PURSUIT

[Araya51]

Ok, Here I am going through the Gallery section and I'm going crazy checking out all these awesome looking bikes and I say to my self, Self I need to put a RRB together and see comes out of it. But after checking out some of the bike in the gallery there were like three bikes the cought my eye the most and they are.
1. Stripped & Teased
2. Black & Wild
3. Fenderless Freddy
I have to say these are good looking Bikes and simple builds but straight to the point.!!!
So I'm going to build me one of these good looking bikes for myself and with the bikes that I have laying around and see what I come up with..
Here are my doners for the build. The maine frame will be the black Murray and the second one is a 80's-90's Schwinn with a 3 speed Sturmey Archer and springer fork just to get things started but will be changing things as they go.
So far this is what I came up with after putting things together after couple hours of work. By far this is not the finnished product. Just a mock up stage for now..

Thanks for looking and I will keep you updated as progress goes on...

"40 views and nothing to say.. ????" ;

Aaaahh.!!! Someone is out there.. LOL Well I have not taken it out yet do to I have not put a chain on and also hooked up the shifter (gear) cable on either.. I sat on the the bike and it has a good fit but looking to change out the straight springer for a bent one. I want to lower the frame down a bit but then I have to worry about the cranks being to long. I have other wheels I want to put on this project and also have origenal tank for this bike also to bolt on too etc etc.. Thanks for the interest KJV.!!!

nice job so far. as far as people saying something, well it's sometimes hard to say anything for all the bikes being built. I sure can't say or write something for every bike on here. just not enough time in the day. take for instance my 3 builds right now. have you said anything about them. no I don't think so. I have alot of looks an very few comments. BUT, I am glad that at least they are lookin. I know how it feels. just think if all 8,000 plus members on here were building all at the same time. you couldn't start to leave a comment to all. enough of this. we are lookin and you have a great start. keep up the great job. hope this helps. keep buildin an postin with lot's of pic's. we like em pic's on here.lol.

Just an add on here of the wheels I want to put on the PURSUIT when that time comes..

Just need a Blue high flange front wheel hub..

 

[KOTA]

I like the look. 1.75 up front. The only thing I can't figure out is why the girl's MTB was so much lower in the front and the Murray isn't (if that's the same fork).

Thanks OUTLAW.. Just need a Blue high flanged front hub to go with the rims.. AND to get somebody to lace them up and true them for me also.. :?: :?:

 

[OUTLAW]

there is a post on how to lace a wheel and true it up. it's actually easy to do. the biggest problem is getting the spoke length right. there is a program for that too. just google it up. you can take the hub and rim to someone who knows what they are doing and ask them to figure out what spokes to use. may cost a few bucks and if you do that it's nice to buy the spokes from him. then you can learn how to do your own lacing and truing. there is also books on how to do this. good luck.

Thanks Again.. I need to learn cuz I buy and fix bikes and flip them and my biggist problem is getting the wheels done and it holds me back to sell them.. I have about three or four bikes on hold cuz of wheels that need to be redone.. I most deff need to look into it. OH YES I WILL, OH YES I WILL.!!!! :lol: LOL

 

[OUTLAW]

get some spoke wrenches at the bike shop. you can true a wheel on the bike. I don't like it that way so I use a truing stand. just read up on how to do it. much better to do yourself. makes faster flips.lol.
