Re: New Project Truck- Mono-chrome! A couple very mild days in the last week allowed me to get out and rattle bomb the rest of the truck. The 4-link/air bag parts are on the way. Stay tuned because she is about to drop.

Re: New Project Truck- Running like new! Air bags and the 4-link set-up will be here soon so I needed to tie up some loose ends. I finally finished up the dash. Added the 1-Ball shift knob A little dash art. I am going to cover it with black and white decals until it is full. The...

Make sure the bearing aren't too loose or too tight. What did you use to lubricate the brake discs? I always buff both sides of all the discs with some 1500 grit wet/dry with a little oil.

Post a pic of the chain and we can find the info you need.

You may try taking your guard and the other pics into a sign shop that does vinyl decals. The shop I use is really good at recreating graphics from examples like yours. You can have them make the actual graphic decals or keep the negative space and use it as a stencil.

I was walking through the garage when I spied these Thick Bricks on a bike that I had built up for one ride last summer. The next thing I knew I was swapping wheels on the Flyer. I snapped some more detail pics while I was playing with the camera. ADGE leather saddle My security...

I have considered it. I want to put some miles on it before I decide on the drivetrain.

Here she is with the panniers mounted. Now if it would just get a little warmer. :( :(

I say you should give it a shot at least! There are several threads on here explaining how to and lots of good videos on YouTube.

I am restoring an identical '86 DB.

That is my plan. Probably should get myself a brain bucket.

I have only done one restoration and I will not be doing another one. 1934 Rollfast Ballooner. It only lived complete for about two weeks before I parted it out and sold off a bunch of parts, others were used on other bikes and the frame set is on display in the living room. Before After

Re: '76 Varsity Commuter Got some better pics this morning. It was a brisk 15° when I was taking them so I didn't take more. I would like to find some decent panniers for a good price. The aluminum brakes shined up nice. "Valley Cyclery, Auburn Wash" The bike and most of the parts...

Re: '76 Varsity Commuter My red wall tires and bar wrap came in today.I got out in the garage and got everything installed on the bike. It is ready to ride as soon as the 14" of snow melts off. I have also polished the original aluminum brakes and reinstalled them. They are connected to the...

You need a #23 bearing. If you can't find one you can replace it with loose bearings. Just use the same diameter balls and fill the cup minus one ball. Here is a link to a list I found of bearing IDs. http://www.fattiretrading.com/bearings.html
