    Selling and shipping wheels

    Hi. I’m looking for advice on selling and shipping wheels. I have a very nice set of painted 1950’s Perry 24” wheels with really nice snake belly tires. The paint is bubbled off in places but the wheels spin without the slightest wobble. Very straight and smooth. The tires are old but they’ve...

    Monark girl’s head shroud

    I hope someone in this group who has already done this will chime in: I have a girl’s head tube shroud that was in rough condition, so I cut off the point and trimmed the end to see if it could be made to fit a mens bike. Only problem is I don’t have a mens tank monark. It doesn’t fit my...

I must belong to about 6 sites and it seems like fewer and fewer people are building/fixing bikes today. I thought maybe the shutdown would get more people back into the scene but so...

    drop forged forks?

    I have what I have heard refered to as a "drop forged" springer fork that I hope to bring back to life. I can't find much info about these "iron" forks. Does anyone have a link that explains about these forks? Are they just a better quality steel? Can they be welded and/or heated to straighten...

    Greeting from Detroit

    Hello group and thanks for having me. I became disabled a couple years ago and inexplicably found myself fixing up an old bike I found. I figured it would keep my mind busy and give me something to finally do (after months of doctors and hospital visits then rehab) during the day. Turned out it...
