I love this as a workbench! I have had this metal ironing board for like ten years... It has been my trusty work bench for everything. Painting, grinding, welding, cutting etc. It's great cause it folds flat, is height adjustable, and is portable too...;) october

It's a case by case decision... Really depends on the bike. That being said, I have painted bikes with patina, that everyone said not to.o_O oct.

I just saw that horn on eBay for $225?!:eek:

What's the best way to straighten this? Will it be safe to ride after its bent back?

I've seen the 2x4 used to re space rear dropouts, but not on a front fork...

Found my old DX fork in a parts box... Does this look bent? october

I got some skinny vinyl masking tape, and masked out some darts on my frame. The front will be an antique white with a red pinstripe. So first I paint the red, then when that's dry, I will mask where the stripe will be, and then paint the white... My problem is I get impatient and mask...

Let's see how this one goes first... Then we can negotiate;) This is my first brooks... Anyone break one in before?

My saddle came yesterday, a brooks b17 honey... I put it on my fixed gear, which is on a trainer, to break it in until its time to put it on the heavy duti...

Thanks Steve!

Well, It's been super cold here, so I haven't been able to do any painting... I ordered a saddle and a threadless stem adapter... Still need: Seat post (black?) Mx bars (black or silver?) Sprocket (black or red?, # of teeth?) And my hardest decision, tires... (Nevegals, k-rads, small...

Not sure if you've ridden it much, but how are you liking the small block 8's? oct

I have a bendix RB2 hub that I dissasembled, and cleaned... I did a dry reassembly to make sure everything was in place before I grease it up. When I turn the cog to drive the hub there is a fair amount of resistance, ie: doesn't turn very good. Fighting against resistance. If I back off the...

Primed and painted the fork... Not clear coated yet

I've seen a shovel used as a seat pan...

Does this fit into the scratch built guidelines?

I used a paint stripper... This is what I used, I found it at Lowe's... It's nasty, wear gloves and eye protection. It will burn you. Protect the area where you are spraying it. It will dissolve plastic. After the allotted time, the paint will wrinkle up and in some cases fall right off...

Paint stripped off the fork, eyelets removed... Here is a comparison:

Trying to decide on tires... Originally I had planned for this to be a trail bike, and was going to go with the kenda nevegal 2.35's. Now I'm wondering if I should go with something a little more multi purpose. I have the maxxis holy rollers on the DX, and like them, but wanted to try...

Yes! I use something similar... Except mine is clamped onto a cinder block...;) Another tip: Use an old quill stem in the seat tube as a handle... It gives you a good way to flip the frame, move it around, etc... oct
