    Nice finds. Is that a street rod project in the background?

    Coaster brake hub modifying?

    :shock: Is this an April fools joke? If so, you're a little late. Just kidding!

    for the tires

    It seems strange to me that the cheap bikes , like Murrays evidently came with Carlisle tires. That's where I've found all the ones that I have. :?

    for the tires

    I've found several sets of them over the past couple of years.I had one of them began to separate . I'm a big guy so I usually inflate bike tires to the max pressure listed on the tire , but I'm going to be careful with these old tires from now on. :oops:

    No, Brett I was not there last year. I didn't know about the event last year. Did everyone behave themselves last year? I don't want to invite family and friends and be embarrassed. I know no alcohol is sold at the event , but some BYOB.

    my first tandem

    Thanks. As you can see I'm missing the idler roller for the chain. I've already looked at one on Ebay. I think it was $30. I might have more invested in the bike than it's worth before I get it together. We'll see. I could always let someone else have the frame to fix a rusty or bent tandem...

    my first tandem

    I bought this May, 1974 Schwinn tandem frame today at the Autofair at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. I'll try to come up with all the parts to complete it. Any tips and/or suggestions are welcomed.

    Brett, are you coming to the nostalgia drags at Shadyside Dragway? I plan to be there too. What kind of car or truck will you be in? I'll be driving my 1940 Chevy sedan. Let's try to hook up if we're talking about the same event. Anybody else on here going to be there? A flier can be seen @...

    Born Again Bikes - Community Ministry

    God bless you Brett. I'm in the western end of NC., 12 miles from exit 113 on I-40 actually. I have a local source for little bikes that would keep a couple of people busy fixing them all.Maybe I could bring a load eastward from time to time and meet you halfway or something. Keep it in mind. I...

    rat rod material

    I realized that I already had a bike like this one in my pile. I dug it out. Then on Monday I found #3. The frame on old #1 appears to have been chrome ( or nickel?) plated.
