Ah, thanks for the insight!! Definitely makes me more confident in my build, as I'm probably just going to salvage from similar parts bikes.

LOVE this build!! I have nearly the same frame, and I've been sitting on it for years... and this just got my tuchus in gear and made me pull it out. So, I've JUST gotten back to this build, and I cannot find my bottom bracket parts anywhere! Any chance you could offer a suggestion for...

Re: My First Build: 40's Rex gets a motor. Blaarg. Change of plans. Ran into problems with Skiptooth chain and sprockets, and I'm just not technically adept enough to tackle that one, so I decided to press forward with my plans on my Rollfast gasbike build... trekking along... swapped the...

Re: My First Build: 40's Rex gets a motor. Its here...... And tomorrow is my first day off in two weeks. One guess as to what I'll be doing...

Re: My First Build: 40's Rex gets a motor. Man, you said it! If I had the time, It'd tear through the Rollfast build, too!

Re: My First Build: 40's Rex gets a motor. NABBED Though I would have liked a black set, I really just want to get this piece on the road already. (This old car isn't going to last much longer!)

Wellp, its been a long few months since I've had the time to visit this site, or to even sit down with my own projects... but wouldn't you know it, necessity being the mother of invention... my car is on its last leg, and with a commute thats too close to drive and too far to walk (at least, not...

Wow, thanks for the insight!! Now if only I could find tires to fit the Rex! Seems the general consensus on 26x1.375 (599mm) tires is that they just don't exist anymore? I had the feeling the Rollfast was already a frankenstein... now I don't feel so bad about slapping random parts on it for...

Truth be told, I actually grew up/lived in South Bound Brook. Left, did the Brunswick thing, toured (with bands, not with bikes haha), moved around a lot, and found myself back there again for the last few years. But I feel like I was in Somerville all the time. Went to IHS, practically grew...

Thanks Fireproof! I just posted some photos in the gallery of my bikes... or, well... of the piles of parts that will become bikes shortly haha... the Speedster's in there!

Continuing on... here are a few more photos of the Rollfast. You can see someone took a rattlecan to this at some point... slowly and carefully taking it off, since I have no idea what I really want to do with this (other than get it rolling already). (I DO still have the badge for it...

No way!!! I just moved OUT of Bridgewater!!

Hi all! **UPDATE: Unpacked some parts and snapped a few pics on my iphone... see below! I found a few pics on my HD from the day I brought these bikes home. First up is the Rollfast... I'm TOLD its a '36 (or '36 ish?)... but I think it could be frankensteined a bit, perhaps the wheels are...

Hello all! I'll admit it, I've lurked this board in the past, back when I was looking for info on a 24" Schwinn Speedster I got at a yard sale as a broke-... kid which spent the last decade hanging on a hook in my parent's shed... and I've been lurking heavy-duty ever since I pulled a '36...
