It is hard for me to express how much i am happy with finally having it! I even had this long forgotten feeling when i want to ride my bike just for the sake of riding, not for any particular destination. There are surely many details i have forgot to mention, but i will just share a few more...

Hi everyone! It has been a while since i last wrote here :) But the good news are - the bike is finally finished! Little i knew when starting this build a few years ago that it would take me this much. But i am happy with the result, and that's the most important. The bike is getting a lot of...

Hi Camus! Lovely build! Looking forward to see it on Berlin streets ;) Is your old fork for sale? I am looking for a few ones like that.

It have been like half a year since i put the guard on and now i believe the bike finally looks and rides as it should. I still use it as my daily rider most of the days. Since I've last posted it here i have also built a new lamp for it, using a more beaten up looking one. Since original...

So, after more than three years i consider this project finished :) It is crazy how much time it takes, but so it is when you start making bikes professionally. You constantly lack time for your own projects being busy with clients bikes. However, this one is finally done. I have already taken...

You can do all of the things mentioned above.

What you have is a 24" Dlide that is built very much alike 26" Dyno Deuce, another popular bike based on Glide frame. Rather rare model. Nice bike!

Nice and shiny bike! Monark/Huffy built.

Hi! Some progress on '87 Monterey! My friend have laced an 80's Shimano 3CC hub into an '63 Murray rim for me, so i have now an original-ish wheel with period correct drivetrain! So the work continued. Changed out the bottom bracket for the modern one, since the bearing races were shot. By...

In situation like that I'd find someone with a lathe and just take some meat off your EC34 headset to a nice satisfying press fit. Otherwise make an adapter to allow your head tube to take regular modern EC30 headsets. Both of those operations are relatively easy to do on basically any lathe.

Witam, Marcin! This summer i was on my first bike ride from Puck to Hel and i loved it a lot :) Feel free to drop by my workshop in Poznan if you'd be around ;)

I've made my own set of truss rods for CWC fork once. Just bent a stainless rod in my vice and threaded the tips.

It have been four years since I've bought an ebike kit online and two and half years since I've started building a custom frame for it. Boy, i am taking it easy! But now it is time for a big update, and i have been working on the bike a lot in the last two weeks. There is definitely some...

If you cut that beautiful fork you'd need to cut and re-thread the truss rods.

This one got finished and went to a few shows with me by now :) And even starred in a short advertisement movie we made, that i am going to post a bit later! Modern re-upholstered Electra seat, modern stem, Hunt Wilde grips, modern front brakes and bell, modern bow pedals, modern led lamp...

It have been a while since i've started this bike, and all the projects have to be finished one day, don't they? :D I got bored of this beauty collecting dust on my shelf and finished it for a show this August. It is not finally done i believe, since i still want to restore/modify the original...

Hi! I always recommend a rear rack for the better weight distribution. Front rack could slightly impede turning and balance. For the rear rack - orginal Electra ladies rack fits well! Just need to add some spacers on the bottom.

@Spike Spiegel is from Warsaw ;)

I am in Poznań, you're welcome to drop by! If you do so - let me know, we can arrange a cruise and show you around ;)

Not all Basman frames are created equal ;) I talked about it with Mich at Chopperdome back in 2015 and he said best way is to make a cardboard dummy like MattiThundrrr proposed. Different years Basman frames were manufactured slightly different so there is no guarantee same tank would fit all.
