Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem Frame to bare metal. Might go another direction.

I would be inclined to agree. Someone put quite a bit of time into this and I certainly needed the laugh after the emotional past few days.

I have my '37 Colson listed locally on craigslist and got this email tonight. I don't know if they are trying to make me laugh or scam me some how but I just had to share.

Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem Back in town after the family business has been dealt with. I will continue where I left off last Friday tomorrow. One lesson I had forgotten before I began and the bike was kind enough to remind me of- When using a wire brush on the grinder to remove 75 year old...

It isn't exactly the same, but pay attention to how the parts come out and their orientation. It should be close enough to figure out. Most newer coaster brake hubs- Suntour, Shimano, Hi-Stop, etc use a design based closely on the Bendix Red Band family.

Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem The front has an ecliptic mount to allow to tightening of the front chain. The badge is actually a decal, same as was originally used. I ordered doubles of all the decals because I knew I would be doing it over eventually.

Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem Been up since 4pm yesterday. My mom called this morning to tell me that my grandmother had passed on peacefully in her sleep over night last night. Worked on the bike most of the day to keep my mind off of it. Exhausted but I wanted to log today's progress. Began...

Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem Here is where the journey begins! There are several tabs on the bike that will be removed. Fork Seat stays Chain stays A NOS Atom drum brake hub will find a home in the rear wheel. The hub is marked BSA, must be destiny! I am reusing the bikes...

Re: Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem I have tried several times to sell it to save it from me, but since nobody wanted to try and save it... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I haven't built a Klunker yet and I am leaning in that direction with my BSA tandem. viewtopic.php?f=75&t=72130&start=0

I have never had a mag with a Bendix to play with, but I am willing to bet they are the same or at least similar enough to figure out. What does your brake arm say? I have a NOS rebuild kit for the Bendix 76 and 86 series hubs. It contains everything except the brake arm and the hub shell. I...

Rare Bird- '37 BSA Tandem- Please take yourto jump in or not, but here goes. I have nothing new to build so I decided to give my tandem a facelift. It is one of two known examples of this bike on this side of the pond. Rarity means little to me so it is fair game. I haven't built a Klunker yet...

Following the build. Let me know if you need anything!

Re: New Project Truck- Dropped! Thanks! It depends on where I have the pressure set. It ranges from spongy to super stiff. Rides really nice with 75psi up front and 100psi out back.

Re: New Project Truck- Dropped! I took a few pics after dropping the kiddos off at school this morning. Enjoy! Quite the change since I trailered her home on 6/1/12

Re: New Project Truck- Suspension Upgrade Weekend My 3 day suspension upgrade ended up taking 10 days and 53 man-hours but it is done. The goods Up Dropped! I will take a full barrage of photos tomorrow and I have a pro shoot set up as part of a bike deal.

Finishing the truck made me late and I lost my usual spot. I had a great time even though I had to make myself be a seller and not a buyer. Looked like most people were getting great deals. I had a great time and sold most of what I took out so momma was happy too! Thanks for another great year...
