We got around 32 here, I had my Samurai running poorly. After all afternoon trying to get it to run at under 2000 rpm, I found out the carb adapter plates had loosened up just enough to have a nasty vacuum leak. Runs great Now! I can drive to town tomorrow man.

Did you ever find the parts you needed to build this bike? Rob

A new twist, as well as an old plan delayed brought these two beauties together. Actually months ago I looked at a speedometer that I thought personifies this build. Then a bunch of life went sideways and I thought I had lost out on it. Then a week back I ran across something that color wise...

Not much warmer here in Central Illinois, The Bunghole State. Rob

No harm in going for it man!

OK I will check the 6 speed cluster and let you know. I do have a frame I can cut the posts off of for the brakes. I will check the hubs as well. Rob

That is odd, maybe the Webmaster or administrator should look at that?

It is a rat rod, no? I didn't think they were ever "finished"!

I had to put off going to the shed today, I had an emergency vet visit with one of my cats. Going in tomorrow, I have to go to the store and get water. I may have some hubs similar to the ones you want, I will check. Rob

I may have some older steel rims as well, I will check that also.

I sent you a PM on a set of pedals. I can come up with some cantilever blocks off an old frame. I may have a bottle cage, I am not sure. To be clear, you need the cluster that is pre assembled and screws onto the hub, correct? If so I have a few, I know I have a 6 speed cluster that may be what...

If you are not worried about 100% originality you can buy a fork on eBay that would keep that really nice Raleigh intact for around $50 maybe less. Who knows, maybe later you will find an original the right color at a fair price. If the bike is already fish food, that would be a shame. Not only...

There is a thread on The CABE I believe on Oxalic Acid baths for bikes, mostly guys use it to take rust off chrome. I will see if I can find it and send a link.

I will check on the chisel bit in the morning man. Rob

You can get one pretty reasonably at a Harbor Freight if you have one near. Or online at harborfreight.com the flat headed bit I don't know for sure they have. It looks kinda like a hammer head on a stick. My air tool drawer locked itself, I do not know if my bit is in there or another drawer. I...

The large round flat tip should help a lot. Hit it in short bursts and lube it regularly.

I bet man. I have some projects I am wanting to put pumps on. I would be happy if I could get 5 of each then. That's one for each project at this point man. Thanks! Rob

Man, you really put that solution to the test. I have never seen one that bad that I was trying to save! I hope it works out for you man. Do you have a Compressor and an air chisel? They make a bit with a round flat head about the diameter of a quarter. If you hit the back of the bearing cup...

Any idea at all on shipping to Heyworth Illinois 61745? I am interested in one of each, maybe 2 of each if that is possible. Thanks, Rob

Well, here I go again. Another change. I don't usually do change well but this bike is really testing me. I bought a Spaceliner chainguard, the one with the louver slots cut in it. I was going to try it on my wheelie bike and if I liked it I was going to put the Flaming Stack Orange backing on...
