BO15 ATOMIC Strand!

[BentRims]

Got lucky and scored a front wheel! Rhyno Lite XL rim with a Schwinn hub for $35 bones, just need a rear now. Cleaned the bearings and lubed-up with some Finish-line Teflon grease, smooth as butter

Had some DK Nuke Green Grips lay'n around.

Maybe Fenders and decals? Paint the fenders? or change the decals and leave'm black

I like em naked; no fenders, no decals

 

[Captain Awesome]

Score on that wheel for sure!!!

My opinion:
No fenders
No decals
Red grips

Great wheel.
I'm on the fence with the fenders. Try em and see.
Red grips would tie in the paint better. Just my opinion, but the green seems too far off from the frame colors.

Sweet!

Sweet gusseted frame and BMX fork for $15? You thief! (I wish it were me.)

Yes I need red Grips. Had these old Black AME without the GT logo's.

Looking at my wheel opions? Thinking about pinching the Bendex Red band? I read that the made in Mexico Bendex's have 4 brake pads in them, and maybe they might fit in the Red band Bendex's?

I like no fenders, minimal / selective decal use, and black grips or whatever your seat color will be to match.

I put a Wald ‘shorty’ on the rear of my strandie for those times I get caught in the rain or can’t avoid a puddle. It ‘kinda’ works...still get minor ‘rooster tail’ marks in my back

Entry's must in my 9:00 p.m. CT on Tuesday, September 1st, 2020


Pinched this early Bendix hub off a $10 wheel, got lucky! It looks as though someone drove the bike around the block twice. Inter Hub was near-mint, No rust, No bearing pits, also no grease.

Time for a quick Chem-Dipping for a 1/2 hour or so.

Cleaned up nice, Re-assemble with fresh grease, smooth as butter.

Going to have to pinch a matching rim off my other bike and try to Lace this Bendix up, *fingers crossed* these other spokes will work, I'll use my Bionic-Eye to judge.

Unlace'd and ready for a hub, I'll do it in the living room as i'm watching John Wick 3

No time for fenders Dr. Tankenstein, put'em on last week, looked Good and Strange at the same time.

1:30 am and the wheel is done! Drive-train's done and boy does this sucker ride smooth.

Have to Score some Grips later as Vintage 80's are starting to turn all goo.

Put a few Pinstripes to break it up.

That's it, more of Custom restoration than a Rat Bike. calling it good.
