High speeds. The front fork is set with positive castor like a bascart so the wheel stays true and straight for stability. The motorcycle is to reduce drag and pull the bike in to it's draft, so they can reach speeds of 60+ mph. I think the record is around 115mph. Bicycle version of the...

I find 5spokes more aesthetically pleasing, as long as they aren't asymmetrical.

As heavy as heavy as some of them are...

I made another faux tank for it. I gotta drill some holes and find some screws to mount it. I cut out some thin mdf, covered it with black tape, glued on thos two ace of spades, covered them with clear Duck packaging tape, then a whole coat or two of gorilla spray glue for water proofing. It's...

This is as far as it had gotten. I had a wider kenda kwest on the back. The state it's in now... Yes I took some of that tire I used for thr rear fender and zip tied it as part of a front fender I put on it.

Might as well show how far it made it. These are what happened to that cool fork.

Now I NEED colored derailures.

I have around ten in my tiny apartment. I want to get down to roughly two of each type. Two cruisers, which currently I only have one, that has to be built, to redo my ratrod, which in memory of the Nel Lusso will be dubbed; Bus Stop. Two MTBs; my 83 High Sierra that I'm trying to keep as...

I picked up this bike to build for my girlfriend and at first it looked like your average 90s walmart bike; ashtabula crank, heavy steel frame, sidepulls, but on further inspection once in the apartment, it has things I don't often see on those old bikes; a 3/7 drivetrain, trigger shifters, and...

I used one for a wallet chain.

I have those same flame tread tires on my high sierra, came off a cranbrook, awesome tires. They handled better than the bmx style tires it originally had on it. I'd put a sealed bb in it to save a future headach. I'm more in to what I call streetfighter style with a rigid fork, street tires and...

Most shimano groups interchange. I usually put trigger shifters on any bike that has gripshifts and whatever 7speed wheel if it lacks it. Most of the trigger shifters(or mtb brifters I sometimes call them) that I get are usually XT, Altus or Tourney, the wheels usually end up being walmart...

This is bad ...! If there was enough room I'd say use a gokart axle and a mid drive hub. I had an old colombia trike that had a peerless gokart axle on it basically. Or like duallies on the back. Still bad ..., though. Bet you'll have the only one made from a real car. Makes me want to build...

I still don't understand the point of gravel bikes, or why another genre must exist, with the slew of choices of offroad bikes existing.

Wiemann rims are like that and other high quality steel rims to increase braking in rain and in general as a rough surface for the brake to grab.

If I recall; a schwinn 26 is closer in size to a 650b or a or standard wheelchair wheel- real close to iso 26 but just slightly bigger. I could be wrong though, but most iso 26" tires won't fit schwinn 26s. You could throw some iso 26 wheels on it, though.

In my searching at the time( that didn't matter because I was converting to 700c anyway) I found I think three other rims besides wiemann that were alloy, and like 8 different tires. I bet you could use 27.5 wheels if the brake calipers have enough adjustment and frame clearance. I have a 27.5...

Good thing you didn't use heat and risk blowing them up.

It took a while, but I had been reimbursed by the bus company. I'm going to be using the money to start over on my DB Drifter1. It's easier to find what I want for a more modern bike, anyway. The frame isn't too bad, it's going to get somewhat finished and put for sale... I hated the rack...

So I want to rehash this. If I can get money from the bus company from my ratrod Nel Lusso(Project black bike thread) falling off the front of the bus; the money is going towards my DB Drifter1 instead(Bigger frame, aluminum, no rack, better bike) instead. The reason I'm rehashing this is...
