My don't look to closely build

[lastplace29er]

After spending way to much time on this website I got hit with Rat Fever and purchased a Dyno Moto Glide rust bucket. The thing was total mess.

Every piece of steel and chrome looked like the kickstand. I was going to blast & powder coat but realized it wasn't worth it. I ground and rat canned the frame flat black.

I cleaned and relubed, the hubs, Nexus 4 speed gears and crank. The roller brakes have been repainted and relubed.

I stall can't get the wheels clean, any suggestions?

The tubs and tires were shot and had to be replaced. I'm a sucker for 24" x 3" tires.

Instead for replacing chrome items, forks and handlebars I blasted them and painted using Krylon premium chrome paint. They came out pretty good.

Next up putting the double crown fork back together.

Yea, It's a Dyno

Going to be a nice build. Looking forward to seeing where you take it.

For cleaning rims I've had good luck with WD-40 and those cheap brass brushes.

WD and 0000 steel wool, WD and aluminum foil... Diet coke?!

Bar keepers friend works good on wheels with fine steel wool, then some quality polish with a cotton towel.

Those rims are alum. Brushes & steel wool will ruin the finish! You can take the spokes off & puff with Simichrome polish. If you take the spokes off, you could paint the rims also. I've got alot of Dyno's, they are great bike to ride.

aluminum mag wheel polish & mother's power ball minni might work!

Looked chrome from here. If they are aluminum then Mothers mag and aluminum polish, a cotton towel, and lots of elbow grease.

They are alloy wheels, may have to get some mothers before it's done.

Clear coated the chrome painted items and ruined them. Everything went gray. Well don't look to close, I'm moving ahead with gray parts. Hopefully will get the double crown fork done this weekend.

It's actually starting to look like a bike

Later today will be adding pedals, chain and start cabling up the Nexus stuff.

 

[lastplace29er]

Crap, I just noticed the shifter guide is not lined up properly. I'm going have to take the hub apart again and realign it.

 

[lastplace29er]

DONE! for now...

Next build will not be a rust bucket and have Nexus hub and roller brakes!
