GT Dyno cruiser build

[mikeeebikey]

So while we are on the subject of cranks. What about width? I'm not taking about bottom bracket width but between the pedals. Are all the ashtabula cranks the same? I'm thinking not but I really don't know.

As far as that goes....
The lower end stuff such as the Diamond back cranks pictured are made for big American bottom brackets. I have a set of the diamonds on my motorized....
The higher end I run as wide a spindle possible. With Profiles I want the splines completely buried into the crank arm, so snuggling them up you run out of stack height and have .010ish slop... best have an experienced wrench set up sealed bottom brackets.

Anyone kind of curious about why there is an ISM Adamo seat on a cruiser.

It was free. Not to bad either.

I sort of assumed it was for sitting on

Wheels arrived yesterday, so I mounted up the tires and mocked up a bit. Got a little clear weather today so I was able to get outside and get a little teaser shot!

I'm pretty pleased with where this is heading so far.

My bars came in today

I can't show you all yet, waiting for my intern seat to show up first. I will say that I am very happy with what I found.

Ok here's where I'm at with it now.

Next step is finding a suitable shifter.

Suitable shifter found! Here's where I'm at with the Dyno now. Still not finished though, waiting for more parts, it's getting closer though.

Definitely has been fun putting this together so far. Really it's been a stress reliever,

at least when I wasn't screwing things up! First initial ride I forgot to put the master link together, yeah I did that sheesh. That's not even the worst, I finally got parts to put the rear brakes together and got it all on there cable routed nice adjusted up and took off, forgot to bolt the drum brakes to the frame! Wrapped that cable up around the wheel. Yep I did that too, sheesh I am losing it I think. Really though I just listed my house for sale and been under a lot of stress so I'm just glad that is the worst I did!

Riding nice so far! Really happy with it. Going for a ride right now.

Better shot of the shifter!

Think I may be finding a shifter like that one for my 3 speeder Dyno!!! Looks awesome there!

I had the reaction arm bolt on a roller brake gotten loose and at one point the nut came off, then the bolt as well. I pulled the rear brake and there was a loud bang and the wheel locked up! Luckily I had tools with me (I always do) and cut the cable, centered the wheel in the dropouts and was able to continue. (I have a front disk brake on that bike)
It wasn't that bad though - the reaction arm was bent, but I managed to straighten it and the frame was scratched, but held (Felt).

Been a bit since I posted an update on the DYNO. Still not finished but close!

Wow!
You put a lot of work into this one, looks like a blast to ride!
