Was out with some friend tonight and found an old Huffy Stana be thinking I might steal the rear wheel off it. At least have cruiser till the right parts come along. Then the problem is what to do with the frame of the Santa Fa.

7spd wheel is much wider then I thought which means I might need to find a 5spd rear. I'm sure I have one somewhere in my stack of junk bike parts. I think I know how to hand the brake issue too. Fun n games

Thanks Horse farmer! Mounting the derailleur that have won't be to hard. I was thinking about having to spread the frame out. I thinking the real issue will be the rear brake . The mounting hole on my frame is vertical on the Schwinn it is horizontal. The adventure is learning how to adopt...

This was probably write about before but I now have some parts to complete my spaceliner,maybe! How hard is to put a seven SPD rear into this frame? What I have is a complete derailure and wheel set so I won't have to rebuild the rear wheel. Also what do you do about brakes? As always thanks...

I have hit a dry spell for finding bikes, haven't found anything worth looking at. I was to the point of being hard up for a bike. Always looking on craigslist, garage sales or roadside walmart never finding anything. This has gone on for a long time. Today I found a Pepsi/Fila promo bike...

Love the looks of the bike. I had to laugh at the name of the bike shop "Brass Monkey Bike Shop" thanks.

That is one nice looking bike! Tells a little more about it?

Yeah the Guv'nor meets the janitor build . What an concept!

I thought I found a good alloy stem in the basement but found I could only fit the straight bars on it. I had some mustache bars I want to use. Perhaps I need to visit fleabag.

Yeah that was my idea too! I just wish the paint that's on the bike was better! I guess I could repaint it but for now let's see where it goes! I could put it together then take it part. I like the rims on the Pashley and also the seat. It seem I have plenty of seats but not so many seat clamps.

Will Luke I hope that it will be worth watching! I did switch the crankset the one in the photo was not the one that came with the bike. The photo one came from a old beat up Flight liner. I also removed the handle bars last night,those bars look to be a set of Wald bmx bars. Still trying to...

Will I just found out that I have been laid off! I was talking to horsefamer about things and he thought it might be good to do build! So why not. I will be limited to parts on hand so I'm starting off with an old three SPD I found. Any suggestions what to do with would be ok. I was going to...

Dittos on the photos of the chain rings photos. The forks are the for a 26 inch bike? I'm not familiar with Felt forks and models.

Purple hmmmm! I'd ride it! I had a pick up truck that I bought 3rd hand that was egg plant color, never gave it a second thought! Drove it another 90000's

Lol I got one those free from a guy down the street. I only had to do one thing that was ride the thing off his property and to my house.

Love the virtue frame set

Yeah 30 miles northwest of Detroit!

Welcome to the group. This group is the most enjoyable bunch of bike builders that I know of.

I think its from the leaves that had fallen in to the river. For as long as I can remember that river was that color. Or it could be form the mineral content from the land. For many years mining iron and copper was a big think in the UP. The area has an interesting labor history, interesting...
