Not ratty enough? Oh it will be!

Yeah, I don't think it's been used much at all. My girlfriend's going to be happy to get it ride-able. Now if I can only get the damn seat to sit still that I want to put on... Then we'll be off an running.

Yeah I thought of that but I don't have the round rails on this seat. It's a bit older and it's got those wider rails with the wider clamps: And it turns out they're all stripped: I don't have a welder, so I'll have to replace the wide clamps. However, after a quick internet...

Maybe I'll try using the grabbers from a crappy seat I have lying around. Just not sure if they'll fit properly. Any other ideas?

This is the bike my girlfriend had been calling her "granny bike". It had been in her family's shed for years. I finally got a chance to take a look and it's pretty damn sweet. Just brought it home and plan to do a bit of clean up... get a seat, etc. It's a 3-speed CCM Galaxie Any...

I posted this in another thread, but it was a bit off topic. Recently I took off my bike seat to clean it up and stop some squeaking. My problem now is that since I have loosened the seat from the post it won't stay put no matter what I do. I ride the bike for 5 minutes and it gets loose...

I had a similar squeaky seat problem. After I went and took it off the bike and cleaned it up, it was much better. My problem is now that I have loosed the seat from the post it won't stay put. I ride the bike for 5 minutes and I'm sliding back onto the tire or forward onto the bar. No amount...

I really like that one! What filter did you use to get that effect? Or did you draw over the original photo with a new layer?

I was just thinking about the Photo Contest and it made me wonder - What defines a Rat? Obviously there are a few key elements we think of when we use the term 'Rat Rod'. Is it the paint? The parts? The age?

Now if only CT would sell a 3-speed!

Look familiar.... :D :D

Yup, that's the one I would get. But with tax and customs it would be more lke $300 after all is said and done. The nexus hub and wheels/tires alone are worth it... and then just have fun with the rest of the bike.

I'd love to try out the goose, but can't make it on saturday. Do you have a mailing list for the montreal freak bikes?

Re: 3 speeds Yeah, they have a whole set with tires and some handlebars included for $175. That's a bike waiting to happen right there. Tempting.

I love the Goose. It's going to be the inspiration for my next bike.

By the way, if anyone is following this thread and also looking for a 3-speed hub, etc... You can buy an ENTIRE BIKE with a 3-speed sturmey archer hub at Walmart (US-only I think) for $119 which is the same price or cheaper than getting a nexus hub wheel, or some of these other options. Check...

How did you do the graphics?

Yeah, I've researched just about everything and I'm still not sure what route I'm going to take. By the time I figure this out and get the wheels/tires the season will be over and my girlfriend will still be ride-less. I'm thinking of just sucking it up and making a new 26" wheel with the...

It looks great, but I actually preferred the ape/whitewall version. That's just my personal preferrence however. Overall, great job!

Thanks for your responses. I'm pretty much set with my gum-wall solution at this point. I've got one more question for you tire-savvy guys.... Is there a place online to get 26" wheels with 3-speed hubs already built in? Like one of those nexus hubs? What can I expect to pay? When I...
