Im gonna look just like that when I finish my sears spyder
I just broke the bank and won this seat on ebay. Its from a Huffy Star Spangler. Sometimes only the right parts will do. This is my big build for the year and its gonna be done right
Its all good. Ive been looking for this seat for three months
I have these with red and white leather streamers
Well my wheelie bar idea doesnt look as nice as I would have liked. Its very erector set looking and not smooth like a Wham O or what is seen in any pics I look up. I think I will leave it off.
The seat arrived today. I think my next step is to do a full mock up. Still need to get a metal disc to go behind the chainring and cover the holes. I will work on getting that done for the effect I want to pull off. Thats all for this week

You have a nice collection of parts and looks like you almost have everything, you'll be done in no time. Those pipes would definitely look sweet lit up!
I have reflectors that look great in them but still on the hunt for lights
I just stumbled across a 20" wheel with a sturmey hub in my stash! Its got no guts at the moment but I have some other hubs I can salvage the internal gear assembly from. Offer is still up if you need a wheel, pay shipping and its yours! Then find yourself a stickshift... let me know!
keep the rubber side down!

Theres a lot of parts in a 3 speed hub. Ive ruined a few taking them apart. If you know how to swap the guts successfully that would be awesome. I know the stickshift I want to use
I have rebuilt many an internal hub, the sturmey 3spd is easy for me. I will get the insides polished up for ya and let you know when its ready, should be within the next couple of days.

That would be awesome
That is awesome!
Its together! Got the hub internals from a '53, but the hub shell on the rim says '73. Amazing how universal the AW hub is! Up to you to clean the outsides, insides are dialled! Will be locating the rest of the nuts and the chain, then tossing it in a box for ya!

Wow thank You. What does AW mean? I thought Sturmey Archer was the only 3 speed maker back in the day. Im looking at a 333 t bar shifter that would be sweet on the top barIts together!

Let me ask you this, is there a way to get a pie plate behind the sprocket? Would that look right with a chrome guard behind a single sprocket?
So Im looking at this one and would want to mount it just forward of the frame taper. Would this be compatible? Fiance will kill me considering what I have into this so far but what the heck, i have a cot I can set up in the garage for a few days
Its the Sturmey AW3 hub. The 333 is a Shimano hub I believe, but the shifters should work as long as you use the cable hardware for the Sturmey, I have that hardware to connect to any cable I will toss in as well. Hard to screw up the adjustment, when the shifter is in second gear, you want the hub in 2nd as well.
