Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST
Well I just decided that I want to ride this thing. So I'm using a monark springer fork and I'm going to try to get this rolling tonight. I still need a seat tube and a seat since I'm not using the original seat tube. I want something comfortable.

Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST
suddenly we have a finished bike?!?! Well almost...
That's scary,
although we still have 2,5 months to go. :wink:
That's an awesome job you did! I like the decals you did. Hope the new ones won't interfere with those. But I'm surprised about the parts. The handlebars. Where did they come from? Pretty nice. As is the spring you've used in the springer. Not standard right..?
Very cool cruiser! 8)

Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST DONE!!!!
Kinda of a bittersweet moment here....
Bitter because it's sad when when any business has to close, especially when it's one like yours.
Sweet because the bike is, well, SWEEEEEEET!
Good luck to you and thanks for setting the 'finished bike' bar so high!
P.S. Are you going to keep the 'decal' business going?
Cheers,
Dr. T

Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST DONE!!!!
the bike looks cool, I love cup holders
sorry to hear about the bar, they dont close that often where I live(you need like $100,000 to get a liquor license in my county) So if they do shut down they usually sell their liquor license to someone else first.

Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST DONE!!!!
It was a good day at the show. I got a few decal clients everybody liked the monark and rollfast but it when it came down to the trophy the bike of the day went to a black phantom but a 1996 replica. All I can say is, almost everybody said, who the f?#* was the judge. But I had fun!

Re: LATE 30'S ROLLFAST DONE!!!!
I just realized that I had not mentioned the new departure triplspeed conversion unit and how I got it to work. Here it goes, I had the hub with the conversion unit and the shifter lever, I made the chain indicator with a regular size spoke. Just cut it to the right length and hit the side where the chain goes with something heavy, just so you get it flat enough so you can drill a little hole. Then get a sturmey chain indicator remove the chain and install it on the hole on the spoke you just drilled out. Its just to much to explain I'll post some pictures tomorrow
