank, seat and fairings you have created one of the most unique looking bikes I've seen. After I looked at all your finished pics I...

Hi! I loaded some pics into photobucket - these are the four Schwinn S-7 Rims I sold to a member. These too are modular in that they slide in and out of the box as a complete unit. I went back to my cardboard strips again for this one. I just folded the cardboard so it not only protected the...

Hi! I'm going to be packing a wheelset directly - I will take pics and post them in this thread so check back in the next couple days. I'm also going to be packing a frame by itself so I'll do the same with that. And I have some pics of four S-7 Rims I shipped I'll include along with pics of...

When I ship a wheelset I do remove the axel from the front wheel but I've never taken a New Departure rear hub apart and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. If someone sent me a disassembled ND rear hub I would be in big trouble. Ideally that would be the best way to ship them especially since they...

Kerosene - old school

This one doesn't count for usual cost because it's International and of course it depends on where you are in the US in relation to my location. From Indianapolis I can ship a complete bike in two boxes to Puerto Rico for $65.00. One more important note that I didn't throw in because it's...

I heard once there actually is a course that teaches you how to pack STUFF so I always make a joke about it when the situation involves packing anything. In this case it's a bike. If you've ever shipped a complete dressed out bike - fenders, chain guard, rear carrier - and wanted the cheapest...

The CWC Sprocket with that design is perfectly flat both sides whereas the Monark is "cupped?" like a Schwinn. Nice 3 gill frame score! Robert

Ditto - I've got 26"x3" Kenda Flames Front & Rear of my Dyno Roadster and I out coast everyone in my cruiser club on the hills! Robert
