I love those cranks. They look so chiny!!! Nice job on this build.

Heres a lil sumpin-sumpin to start the weekend... including a couple of nice racks...🤪🤪

too cool!!! id love to get my hands on one of those as well!! I knew watches and bikes were sympatico!!! Thanks for ll the input everybody! Keep it coming! See?? I knew us bike peeps were gizmo freaks!!! Too cool.

So I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread but I apologize if it isn't. Didn't know where else to put it. Anyway it's pretty obvious that we are all collectors on some level. I love these old bikes and they take me back to my youth. I am also a collector of watches, predominantly...

That ol' DX is MONEY!!!

Found a nice Donor bike yesterday for 50 bucks... Put the wheels and tires on the red sled and the bars and the bar clamps on my 5-speed. The seat, forks, bearings etc are saved for another project.

Its hard to tell through a post if you're being facetious or not, but assuming you are, Id say that frame is far beyond jumping up and down upon...HOWEVER...Ive seen some of the work some of these cats can do on this website. With that said, I can comfortably say nothing is beyond repair...(or...

Pile is getting bigger!!

My purist side says: 'HOW DARE YOU", But my wild side says: "OH HELLYEAH!!!"

The Fab shop I took it to hadn't touched it in ten days (they told me 5) so I got it outta there and decided to (attempt to) fix it myself. I put the front half of the frame from the bottom bracket forward on the solid concrete patio w the back half hanging off the edge. I then put my left foot...

I hate the broncos. (Not insinuating that you were intentionally going for that...lol) I'm a raider fan. With that said, that is an awesome color combination.

I'll start... (Does not include my Salsa Journier) I have a 1950 straight bar at the metal shop getting straightened and I have a CWC at the same metal shop getting a couple of holes filled both prior to being powder coated for brand new builds

Pick this up today for 60 bucks. Turns out it's a 1962 Schwinn American. Cleaned it up. Switched out some parts. It's now a proper beach cruiser

I purchased a few of the mounting bolts for the center pull brakes.

lookin for a 26 inch chrome schwinn springer front end...nothin too 'spensive

Took the ol DX out for a cruise today....not a cloud in the sky,...I'd guess about 78 degrees. Not the best pic but the sun was in front of me...

Thanks for the input. I know it's bent, I guess I was just more or less asking the best way to fix it. At some point the rear triangle has "shifted"to the left. I just need to find out the best way to bend it back without breaking it or making it worse. I'll probably just take it to a local MC...

Here's another pic of my issue...

So this is my next build. It's a 1950 panther straight bar. If you look at the rear wheel it lines up perfectly with the head tube, the problem is you can see the top right down tube is bent and it's pulling the seat post tube to the right. The rim is perfectly centered with the bottom bracket...

DUUUUUDE!!!!!
