1936 Rollfast Rat Rod Survivor Build

[OSMojo]

So I finally managed to sort out the head tube. I had to buy two sealed bearings that went into the head tube, then used the existing two as well, so it has four bearings. I still need to add a slim spacer as there is minute wobble. I also need to get a skip tooth crank and chain, pedals, seat post clamp. The lock (works perfectly) is NOS from a man who worked at Raleigh in the early fifties (he's 90).

The forks are AMF Avenger 1970s.

I might have an extra one of the collet-clamps for this frame.

The seat clamp?

 

[The Black Monark]

Yes, these frames take an internally expanding collet-type clamp, that's why there's no split in the seat tube.

i need to build some of them in the future

 

[OSMojo]

Thanks. They're aluminium. From an AMF Avenger. If you can make some of these you can sell them on a daily!

I think you're the only person left with one of these collet expanding posts.

Well I haven't been able to put my hand on it, but I do think there's one here. I'm continuing to clean up and organize, so if it turns up it'll have your name on it.
