Ok, here we go! I've been looking at a couple of projects that have been around regarding "DX" pre war bikes. Mercury sure looked like nice to find, but no. So I had to settle with DX Schwinn I suppose or back in the day Goodrich. I studied these two projects with care and I'm hoping to put...

Hi! starting to build my 1939 DX project now. Here is the frame... One question though. How did you get the rear hub fit? I'm looking to instal Shimano 8 gear hub, but it is about 25mm wider than rear fork???

Thanks! I started looking into the chain ring more carefully and I think it is Electra Ticino Forged Alloy Crankset w/42T with Chainring guard (chainring could be manufactured by FSA). The question remains where did you get the inside (double) chain guard or was it there when you purchased it as...

Amazing bike you have there. Inspired by this piece of work, I started to look for another project (having two at same time :shock: ). I found '39 Schwinn DX and it is on its way. I'd love to have same crankset as you have with the double bash guards. Would you mind giving little more info...

This is my Basman 263 Race. Configured myself and got it few weeks back. Most enjoyable bike on earth; rides like a tank and looks like a dragster. I'm all smiles when I roll out of my carage! 8)

Hi! Ok, here we go. I'm very much to all this stuff, but got this spring bitten by the bug. It has been all about bikes since. Well, this is my first from the scratch project. I chose Centennial Schwinn Phantom frame off the eBay. This is a reproduction frame from 1949 that was built 1994. It...

Hi! I have Electra Straight 8 cruiser, which has the original 24x3" Fatti-O tires and I think 45mm wide wheels. I would like to customize it with wider wheels. I'd like to go 80mm wide wheels. Does your 80mm wide rims fit 24" fatti-O's and do I have to change the spokes and hub as well? If...
