So….. runnin’ out of daylight!!!

I got a lot to do on this guy and not a lot of time!!!!

I’m gonna start slingin’ some paint!!!

Here she is scrubbed, wire wheeled, sanded and steel wooled.

First coat …. Underside

 

[Pondo]

Looks great in bare metal!

Looks great in bare metal!

Thanks!!!!

I thought about clear coating the red patina, then thought of clear coating the bare metal….. I rode today earlier in a 4th of July parade…. I don’t have a red, white and blue bike for my 4th of July ride.

I definitely love the idea, but I’m sticking with the patriotic theme…. Also, the color scheme secretly goes with the name.

It's paint day! I've been squirting some paint today also.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

So uh….. well, your shop and skill set is a bit different than mine!

I’m just squirting rattle can rustoleum on a bike pinched into place on an old sears workmate in my backyard!

You…. Got it going on at a pro level!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

We're both set up in the backyard! I've been waiting two days for the weather to cooperate.

Love that frame. Gonna be fun seeing you paint vision come to life.

Ok y’all…. I’ve got a little trouble here figuring out how I’m going to upgrade my shifter cable housing.

I have the replacement housing….

Anyone know how tough it is to replace this tip before I cut it off to slide the cable housing on?

The tip is integral to the tension for the shifting mechanism.

I recently modified one and will be modifying one to fit my torpedo hub to the 333 Shimano twist grip. There is a sort of how-to that was posted about my experience, using shrink solder connectors to build up the tip, to hold the housing. Also something to have in your kit as a quick fix, solder can be melted with a lighter. There is also a kit that has a clamp mechanism that comes with it. Hope this helps some

I don't believe there is any standard or normal way of replacing that tip if you remove it. However, I am sure there are various ways of using some good old rat engineering to manufacture some sort of replacement linkage. Good luck.

You might need one of these after:

[Chad T]

is the other end something that could be replaced with a standard clamp on cable end pinch bolt?

 

[OddJob]

So you are saying there are two 'ends', permanent tips to your old cable? What kind of shifter are you using? Most often there is one 'open' end that threads through the housing, and then gets clamped at the derailleur by a clamping bolt.

More photos of your shifting / drive train system would help me, Jude.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Not sure if this is similar to the model you're trying to save, this guy was able to make a Shimano 333 hub shift with a Sturmey cable

If you do go this route, be careful with the plastic plate in the shifter. I've read that they're quite brittle, and of course impossible to replace

This may be my best option this late in the game…..

What Oddjob said - what's on the other end?
