After finishing comes the leather lining

This 1950 gorick was transformed into boardtracker in 2016

I believe that my topic is in the wrong place, I believe it should be in constructions

This is a very rare bike around here,
There are few in Brazil
I've never seen one. I checked the frame, fork and handlebars on a buying and selling website. I paid 150 dollars for the pieces
.
The other parts bought on ebay:

Hub new departure D, front and rear.

Roadmaster badge.

Saddle long spring troxel.

All skip tooth gears.

I bought the rings 26 here in Brazil.

I only lack the Duro 26x2.125 diamond model tires. Are too expensive to import here into Brazil.


After all ready I want to ride a model airplane sidecar to walk with my daughter Sarah.

Thanks for the opinion and help of all American friends.

That hand-built seat pan is masterful work. I want to do the same here, but I'm not sure I have the skills.

 

[léocwc]

Some more pieces added to the project: Paralamas, impossible to find original here in Brazil, but these are acceptable and very wide. The stems of the paralamas are identical to the originals.

I'm enjoying this combination of steel with the color of the frame.

[léocwc]

I can not wait to ride this bike

 

[léocwc]

Next step: purchase of tires

 

[léocwc]

After thinking hard, I decided to take the project in that direction:
What do friends think?


But after I saw the paralamas in steel I thought I'd do something RAT

I'm sorry, I did not notice that I had posted messages in Portuguese

 

[léocwc]

Help please, I'm in big doubt!
I'm in the last phase of buying parts for my CWC Roadmaster.

What are the advantages and disadvantages between these two tires:

DURO 26x2.125 model diamond goodyer

Schwalbe fat frank 26x2.350 white

comfort
Scroll resistance
quality

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I'm not sure about the Duros, but the Schwalbe FFs are known for their low rolling resistance. I can speak for this first hand....I air mine up to 4.0 bar (50 psi) and they roll like a 700c street tire.

GOOD MORNING MY FRIEND.
YOUR BICYCLE WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL WITH THE FAT FRANK.
MY BICYCLE IS VERY LITTLE WITH YOURS, USE THE SAME FORK, SHOULD HAVE THE SAME AGE!
I THINK THAT I WILL SAY FOR THE FAT FRANK, I CAN BUY FREE SHIPPING AND WITHOUT ADDITIONAL IMPORTS FROM EUROPE!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Sounds good, they are an excellent quality tire. Nice thick sidewall, on larger tires (particularly 24 x 3) they can be very thin and prone to puncture or blowout. That is not a problem with Fat Franks

Also, they come in brown with a whitewall. That might look good on your bike.
