Nice fork job. And nice job overall!

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[Markm]

Yep me too LOVE THE FORK! Great job! :mrgreen:

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

thanks guys is nice to see some comments, and they're positive too

as you can see i had to mount a rear rim on the front cause of the width of the fork... i need a new rim too because this had bad bearings... i scooped a vuelta mtb rim on ebay, waiting for the auction to finish...

i want to put the 26x2.125 rubber back

i'm waiting for the laid back seat post too... should arrive soon

That fork would be perfect for a coaster brake, Front brake! like this one Double Nickel did..... viewtopic.php?f=51&t=28639

Or get a freewheel hub and thread on a scooter drum brake, like this one on eBay.

Good luck, bike looks great so far!

Cheers,

i also have the original drum brake from the scooter... but i really don't know how to lace it to the rim...

btw... i found a new bike in the trash bin... it looks great and it is a freakin' nice wheelie monster...

this is how i found it... dismantled and full of dirt

here is the after...

remount the fork changed the tubes, changed the front brake, clean it... still need new rubber... 20x2.125 rear 20x1.75 front... maybe i'll found some decent red tire

looking good with the vespa twin :lol:

Rusty will get new front rim tomorrow... still need to figure out how to remove the Cogset from the rear rim... any suggestion???

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

bought new tyres for the wheelie master...

tomorrow i'll post updated pics on wheelie and rusty

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

here the updated pics...

rusty received vuelta usa rim with a 26x2.5 cheng shin tire... i love chinese tires

wheelie received some cheng shin/maxxis tires too... 20x2.125 rear 20x1.75 front, changed the brake pads too...

now let the wheelie begin

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[Gdcast]

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[Gdcast]

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[Mugen_Stumpo]

need to be rebuilt... but here it is, is one of the first vbb2

sorry for the ot

Edit... i saw that i wrote 56 in the previous post... i meant 65

 

[Gdcast]

Yeah, I thought so when I saw the pic, a 56 would have been quite rare... although your 65 is great also.

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

today i spent a couple hours with rusty...

started whit some super trashed fenders

stripped them

used the modded front fender for the rear after widened it, made fixing tabes ecc.

used the frear one to build a little front fender after chopped it up ecc.

the rear one

also fabbed up a number plate... side mounted the plate and the rear light

let me know what do you think...
