BUILD OFF #5 IS COMING

[xddorox]

what is she doing? trying to hold back a face-hugger? (from that sci-fi movie series Aliens) :lol: looks pretty sweet!

It does look like that!

 

[stretch]

so whats this gem going on?

 

[xHOBOPHOBIAx]

looks to me like she is holding a taco, or a hotdog

 

[stretch]

taco sounds a lot better than face-hugger. :lol:

 

[udallcustombikes]

Mmmmmmmm....Hot Dogs, ahhhhhhh.

A little research on the web reveals that this could be an aftermarket knock off of the Goddess of speed from Packard. The taco/facehugger replaces the wheel that was on the original. It's going on my stretched black cruiser that I'll be putting in the build-off.

 

[stretch]

neat. weird how you could even find anything on it.

 

[roadmaster]

5 more day and i still dont have a frame :roll: or forks :roll: or wheel and tire set :roll: but i do have a sprocket, hub, and a set of pedals lined up :mrgreen:

I am glad my Goodyear Speedways didn't sell yesterday. Now I just gotta find a fork...

 

[gowjobs]

I'm in pretty good shape so far. Have my frame, fork, wheels (still don't know iff my 3CC hub actually shifts or not), tires, bars, stem, seatpost clamp, headset and a few other pieces eithe in-hand or on the way. Still need to locate a suitable seat, fab a seatpost, score cranks, BB, pedals, tubes and a chainwheel...

The real building part will be custom fenders, paint and details to complete my concept/theme/inspiration.

Good luck to all!

Ive got a 3cc also. It doesn't have an oil port, so I added lightweight oil, 30 weight engine oil, through the shifter hole and it helped it shift smoother. Also on the shifter, a little oil made it shift like new.

I have a freshly rebuilt Komet Super coaster hub I am going to use. My parts are all sitting there calling me. I am dreading draging my 75# bike stand up from the basement, but I think that will be tomorrow's project.

Well the hunt is over :mrgreen: Just got me a 1962 schwinn frame off of fleabay for $41.00...

From what I've read, a 3CC is designed to be entirely lubricated by grease, rather than oil, but that doesn't mean it won't work!

It is times like these that I am glad I have a friend who is a metal plater.

 

[cashman]

Been digging up some stuff for a while. I've been thinking about jumping in on this one?

Got everything else, wheels, pedals, seat and a plan
