Ratty Silver King

[Rockit!]

I finally scored a Silver King frame for pretty cheap. I decided to build it up with parts I had laying around instead of working on my Build-Off bike :roll: This will be my new commuter, it rides GREAT. :mrgreen: I still need to get the two-speed up and running, but I couldn't wait to share it. Hope you guys like it!




Nothing like vintage tires! :wink:

Also, I want a badge for this puppy if anyone has one laying around. And the Brooks is busted.....right after this I duct taped it :lol: Anybody have one to part with?

Looks great! The tire is awful close to the seatstay, maybe an extra link in the chain would help?

Unfortunately the frame is jacked. I have to run it to one side to get the sprockets to line up Guess that's why it was cheap! :lol:

Dish the rim? Shim the front sprocket?

Neither. The frame was broken and repaired long ago, but they neglected to line up the dropouts properly :|

I am seriously contemplating cutting it, aligning it, and re-welding it
