What's the name of the band?

I'll be riding on the Elroy-Sparta trail this summer. The EST is the original Rail Trail and was built in the mid 60's Has three tunnels, the longest being 3/4 of a mile.

I've used the 3n1 with steel wool before and it did well on the light rust but fell short on some of the heavier portions.

Too late.... :lol:

So like 00 or is that too course. Also, how thick should I layer this stuff on?

Good to know. Will give it a shot when I start the front wheel tomorrow. Thanks for tip.

It won't dry out?

Solved my own problem. Applied it with a toothbrush and scrubbed real well, then rubbed with 0000 steel wool. only took a few minutes to get a set of handlebars all nice and shiney. Now to finish em off with some wadding cloth.

I see a lot of guys recommending naval jelly here so I gave it a try. I brushed it on a washed it off 15 minutes later like the directions on the jar but it I got no results. How do you folks use it?

did you see this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-Huffy-Built-Ba ... 51970d45a6 i'm not into the muscle bikes, so i may be way off. if it was mine, i'd put it on cl for $125, and hope it brought between 80-125. hope that offers any help. good luck. Looks like got a decent deal. I'll probably...

Any idea on value? (perceived or actual) :mrgreen:

From what I can find most of the Belknap bikes were built by Huffy. The chrome points on the rails also match up to other Huffys.

Found a set on amazon for $3. Will get some lined housing. I'm clever but for $3 I'll save what few brain cells I have left. :mrgreen:

Good to know. Any pics you know of re: installation?

On both sides?

Did a quick search and didn't find anything here and have searched a bit on the interwebs but can't seem to find anything. Anyone know of a good place to get cables and clamps for a Sturmey Archer S5 (1966) hub?

She still has a little rust under the fenders but other than that she cleaned up nice. Will need to find some original bolts in the spring but other than that she is in good shape.

It does have a rear slick.

I'm not sure that is the original shifter. I can only find it used as early as 83 on the Sturmey Heritage page. Time for more research.

This was a Craiglist find and my daughter can't wait until she is tall enough to ride it. T Bird 1 by The Real LittleG, on Flickr
