I decided its finished now -finished picture in thread starter post- The main reason I built it was to use up some of the random parts I had laying around, wich I did and love the look. may not be as fancy as other bikes but I love how it came out and am quite happy with it. I may put the odd...

Rear wheel on rollfast was tacoed I changed them though. Rollfast Neat idea for a seat pole for the front person lol thats a clever idea!! Bmx it had foam protectors, I took them off because I wanted them

Pretty sure this is the one http://www.rcoc.co.uk/index.25.jpg

Re: RedTastic -almost finished- Havn't had much time with the bike lately. its also been raining when I do have time and also have to many bikes and im forced to work outside of shop due to that lol. I was actualy thinking of a chainwheel. I may have to buy one online because all you got...

I rthink i tried before and it was a no go. I do have an idea though, I got alot of derailers from the 60's. It wont be hard to make one slightly wider maybe

Any idea what the derailler is supposed to look like that shifts this? lol I know I can get the internal working no problem but as you can see it takes single speed type chain. first one i've seen in person. I had a awesome idea and wanna use this wheel on my banana seat bike ill be making.

I shall look into these options. I know making a frame bare steel rusts very fast in the rain. I may do that actualy. im not in a hurry to build that one so I can let it rust and it could be next years build off maybe

I have one of these things to aswell. a neat piece. I've tried getting rid of the bloody thing for a year and a half now I believe. I gave in and its hanging with some other odd bike stuff now. Though I just had the idea of installing it on my worksman trike. Im not sure if it can handle...

Re: RedTastic Decided to just put the schwinn guard back on since it fit and canadian parts don't like american ones in that way. lol. added two roller bells and two mirrors, a rack and a mudflap. Its almost done. I rode it to work. what a ride, best riding cruiser I've got, the 3 speed...

Whats a faster way to make this happen? after seeing some neat inseration I wanna make a rusty ratrod but old cruiser frames here arnt as common as in the US so I have to force this monark frame I have to rust. Wonder if they have rust effect Spray paint lol. any ideas would be awesome

It most likely is a 1962, I've seen alot of raleighs over the years and alot od stuff on the bike looks like its from that year. The dyno hub may also have a date on it.

Thats a badass bike. I dig that style alot. Now i wanna make myself a rusty awesome bike like this. Great build!

Re: RedTastic Hmm thems some neat ones. I remove that drub wheel, it was causing issues with the arms on the drum and the monark fork. I might just use a coasterbrake wheel on front. maybe just leave it as it is. the rear brake works fairly good. i also have to fix the rear fender still, it...

Re: RedTastic So yeah. Went, bought another can of paint and derped. I never noticed it wasn't same color. but the name was the same. But whatever lol. looks alright... right? Lol Had some random monark stuff laying around and figured why not. Should be named the Schwinark

Re: RedTastic I've been abit busy lately so not much time to play with it, I also hurt my back. I plan on adding fenders for it. So drifter may not be suitable, Ill see anyway.

Lol thats true!

Should see the size of the one that came on one of the worksman tikes I got. Its gotta be the biggest i've ever seen. lol, That bike looks like it would make a decent work beater though. maybe some new higher end tires and youd have problem free bike to ride around to work and back. them older...

You jinxed me! lol Guess what I might be getting. a Tandem! lol

Re: RedTastic So Im thinking about adding a chainguard and Fenders. give it that nice look

If I remember right I used wire cutters to clean my spokes off abit better on my 1939 Raleigh. pretty awesome looking ride though, I got one of those aswell lodged into my shed somewhere lol
