I have maybe a dozen of the Shockmaster Springers and I've already cut two down from girls forks - one had the forward facing lower trusses like yours. The 50s springer you have is simply 6 1/2" for the boys, 7 1/2" for the girls - bracket or not. Just reduce the straight leg of the upper...

DITTO!!!

That is still a good price - if you figure $100 for the tires (includes shipping) that is still only $129 for the wheelset and if you've priced these wheels custom built you can pay that much for one! Fantastic addition to the website - thanks again Steve! Robert

Sorry - I just assumed they were the same wheels, I didn't read the description. But now that I have read it, and it does indeed say 26 mm rims, why would they sell a Boa-G 3.45" tire mounted on a 26 mm rim that is only 1.02" wide? Again, I'm sorry but that makes 0 mm sense to me! Can someone...

Hi! I just wanted to clarify what these wheelsets consist of only because the price for wheels and the Boa-Gs just seems too reasonable. The way I read it is a complete wheelset - rear coaster wheel and front wheel - sells for $129. A complete wheelset with 2 strips, 2 tubes and 2 Boa-G Tires...

Re: Pre-War Elgin Yeah, the head light definitely has to go but I still think you got a better bike w/ the Elgin. Robert

I like this look - great use of the friction tape! Robert

I don't have a problem with any of the rules. I participated in RRBBO7 with my "'38 Special" till it came time to paint the frame. I originally thought the frame was beyond a great paint job because of the pitted rust. But the more I ground on it with crocus cloth on a palm sander I realized it...

Adopt ME Please!!! Robert

I don't know crap about BMX bikes - way after my time - but that is a fantastic "parts bike" you picked up. I've bought a few CWC girls bikes for parts mainly because I collect and build CWC bikes but was never fortunate enough to come across one with those quality parts on it. It has to be a...

That cast front fork was only used in 1936 - that's a keeper! Robert

I'd call it Hot Pink and ride it!

My first Park Tool was a big butt Pedal Wrench! I haven't met a rusty pedal since that I couldn't break loose with little effort. And you've gotta have cone wrenches anyways - might as well buy the best! Robert

I've never seen one of these for sale so I felt it warranted attention here as well as in the ebay/cl ads. I've got just a few pics in a file so these were definitely welcome and added. Great piece of Stretch Cruiser History! Robert http://www.ebay.com/itm/HB-Cruiser-Ligh ... 23242b80f3

Hi! I'm not normally a big "Patina" kind of guy but being that classy and complete I'd have to vote "leave it"! BUT, there is no way I could not do some straightening on that basket. Fantastic find! Robert

Re: Sir Western Raleigh Hi! There are a lot of good parts on the girl's Western Flyer. The Head Badge looks to be in excellent condition - wish I had one that nice. The U shape handlebars I use flipped and pointing at the ground on boardtrack builds. And the Brooks Saddle on the Raleigh is...

Definitely cool headlight - and if it came with the hubcaps that's Super Cool! Have Fun! Robert

Hi! Great Cleveland Welding Parts Bike! I wish I could figure out an easy way to use a girls truss fork on a boys bike. I suppose for only one inch I could just use the fork tube shims. I'm always interested in all the different retailers that CWC made bikes for. From the partial pic you posted...

Great story and very cool bike! Is that badged Colson? That chain ring is one that was used quite a bit on Western Flyer bicycles is why I ask. Anxious to see the clean up pics! Have Fun! Robert

Nice skill making new paint not only look old but to match it to other old painted parts. I'm still dying to get one of these style frames. Great Job! Robert
