I finally got around to some mock up today. I started with a triple clamp chopper fork and I just wasn't feeling the love. As low as I could drop the front end it still sat too high in the front. The Electra forks can only be dropped so far due to the mock seal/wiper on the legs. You don't...

Why has he not run for political office yet? Back in the mid 90's Ted did a week long show on Z Rock (a nationwide satellite rock station out of Texas) and it was some of the most entertaining and straight to the point talk radio ever on the air. A right wing conservative icon from an...

Bikeworldusa.com sells the Electra struts, they come in two sizes (I believe 21" and 23"). Drop Debbie an email and see what she has in stock. 62H

Chainy, That's looking sweet. I really like the stance and the spoke pattern on those wheels.

Love the apes, a major improvement. That bike was a nice find. I think you should buy your 4 year old their own camera, nice work.

So I get my head back into this build and head down to the shop, only to find that the headset I bought turns out to be 1 1/8", not 1" (despite the box it was in from the LBS). I figure, no big deal, just go exchange it Monday, but test fitting some 1" cups I have laying around I see this...

Firewalker, You probably have enough problems already...

Obtained from the original owner, who is now in her 50's. I believe it is all original. I have the front fender, which is not in the pic. It is in pretty good shape, but I cracked the cover on the seat by accident.

I picked this up from my 80 something year old neighbor a few weeks ago, but I just got around to taking some pix. The hub is a red band Bendix, marked "Automatic". I believe that makes it a 2 speed, anyone able to confirm that? I am interested in determining the year of this...

My enthusiasm for the rest of this build is in the crapper. I have been out of town for the last 2 weeks on a work assignment. This morning I get the dreaded lecture from my wife (who this bike is supposed to be for) about "too many bikes in the basement, just get rid of them, you only need...

OK. I guess I'll have to use your build as inspiration to actually do something with the freame we have here. Cool build.

Jimbo, I have that chainguard and live in NY. If you want it, just PM me your address. I will be back home tomorrow. Scott

STEP AWAY FROM THE RECIPROCATING SAW! How much too short is it? What type of fork is it? Two solutions come to mind depending on your answer(s): A. replace or modify the steerer with a longer one 2. use a different headset with less stack height I am not a fan of head tube...

It was excellent. When is the next installment airing?

It's like Popeye meets Howie Mandel meets Benny Hill.

I don't think there will be any mock up pics before next weekend. I am out of town again this week for work. It was good fortune that the trip is near a town with my favorite race collectable shop, which is where I found all the stickers and decals. I had hoped to get the headset in...

I have no idea myself, but it seems the drop outs on the fork should hold a clue. I have never seen closed ends like that before. Are they common on pre- war/ skip tooth vintage forks? Cool stuff Chainy.

Wow, I guess the tires are sort of popular. LOL They are Bontrager Hank tires, 26x2.2. They are a dual compound tread design, harder in the middle for durability and softer on the edges for grip. They roll fast (rated for 80 psi) and are super quiet. The label and white lettering is...

I've been shoppin' Decals and stickers Headset Here is the wheel/tire combo The fork Grips from a friend in Michigan :-) That's all for now.
