San Antonio Texas Wild Dawgs Bicycle Show is just over a month away!

Here's most of the art and a lot more---same mike in Houston--so if you order a motor from him I'm sure it'll be quite good. http://motor-assisted-bicycling.1062526 ... 99289.html

As I can't start on the Silver Moon till May1 I decided to build the grill for the Cresent racer.This is it bolted together--I'll later replace the bolts with alum. rivets.Now I'm off to frankenBike swap to try and find sprockets for the jack shaft on the silver Moon

Yes a guy in Houston named Mike did an article on rebuilding them sometime back---great motors.I recall he used a rollerskate wheel as a replacement roller.

O.K. made a desision--here's my plan...I'm goint to build a Mochet type two seater velocar I'll call the Silver Moon.(guess what color it'll be)That will be my buildoff plan--it'll be a quad cycle because it's a tandem(wife&me)At the same time I'll start the Cresent Racer a tadpol bodied...

Speed Graphic is a great camera--lookin forward to seeing your build. and thanks The Renaissance Man your correct on all points and was nice to hear.

I'd say braze it--but keep an eye on it.Those forks are stamped steel and not brazed in inserts(fork ends) like on the raleighs.

Ever go to buy a new car and see the shinny new conv.in the showroom but what you really need is a mini-van SUV.That's the way this build off is turning for me---I have plans for a tandem.That's what I really do need--for the wife (or Gkids) to ride with me.but in getting parts I now have almost...

I don't know...but if you start off in the TRADITIONAL if RarRod doesn't like your project he can move it to AG class.So no real need to repaint just get a great idea and start building may1(the part about the great idea is the hard part!!!!) :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like that!

Re: Anything Goes build off 08 previews? Luke,I'll though this out---sick bike parts sells an extra long spindel for 3 piece cranks.It's to allow the pedals to clear their motors but you could use one also to move the cranks out to clear large tires and maybe not have to have a jack shaft.

You'll need to tape the part you don't plan on paint. Then light sand the chrome/wet/dry sandpaper is best---very light just want to dull the shine not put scrashes in the finish.A good primer is also a must.

Re: Anything Goes build off 08 previews? There's a clue in my parts pile pre-view

I'm making a set of tail lights using an 18wheeler 'nut cover" I bought at the truck stop for 75cents each.This is how I made the convex lens for them Scrap red plastic and something to use to mold it.The red mirrow backing plastic piece will go inside Heating the plastic Molding the hot...

Maybe not in BO#8 but will we see that frame with the long Girvins?

For one piece BB , tail pipe comes in the correct size and can be cut to width. for three piece bbs --problem solivers bbs fron http://www.niagaracycle.com/categories/ ... -113-grams

Just be sure to keep it waxed and shined.
