The Hanter was a cantilever frame with these style gussets, like that Niitaka and I ran across a girls frame a year or two ago with it as well chained to a tree outside a Wendy's or something but it had a headbadge riveted to it. No headbadge holes in this on, like Laguna. Could be anything...

It's a tricky thing. At current rates that's what, 2-3 times the price of an identically equipped, equal condition survivor? For a bike with that much provenance you can use until you're too old to ride? And be able to roll into any show anywhere and drop a freaking H-bomb on just about anything...

Or a sister bike? The frame definitely appears identical to the imported California Special circa 1986, but those frames I've been able to track down had a solid gusset instead of the more typical Akisu three-hole design (also seen on Hanters, Schwinn Thrashers etc.). Also it was originally...

From Rex's show last summer :)

Not to be a shameless shill, but many Worksman's use a proprietary headset in order to force you to buy it from them (33.5mm ID on the headtube if I recall). If you want to convert to threadless (here's the shill part) you'll have to have someone machine a standard 1 1/8" threadless set down to...

Older build, long since sold (money got tight last summer) so I know it's been seen before, but a fun one nonetheless- '39 DX: And my Jr. High commuter, here about 1981 before it got the Team Schwinn cranks and CBR forks :) That rear hub is a S-A 3-speed with an external 3-speed cluster...

:)

Never say no to a free plug lol. :)

So got my my hotel reservation all squared away for the Fiesta ride and Rex's show for the night of Saturday August 6th (planning to drive home Sunday evening) and have some extra room if anyone was on the fence and needed an excuse to drive a little farther than you might. Supposed to quite the...

Ok kiddies, anything longer than 1" is off the menu. Just too much work for it to be worth it. $20, up to 1" each side, rubber crush is going to be it.

Sadly addictions are an ugly thing. Unless by updates a '77 Competition Scrambler counts. Or the '81 Spitfire 24". Or the NOS '95 ENF that arrived today and the NOS '05 sting that arrives next week. And the '96 1/2 Pro Modified cruiser I'm drooling over for the following week. All good news, but...

Selfishly stepped away from the lathe for a few minutes (thanks to all of you have jumped in on the bar ends, you're financing this :)) to assemble the cage. And holy cajoles, sucker is rigid! expected to have get a little more structure in it- inside corner braces, the wide plats to serve as...

Not yet. Put in the order for the uprights and top cross pieces Friday, so hopefully they'll have those chopped for me tomorrow. So far the butcher's bill stands at about $275 for the basic cage, and I'm figuring it'll take that much again to finish up the back plate and the tube holding...

What's that? Thomson doesn't make bar ends? Why yes, you are correct... but I do. Turned down form brand new stem caps, These are the perfect match to that Thomson cockpit. These are sized for standard 4130 bars (with a centering step about 1mm tall), but I can reduce them for aluminum bars by...

7/8" - 1 1/2" quill style, $35 shipped.

Custom machined bar ends/extensions for your bars. Up to 3/4" total extension per side. Can be sized down to fit thick walled aluminum bars by request. $20 for the first pair, $15 for each additional on the same order. 7/8" OD means they are invisible beaneath closed end grips and completely...

Baby steps. Visited the 80/20 dealer in town to get my jig tossed into AutoCAD (been meaning to learn, but you know how that goes, never got around to it) and while I as there at least picked up what will form the basic chassis of the structure, and some aluminum plate to atget a rough draft...

And THE link of links... though I'm sure everyone here has it tagged, kiddies will find this site after the poxaclypse :) http://www.clunkers.net/index.html

Okey dokey, pretty much done with the rear triangle for now, going to be held up for a bit till I get the fixture built. but here we are. Boil boil, no toil no trouble. Yes, that's a big sheet of paint floating there. It'll do that :) These two are straight out of the soup, sprayed with the...
