two thumbs way up - Novas and Bicycles = all I build :) ps: here's photo of my shop organization :(

Kool idea ono the ladder / fork rack, gonna have to steal that one. (once I find a space for the ladder, lol )

Pretty sure that Araya front rim is correct - the Rail pros will have to chime in, but any Super Stocks ( 24" ) I've had had Araya fronts. Have to think the rails had them as well ?

Great start on a Chopper. Seat looks good, guard is there (near impossible to find). Bars will be tough if those are bad... chrome on the bars always seems to be worse than the rest of bike on these. Fenders are chopper specific so might also be tough, will keep my eyes peeled. I think I have...

worth 300 all day long - the tough pieces are there ( frameset,,the springs and hardware,rear triangle ), incorrect seat,sissy, etc are easily upgraded bolt-ons. Grab it !

finally got some detail pics, busy holiday weekend, whew. HOT, too....

Thanks guys - will be posting some detail shots later, after dark ( have to go out and putter around first, lol - free time is precious. Had to come in and check in RRB while cooling off.. NY weather = grrr.. from snowing to summer heat, no inbetween (see, we're never happy, lol ). Glad for...

Stopped at a house and bought a couple bikes ( girls Huffy and a Free Agent BMX ), Lady says she had another bike she did not put out because the wheel is bent. Asked to see it, and she rolls this out. Original Ukai Z2 rims are very slightly tweaked, could be trued, on '42 81' ACS hubs. Hutch...

Maybe this should be in fresh finds, but figured the BMX guys would appreciate it more. Stopped at a house and bought a couple bikes ( girls Huffy and a Free Agent BMX ), Lady says she had another bike she did not put out because the wheel is bent. Asked to see it, and she rolls this out...

Love it !!!!! Great lines on that, been thinking a muscle bike build with my Raleigh Mountie I picked up last fall, this has me inspired now :)

stole that one :) . looking good now ( and the 65 behind it, too ) .

Jaxon, Is the rim you need the normal 24x1.75 tapered side middleweight rim ? I probably have a rim, doubt I have one laced to a 5 speed hub. is it a 333 hub ?

Great save. Be sure to buy him a beer ( or Dr Pepper ). ALways makes me sad that bikes get crushed, around here nothing can come out of the scrapyard or the dump after it goes in :(, they actually have armed guards at the county dump to keep ppl from stealing trash , go figure....

Looking good :) . One of my favorite frame designs. Will be watching .

Whopper, thanks for the link. I do remember that thread, was good to grab the closeup pics for reference. Going to get working on this one, already did 75% teardown to access needs and condition. Spring is my big 'flip bike' season, which is how I support the collection :), so less time for my...

EagleEye, Thanks for the info. I knew about the Bronco sissy, but did not realise the setas could also be Bronco, so will keep lookout ( I think Jaxon said he had a seat ,so will help lots :). White stipe block peds would be easier to find, same as a 24" 68-9 Spyder (that's what my 68...

Not been active in the hobby much lately, job issues, life issues, health, death of close bike bud Steve Rent (Trailhopper on here ). on and on. Did, however, make it out yesterday to the semiannual Carlisle auto swap meet with my Dad and a friend, all with minimal cashflow, lol.. just to...

Crash, What sort of prep do these need beforehand ? or is the price quote inclusive of stripping as well ? (ps: got your PM, have to get with you again, sorry for the major delays, lol ). Also, what type of chrome job are they doing on these, if you know ? flash chrome like original...

Ditto - looks killer :) I've only tried a couple times and found buildoff timeframes too much for me, way to many interuptions and other bikes coming and going, etc. Kudos for all the guys who do it time after time. Still , bottom line is, any excuse to build a bike is good, even a few...

The MK1 has the normal 2 piece bars / stem . MkII were supposed to be 'safer' ( won't slip forward sending rider over the bars.), but I find them small and uncomfortably close to the rider. The general understanding is with the crossover bikes, some MK1 had the MKII bars or pedals, and some...
