Today I centered the hub on one of the rear wheels that I have for this bike. This particular wheel was previously set up with a 6-speed freewheel, and will be a single speed. This one is an Araya 7x 26x1.75 with Suzue low flange. Appears to be sealed bearing. Still need to polish it up a...

My lightly used Nexus-4 works like that. But the Nexus-3 that I have has seen far more use and pressure seems lighter and is quicker to lock up.

In the U.S. they're marketed as girls/womens bikes. I guess because they usually need a lower standover height.

Rat-tacular!

I just use the standard blunt edge tools(1/4 or 3/8 socket extension, long hex drive allen, drift pin, even a wood dowel or small pipe on the bb cups) to knock them out. But I work my way around a little at a time going to the opposite side of whichever part is coming loose a little. Then use...

It's just now about to be in the suggested temp range for painting around here. So I might have to see if I can throw one more in the mix.

You should probably at least post a pic so people would have a better idea of what you're talking about. But I've seen at least an entry or two that were complete bikes that just needed some spit-n-polish.

I don't have this parts bike here at the moment, and don't know how the sprockets are attached on this crank. But I'm hoping I can separate the big wheel and flip it backwards to get close on chain alignment.

Mocked the bike up with 700c fork this morning. This oldschool frame has a lot of rake built in for a nice long wheelbase. Looks like there might not be enough thread on the steerer. But this is the tallest 1" fork I have, for pedal clearance. I have steel 3-piece crank in 150? I think. Which...

Nice looking lugged frame.

Ha! Yeah those bikes aren't fixies yet. Although that rusty one might've become one on it's own without me knowing.

Oh.... by the way... The bike looks great!

I was at the thrift store yesterday, and they had a couple of pieces of old school super duty soft side luggage for three or four dollars made out of extra extra heavy naugahyde. Could have probably covered six or eight bike seats with one of them, but it was a medium tan color. The other had a...

All my motocross bikes had a skinnier nobby in the front than in the back, and a banana seat of sorts...so I'll be thinking along those lines with my "muscle bike" builds. Doubt any apes will find their way onto any of them though.

Sweet, sweet, sweet lookin frame!

Nah. I's just jokin:D

Mercier?

Thank you! Maybe an imitation? The new look will start forming soon.

Maybe a u-turn is in order:bigsmile: ....pedals look good though
