Re: Juggernaut the build continues Well… it was a really nice weekend… A week or so ago… I picked up a new set of tires… Thought they might look good on the old Juggernaut… So I’m giving them a test run… The red tires sure changed the look… It’s almost amazing what a small change...

myself... i think i would remove the fork from the bike... then place a block of wood on each side of the bend allowing a gap in the center... then use a block of wood on the bend with a hammer... i don't think just sandwiching it in the vice will straighten it... that is an odd bend... granted...

Randy... She’s a keeper... No matter how badly I’d like to use these heavy-duty rims on a ponytail kustom... I just can’t do this to such a fine piece of history… Slick Rick… Heavy is an understatement… I would be safe in saying it is as heavy as some of my fully dressed cruisers… Maybe even...

Rick... That's the easy way... You know me... ponytailmike mike

I agree… After thinking about it all day (while visiting with my parents)… The frame will not be altered!!! If I’m going to screw up anything it will be the forks… I think I will be removing the 1 1/8 inch fork tube and brazing a 1 inch fork tube in its place… This should be a suitable...

Hey all… I don’t usually post much here… But I had to share this story… A couple weeks ago… I was killing some time in an upscale bike store… Looking at and drooling over some new 1500 dollar mountain bikes… The service manager of the store comes over and asks me… SM…“Can I help you???” PTM…...
