now my biggest issue is to pad and cover the seat or leave it metal?

Thanks man! I just took the skiptooth setup off tonight and put a redband kickback wheel on it with a 7 hole schwinn sprocket. Now I can get up hills without having to stand up and crank my guts out.

Good ole flipped schwinn knee action! This bike was gonna get my shelby shock ease springer but they ended up on one of my colson, all my cruisers have a cool springer on them, thats just how I roll! :lol:

Thanks, I welded a hinge to the top of the seat post and then to the seat pan I made so it has about 1.5 inches of travel on it. It rides really nice, just have to be careful your butt doesn't get hit by the tire

I got bored the other day and took some parts I had laying around and a welder and went to town! Some hammering and cutting lots of swearing and yelling at myself and a couple days latter this badboy rolled out of the doors.

I don't see why it wouldn't fit, I have one on a late 30's hawthorne. As for the headset, might try here or ebay, my buddy has one of these frames and he runs a tioga beartrap2 headset in it ( it's an old school bmx headset ) and yes, they are standard american bottom brackets! Hope this helps ya

but its the hunt for them that I enjoy more, the people I meet and places I get to go!

yes it is!

scored this badboy today..... now what to put it on?

wow, thank you for all that info! I love this bike and ride it everyday when I can. Its gonna be around in my collection for quite some time then!

well just like the title says, vintage bike sale on the 20th. Cruisers, bmx, who knows what else?

Yes, it sure is a 14t some spraypaint on them and the chrome is flaking off the rims but the freecoaster works great on it

I still do have the wheelset! I can take some pics of it in a little bit. its a Nankai Freecoaster in the back, an older one but still with the one piece aluminum shell and a gack front hub with hoffman high roller rims

Thanks! I have done a little work to the bike in the past couple months stuck a tank on there from another project, got a sweetheart sprocket for it and this little gem 1949 post's cereals air speed indicator, and put the siren back on. I also got rid of the womans seat I had on there and put...

Now that is cool! Thank you for finding that

The fenders that came with it ( no holes for a light in the front ) and the numbers

And here it is now

All original, I even have the U.S. chain tires for it I just took them off so I could ride it with out worry of blowing one out

Yeah I hate that white wall but I didnt have another black tire to put on it and I dont want to use the OG US chain tires on it, they are in really good shape but I think Im gonna sell them and use new rubber just for my safety

you know I plan on riding it as soon as I can get a wheel for it!
