Been a long time since I have posted.... We just relocated to Northern California.... to the east bay of San Fran... since we are in an apartment for a bit I have only really been able to work on LED conversions for my head light and tail light... for the tail I broke apart a flash light from...

where did you pick up the seat post? I have a cranbrook I have been messing with... I like the idea of just recovering the existing saddle... looks great

sounds good I am looking forward to see what you do...

I too have a cranbrook I am messing with... how did you get the seat post mounted that far forward on the seat? I messed around with mine and could not get it to work... has anyone taken it for a ride mounted like that?

so I took it for a .5 mile test ride and the odom clocked it right on... so that seems to work... now just the speed / rpms are not correct... I will pull it apart and see if some lube will help things out...

yes the needle moves in the right direction... it might be just a piece of...

so I got it installed... it seems to work as an odometer... but the MPH / RPH are way way off... it is pegged all the way around to the bottom so I am not sure what that is measuring...the odometer part clocked me at like .4 of a mile when I went up the street and back... I will have to take it...

some photos would be a HUGE help.... thanks

So I have checked the boards here and the net and can't seem to find instruction on how to install the old style speedometer. I am only having issues with the hub part. Are there any good photos out there of how it should go on or an instruction manual? This is a cheap "new" replica style...

good to see the lay back seat post... I was thinking about that for mine... but was not sure how it would look... I might have to pick your brain on how to grease this ride up... I did not check that on mine... is it just the bottom bracket or the hubs also?

Made some progress this weekend... got the fenders clear coated and mounted... cleaned up the $1.04 headlight... I found a 9 LED torch flash light at Micro Center that was $2.99 that I plan to modify into the existing headlight case... got home checked the hole size and it fit perfect with not...

yeah pretty funny stuff... I need to try finding on here local...

I like the horn... I just might have to steal that placement idea... and if you make it back to TX I can let t.u. slide and we can go for a ride....

looking good... no shame if you ask me in respect to a "budget" ride as long as it gets you ridding...

very cool ride...

hummm I have seen new ones that are round but I really like that shape...

So I got the first coat of satin black on the fenders, and two coats on the chain guard... looking better than I thought.... I also grabbed a cool square light on eBay last night for $6.04 with shipping... will try to polish it up but if not it will go black to match the fenders and will...

where did you pick up that non-circle speedometer?

Dana Joe, It is a small world, I will let your horns slide. I was also there the night bonfire fell. I was a staff photographer for the University newspaper and was taking photos just after it fell, not an easy thing. I also thought about the ape hangers but I am not sure how comfortable...

Thanks for a heads up on the goose neck... I have put about 6 miles on it as I work on it and it seems to ride pretty good... I tossed on a cheap LED headlight and taillight for riding in the evening until I can find my idea bullet light... So I have pulled all the stickers off and removed the...
