    The Ever Changing Behaviors

    Fender Fitting a Prewar Huffman

    I have a side project going with @melancholera while we build up their first full "Rat" from frame up. The front fender isn't an issue, where we're using a Matching fork and fender up front from CWC but the rear I feel may not be as .. fluid looking in its attachment. The frame is a '41...

    When Cutting Down a Fork for Smaller

    I have a ladies CWC Springer. 7-1/2? To the 5" a men's is. My question is this, how are you modifying the rods to match the new cutdown height of the steer tube? Are you cutting the rods down and re-threading those, too? Fz

    Steering a Vintage Bicycle a Fun way

    This photo has surfaced a few times in the last decade or so. I can't help but to admire it every time it does. Who wants to get on the bandwagon for making THESE?: Perhaps not always Wood ones, as the cost would be the New Custom Part price,. But maybe something made from rolled tubing with...

    Butterfly Bars (Sears Screamer)

    What do crusty ones typically go for? I dont want a show piece and I dont really know the market for these. Usable, but with some rusty edge. Erin
