selling my pieced together Huffy rail with top fueler fork setup. Bike is unfinished (needs a chain, shifter cable, and the rear wheel might need rebuilt). normal wear and tear/scratches on a bike this age. I can ship at additional cost through bikeflights.(most likely $100-$150 addt). I'm...

restomod 24" krate style from a 52 dx frame I built

thanks! it was a lot of fun to build

And I think she's done! Had one of the top tube decals come off a bit on the way to take these pics ( maybe someone knows of a way to better protect them once they are on the frame) but other than that I'm really happy with it! I"m a photographer by trade so it was fun to photograph something...

back from powder coating, turned out great! Just gonna add some decals, put the chain guard on, rune the brake line, tune it up and I think it's finished!

tried it, with 2 different seat posts at 20.7, doesn't fit, too small

right, thats my problem though- can't seem to find any 21.1mm seatposts out there. Are they not a very common size or am I just looking in the wrong places?

isn't 13/16" the same as 20,7mm though, which would be too small?

I swear I'm losing my marbles, can someone please tell me what size seatpost a huffy rail takes? I know its not 22mm and it doesn't seem to be 20.7mm either. Is it something like 21.15mm? If so, where the heck can I get one!

I thought about it, it does look pretty good as is, but I really like the orange color it’s getting painted as

all set, gotta break it down for powdercoating now!

no, Ill snap a pic the next time I'm at the workshop. took a bit to figure out since there isn't any kind of a brake bridge. saw a video where a builder used a cantilever shoe eyebolt to thread through the fender bridge. Found one on amazon for a couple of bucks and it did the trick.

looking for a huffy 5 speed control console, hit me up if you wanna sell!

a little more progress! Waiting on a seatpost clamp and a different seatpost (this one is sized for an original schwinn seat clamp I think, way too small for this reproduction seat.). Think I'm going to go with a slightly larger sissybar too. Figured out a way to mount a brake through the...

little by little its getting there! was able to get ahold of an old spitfire chainguard that fit, as well as a really really nice 5 speed stik shifter. took the front fender off of my sears spyder 5 speed for mock up and threw a back fender and seat and seatpost on to see for placement...

got the additional threads added to the front fork along with the cut to fit spacer for the headset. generic front wheel is on with a brick pattern tire. thinking I might re lace a drum hub on there eventually. Coming together!

A little more work on it this week. Was able to get a hold of a 24" jerald sulky slick tire that looks like it will work out great. Also mocked up the front 26" springer fork, gonna have to add some threads to it to get it to fit properly and then a good sized spacer.

Rolling on my first build since I was a kid, this is way too much fun! Wanted to build a 24" krate adjacent" style bike. Started with a 52' schwinn DX style frame and added an S2 rim that I laced up with a shimano nexus 3 speed hub. next up should be the 26" springer frontend , a 24" slick...

thanks guys for the replies! I guess my goal is to make a 24" krate style bike so definitely leaning towards a 5 speed. The area at the headtube where it meets the downtube and toptube is curved, is that an indication that it was made using electroforging?

so I'm starting on my first build, I have a 52 schwinn dx frame that I would like to add a 3 or 5 speed to. right now the hub spacing between the dropouts is 110mm. Is it possible to cold set the frame to fit something like a 5 speed, which from what i'm reading has a hub spacing closer to...
