I would go for the "A&W Rootbeer Float", sounds awesome You'll need this: http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/can ... tem/rf-614 :)

Cheers, BoLiles Wrapping the bars is actually pretty easy, it just takes a bit of patience and the ability to withstand hand cramps. I knew I should have taken pictures as I went so you'll have to bare with me. You'll need hemp twine (or equivalent), double sided tape, bar end plugs (or...

I would switch to a 36 tooth bmx front sprocket, that would make a lot of difference

Man, that kinda stuff drives me nuts... All those great bikes going to waste. How can people call themselves 'collectors' when they leave everything outside to rust away to nothing. It would be better to have each bike in someone's back yard where they would at least get some use once in a...

Thanks again for the great comments guys. Got a set of white tires on the way and I'll post more pics after I install them (when it stops raining here, that is).

Great looking Schwinn, nicely done :)

I definitely need one of those. Really clean looking bike, a classic !

I am going to build a replacement shifter for my Shimano Nexus 4 speed hub and I was wondering if anyone out happens to know how far the cable travels for each gear shift? I tried a couple of the 3/5 speed shifters I have kicking around but the hub always seems to be out of adjustment and I...

Got mine last week. Great photos, cool book. Glad to see ChopperOlli got to show some for his work.

Cool, I'll bite then. Toronto, Ontario :)

Another amazing build!

Thanks for all of the great comments, it means a lot to me coming from the guys on this site! I wanted a light and reliable bike to get around town but wanted the classic look of an old racer and I think it worked :) Thanks for all of the great tire links too, very much appreciated...

Man, I love that frame! I would strip all of the cables and rack and turn it into a fixie just to show the paint off.

Does anyone know of a good source for white or cream 700c x 25 tires? Been trying to find a pair for this bike... Cheers.

A few years ago I bought a copy of 'The Bicycle' by Gilbert King and in it found my dream bike, an 1890's 'Zimmy' racer. I particularly love the paint scheme and the clean lines of the bike. http://books.google.ca/books?id=DofSxFG ... t&resnum=1 About Arthur A Zimmerman...

They can get nasty. I find that a nice big table to spread all of the parts out, plenty of light and an enlarged copy of the schematics helps. Oh, and not to forget alternating coffee and beer throughout the process is essential... :)

I think a lot of the rolling resistance depends on the rubber compound and the air pressure in the tire. I have been through a few different brands of slicks on my 'urban' mountain bike before I found a good, quick setup. I am currently running a set of Specialized Fatboy 26 x 1.25 @ 100 psi...

The bike looks amazing by the way :)
