Crash - that is a good photo of the guard ring - is that the same as the one the Rails need ?
Will be watching for your magic on this one, as I have it's twin in my fleet ( as most of mine = as found,unrestored, lol ) .
Depends on th ebike and age - a lot more originaly came with treaded 'Tractor grip' or similar tread tires, than slicks, although the slick is often preferred for the look :) .
As long as it looks good, and big n littles, I just build em , lol.
Will be watching this one - as I have it's twin in the shop, buried.
Mine is missing the guard :(, did find one I bought an entire girls convertable bike to aquire - any chance while you have it apart you could scan the guard lettering ? ;)
Not sure why it's machined witht he round bead 'crimps' . 50 bucks for a repop that looks wrong is nuts - here's a photo of a non-functional one I made for my 70 fenderless, not quite prefect but close, and minimal costs .
Eagleeye - Thanks for the info and links,I did find a 71 ad and it matches my serial '47548'. Good to have the diagram of the shifter, too, will have to dig out my parts I have and see if they are right for this one ( fingers crossed ).
Cool info on the fork extender, I figured homemade, but...
Could post in fresh finds, but need input from the pros, so here goes, the semi condensed version.
Guy a few weeks or a month back talks to me at the flea market and says he has a banana seat bike or two... talk more... says he has a chopper bike with shifter.
Ok, got me interested...
Not trying to nitpick, but can you clarify the rules on minor frame mods ? if they fit the class ?
In other words - would a sexchange but stock appearing bike be ok in class 1 ?
What about cutting out and rewelding a brake bridge ( ie: swap from coaster to 3 speed Stingray ) ?
Looking forward to this.. going to even try to enter this year, doing a project within a timeframe, especially with NY fall weather, never seems to work out, but I need a kick in the pants to finish something. :)
Decisions, decisions... hmmm
What's the rule on multiple entries ? still ok...
