The chrome is peeling off in sheets, and the rust is deep and pitted.

Thanks for all the positive comments... I got the fork today, and it will not work with my tires... I bought a 700c fork and the bigger tires fit fine width wise, but they are to tall... I'll need to find a 27" fork. oct

Re: SHOW OFF YOUR FINISHED SCRATCH BUILDS! Thanks!

Re: SHOW OFF YOUR FINISHED SCRATCH BUILDS! Here's one of mine... Frame is completely made from scratch. 20" wheels. october

The best thing to keep a build going, is to have parts arrive every couple of days... The tires came today, cream Schwalbe delta cruisers 700c x 35 (without the reflective stripe) bought some tubes and rim tape on the way home from work. Black shimano coaster brake wired in... Fork is...

This is where I get a little nervous... Taking apart a brand new wheel... Flip/flop hub comes out, coaster hub goes in... Coaster brake is now wired in... Just waiting on some tires, and I ended up ordering a new fork... october

Is it wrong to like the Transition klunker bike? I hardly ever see a production bike I'm interested in, especially cause I have the means to build my own... But when I saw that I thought "I might have to get one of those"... It kind of goes against what I believe in... But... I might have to get...

Found a dura ace crankset in my garage... Took it apart and cleaned it... Reassembled... I don't know if it will line up, or if I'll have chainline issues... I also saw a new sugino crankset online, that I've had my eye on but I don't know if I want to spend the money... Oct

I ordered a 700c wheelset that is Sun CR18's laced to formula hubs. The rear is a fixed/free hub, but I bought a black shimano coaster brake, that I'll have to lace in. With the help of my neighbor and his oxy acetylene torch, I de-brazed some of the cable guides, braze ons, etc. probably...

I've been riding a fixed gear that I built last winter/spring... But I love coaster brakes... I found this vintage road bike at the dump. I am constantly amazed/perplexed at the things people throw away... It's a Falcon, made from Reynolds 531 tubing, it has campagnolo dropouts. The tange...

Thanks!

Spotted this in my travels... ROTA Bell " liberator " NOS for vintage bicycle http://bit.ly/VWws53 oct

Went out for some late night winter riding last night... Still need to strip it down and paint it. It also has a lot of dump parts on it that should be replaced, like the wheels, tires, etc... october

No worries... A friend of mine gave me a second RB2 today, which seems to be complete! There is a dust cover missing from the one I had, that goes on the sprocket side. The one ge gave me has a different brake arm, which leads me to believe it might be a newer hub. I'll probably use the one he...

Hmmm... Mine isn't splined, but has the three divots like most cbs... I took it apart tonight and discovered that one of the brake shoes it broken in half :( Here's what it looks like: So now I need to find another hub, or replacement brake shoes... oct

Ok, I found a bendix 16 tooth cog in my parts bin, Now my question is... Can I use any snapring? Or is it specific to the bendix hub? Can other cogs be used? Thanks october

Here it is for half the cost... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001NGD5E ... ting-goods

I have a bendix red band coaster brake hub I want to refurb, But it doesn't have a cog in it, or the snap ring. If I remember correctly, standard cb cogs won't fit on these... Anyone know what fits these? And do I need a special snap ring? Thanks! oct

The only experience I've had, was with the cheapo low rider ones. On one that I had, the steerer tube became so deformed where the stem wedge was being tightened against it. They just seemed to be cheaply made. I used a pyramid brand one on a bike I sold, that seemed a little better, but I...
