    Nothing Special, CWC Hiawatha

    Got my chainring sorted. Planning on using this 3 Arrows double chainring setup as a single ring. The large ring is missing every other tooth, so it looks like a skiptooth but is not. I cannot use a skiptooth chain on the Bendix 2spd, but want to retain the look of the skiptooth ring. This will...

    Nothing Special, CWC Hiawatha

    Started pulling it apart. Much less rust than I was expecting in the headset and bottom bracket. The bottom bracket looks so good I may just go one piece cranks on it, but I am wanting to go bmx 3pc cranks for strength, I tend to bend 1pc stuff too easily. Pulled the crown race off so I could...

    Fruita Fat Tire Festival

    Plenty of brew was had! Conditions were near perfect for riding, mostly, kinda cold and windy but the trails were perfect. Not too dusty thanks to the rain thursday morning. Have not ridden San Rafael, farthest west I have been is Moab. Want to get down to Sedona next year for the FTF there in...

    Nothing Special, CWC Hiawatha

    So I have not put a wrench to it yet... been tired from the Fruita trip, literally made my first post from the road. But I figured I would do a photo shoot tonight to document the status and see where I am at with this project! First off, I soaked the stem/steerer tube with 3in1 oil for a...

    Cut, chop, shuffle, let's see what happens!

    Glad you decided to do your first build off! My first was this past winter and now I am addicted... good luck! Off topic, but what is that rigid orange Specialized in the background? Looks bmx-ey, Fatboy? keep the rubber side down!

    FINK 49

    Looks killer, but is there any way to shorten all three, steerer and both legs to get the upper crown lower and not have to space it up so high? I am unfamiliar with that fork and its construction, but think it would make the whole assembly much cleaner! Like the direction so far! keep the...

    Bike with no name

    Beautiful! Does look Murray from the chainring, old Elgin is a good guess. Any remnants of a headbadge shape in the old paint and patina? keep the rubber side down!

    "Trot Rot"

    This should be interesting! keep the rubber side down!

    Silver Lining

    Looks like you have somewhat horizontal dropouts which should allow some chain tension adjustment for running single speed style with the internal hub. keep the rubber side down!

    Fruita Fat Tire Festival

    Was a great trip! Fun to ride with a couple great friends, on some sweet trails. I unfortunately did not race the Higgins in the klunker crit, was busy at our booth in the afternoon. But I did ride some trails that have been on my bucket list for some time, and we did fairly well at the...

    Nothing Special, CWC Hiawatha

    Got this frame/fork/fender set out of the Denver Old Bikes Club spring swap free pile at the end of the swap! Bars are welded to stem, so that will be tossed. Hopefully I can get the stem out of the steerer with minimal effort. Will be attempting to remove the red spray bomb paint job, try and...
