Worksman cup size is weird. From what I remember it’s larger than a Chicago Schwinn. You can convert it to 1-1/8 if you wanted. I have a bunch of Worksman cruisers, I converted one to 1-1/8 threadleas and it is solid!

You can convert them to 1-1/8 thread less if you wanted to go that route. The Worksman cup size is weird. Bigger than old school Schwann from what I remember. I think I have some loose cups around if you wanted me to measure them. RatRod did you have to shim that headset?

Looks cool. That jig is something else. What are you using for a bender?

I always found the shipping to be really slow for how close they were to me. But that still sucks.

Cool. I’ve always wanted to make some bmx style forks, I like the old style. Be careful with the burn through on the 4130, I’ve worked with it on roll bars and the inspectors don’t like too much heat. I could be wrong but I don’t think you want to be burning completely through it.

this one is kind of small. I could see one of the bigger frames being a nut buster for sure. I won't be doing anything crazy, the brakes suck.

Year sidewinder is cool I always liked them. That Sierra i mentioned was one of these https://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-Schwinn-Sierra-Mountain-Bike-Near-MINT-Klunker-Sidewinder/283125316629?hash=item41eb957c15:g:7IEAAOSwJbpbg0d~area I never saw one before. still a chicago frame but a little more...

I didn't make it this year. I was mad. i think it rained every day. The last one we had a wedding to go to. I told me wife I was going to summer streets by myself and get to the wedding late but I didn't feel like going alone.

What diameter post? I would do quil style/wedge bolt If you have a guy that welds that could be pretty simple to make

Grind it flat and make a super long quick stem type seatpost

Yes. I'm in jersey not to far from the city. there were insane flash floods Saturday morning in jersey.

Man I just saw an old school schwinn sierra atb on ebay, i never saw one but it's basically a varsity frame early mountain bike. looked just A little more mtb than a sidewinder.

They called for rain all day last week, and it's looking the same this week. Not cool. I look forward to this all year

I completed 2 and started 2 more during the build off. I didn't enter.

Bmx style straight tube 26" fork. I agreee the modern forks just don't look right. Weather it's the drop outs or the tube size I don't know they just don't do it for me. I'd like to try a gbp fork they look good. I took an akisu slash cut for off an old earth cruiser. it looked great and rode...

Really???

That looks great. Did you shim the sealed headset to work in the worksman frame? I like the blade fork in the worksman also.

Cool. I just did a varsity too.

Tire clearance is pretty tight. Maybe 1/4" per side. I'd like a little more aggressive tire this is gonna be used on the trails but I have to see what is available that will clear. I'm not sure how much the fork changed things. It was unrideable when I picked it up and I tore it down as soon...

this is FIRST CLASS. A friend gave me this BRIONI touring bike a few years ago. It had the wheels removed and was left outside for years. They're supposed to be made in Yugoslavia. That's about all I could find out. Frame is super light, lugged construction. I wanted to build a path bike but...
