Hi All! New Bike

[MDHawk89]

Just picked this up... Will be searching the forum here and there to get some more info.

I like this set up but I do need to replace some parts. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Beauty bike you got there. Looks like it could have been built here, but I don't recognize it.

Welcome to RRB!!!

Thanks! Picked it up in Virginia.. needs some minor tweaking but will be in working order shortly.

Needs:
Headset tightening
Seatpost
Seat
Better wheel alignment.. has 24x3' in wheels, rub slightly
Fork & Rear spacers.. the rear has ugly homemade jobs to stretch it, guess to give the huge fat's clearance.

That looks like a Murray-built JC Higgins frame, if so, I believe it will handle a 24x3 tire without modification (it may need spread slightly to accommodate the hub).

The extensions may be there merely to stretch the rear out.

In any case, it's a sweet bike!

Cheers,
Dr. T

I actually like the way the dropout extension was done. Looks fairly cleanly done from what I can see.

 

[MDHawk89]

Yea... I suppose with some powdercoating possibly, it would look a bit cleaner.

Here is a closer pic and a look at the clearance issue on the front (rubbing)

Anyone have the seatpost diameter?

Thanks

Could also use some help identifying this guy...

looks like

That bike looks like it will fit right in here!
