    Bikeman taught me a ton, him and RJ The Bike Guy. Bikeman is a bruiser. RJ is a finesse dude. They both have their place. Can't thank them enough.

    70's Huffy cruiser

    No, I replaced the original Wald 21.1 stem. It was bent. The hubs are presumably original, the owner's name is engraved on the rims & frame. The front hub is a Mark 80. The rear is a Sachs Jet coaster.

    70's Huffy cruiser

    lol. Same bike. Now I believe it may be a 1967. It would be nice to know for sure, as I am a data guy. Probably call Huffy again and ask... again. Last time they said the serial number I had was incorrect. Looks legible to me. Again...I'm a data guy, I need data. lol.

    Boiled linseed oil on chrome

    Will BLO stick to chrome fenders? I am working on a early 60"s Hawthorn women's cruiser a friend got for her 11th B Day. Gonna clean it, but try to keep the rusty patina.

    Should I build a bike or buy?

    Don't forget about BikemanforU on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/BikemanforU/featured While he is a bruiser, he is very helpful. RJ is a finesse guy. Sheldon... what cannot be found on his site? Bikeman comes from a different place, 40 years of owning a bike shop. Whatever it takes, he...

    Seat Post Size Question ...

    Thank you, Sir. I just wish I could take credit for the idea. Like all my best cycle work-arounds, the original idea came from an experienced gentleman here on RRB forums. If I could remember who it was, he would get full credit for sure. I am just glad I could pass it on. Thanks to everyone...

    Seat Post Size Question ...

    I had the same problem with my 74 Huffy Easy Going cruiser. 13/16 was too small and 7/8 was too big. I tried the 13/16 - 7/8 shim and( while it did fit well ), the steel 13/ 16 post bent the first time out. So... I purchased a 7/8" 6061 aluminum solid rod. Took a sharp rat tail file to the...
