The klunker is cool. I have an old 26" mountain bike similar to your Concorde that I'd like to put some plus 24's on.

I would guess you'd have to take some metal with it to get through the anno. So probably sandpaper.

That's going to look really cool! .....I wonder if the stays will need some extra supports...

One of my favorite builds on this forum.

Following here because I have a fascination with e-bike on a budget. And dig the twin top tube Schwinn frame.

Never.....almost. Of course I don't live in a rainy part of the world. And when it does rain, I don't generally ride as a matter of practice. They just add weight and clutter to a bike, in my opinion. But I have considered half and quarter fenders for style, or the small wide high set plastic...

They had a portable Lincoln TIG welder in a pawn shop for about $300 that I strongly considered for a couple of seconds. But my 220/240v connections are limited. Now I'm looking at the lower end options as something to get started with. I still like the idea of buying a little better used one...

Rustbuster, wd-40, other oils. Diesel fuel and atf might be used here and there. And a six point socket or closed end wrench where applicable. Vise grips if needed where nuts or bolts have rounded off. The most sticky parts I have encountered in my relatively little experience with bicycles...

Yep. It's pedal forward before they had pedal forward.

:39:Gonna hafta git me a cheap 120v wire welder.

Thanks! Po-Boy version of the Sawyer. The esp helps her anticipate sharp objects that may puncture a lesser tire, and make small adjustments to avoid being poked by them? Oh....sorry for the thread diversion.:blush:

Now put the 2.125 on the front and get a 2.5 for the rear!:)

The Avenger is a GREAT looking bike! Chromoly is made thinner and dents easier. I have a couple of these frames. I like that new aluminum steel for lightweight and have a couple of these too. But the bike I have the most money in is a cheap, probably Chinese, unknown steel composition Schwinn...

Dude, did I tell yall how much I like my new high volume 26x2.4 CST Rock Hawk tires with ESP! ? These suckers are super rugged! Really soak up the bumps! Have superior traction! And just generally look like they'd kick arse and take names! I REALLY love them! They are so choice. If you have...

Cool bike. I have an old canti frame, that I'm planning to build a not so accurate jumbo Scrambler replica out of. Really like the somewhat modern(80's up) moto bar bends.

Ideally, I think a tire that wide is best on a rim that measures 30mm+ on the inside. Closer to 35mm is better. But I know that they have been mounted on narrower rims with varying degrees of success. As mentioned above somewhere, a lot will depend on rider weight and the aggression with which...

Eggs-actly. Rules were made to be tested by bending them to the point of stressing and often beyond. Which leads to long threads relating to what is, and what is not, within the scope and intentions of the rules in the first place.

That...is exactly what I would expect a Polish bike to look like. Of course I am not very culturally astute.

Thanks. I certainly will. Yes, I most likely will use that 3-speed on this bike. I plan to have a couple or three wheelsets (with all the same sprocket size. And different tires) that I can swap onto this bike to change it's abilities to whatever terrain I'll be traversing at the time. The...

Thanks for the tutorial! I've had a rim with offset spoke holes before. Will have to double check when I get home, but I believe this particular rim, while having spoke holes that are side specific, does not have spoke holes offset more to one side than the other. And of course with a single...
