    1950 Columbia, the Big Nuts Bike

    I like it! Good composition, great background and the contrast is right on... But, um, what's the deal with the seat (or lack thereof?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1977 Schwinn Scrambler

    As a wee lad, I got a Stingray JR for my birthday... It wasn't long before I "Scramblered" it out to ride the BMX trails with the rest of my friends! This brings back memories. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    YETI Coolers

    All you've got to do is drink all the beer you've got in your cooler... I don't need my beer sitting in a cooler for three weeks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How does H.P. Snyder "Texas star" sound for the bottom?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does anybody know...

    I agree on the CWC... There are a couple different "tear drop designs" but this one has the small inner and large outer shapes that I think are spot on... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What company used these cranks/chainrings? And what timeframe? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My Dana 3-speed project

    TRM, it isn't as bad as I expected, given all of the horrible reviews. I've only ridden a mile or so around the neighborhood, so we shall see how it holds up on a longer ride (soon I hope!) And yes, if it were "easy" we probably wouldn't be doing this, right?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shortening cables with molded double ends?

    Hey onewheelsqueel, I know this was a year ago, but this is what I just did... http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/My-Dana-3-speed-project.94731/ Seems to work ok!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    lets see those old school / custom shifters.

    Also on a Dana... Replaced the cables with standard shift cables Installed barrel adjusters Fabbed and mounted a stick shift And installed the cables! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My Dana 3-speed project

    Then I went to install my chain... UGH! That ALSO hit the chain stay (perhaps I should have done a test fit before drilling holes in the frame!!!) but what fun would THAT be‽ I went to the LBS to find some kind of chain tensioner. After looking at a few different ideas, I decided on the...

    My Dana 3-speed project

    As smoothly as the project had gone to this point... From here on was nothing but trouble! First, I put the crank arms on and realized the offset on the transmission to the drive side caused the crank arm on the non drive side to hit the chain stay!!! I happened to find some info on another...

    My Dana 3-speed project

    I DID, and was able to talk to the man himself too! He gave me a few pointers on what he would have done if he had it to do over again... I planned on thanking him later in the post but nows as good of a time as any!!! Thanks again to The Renaissance Man, KEMPRACING, Dbubbleguy and CeeBee for...

    My Dana 3-speed project

    Now came the hard part... After quite the brainstorming session I decided a shift lever on the top tube was in order. But what I did next STILL has me a bit shaky... Drill into the perfectly good frame for nut-inserts! I found some down tube style cable adjusters to finish off the shift cable...

    My Dana 3-speed project

    I wanted to change from a grip shift to some kind of "suicide or jockey" shift design. Turns out that the original lead cable ends on the Dana are VERY similar to standard modern shifter cables... So I set them in place, screwed the cover on and they seemed nice and secure. (Note: it may...
