I have a build question that I'm sure would fit in better somewhere else but since this is the hot forum...

Anybody seen or have a link to a Schwinn style springer that has been extended? I'm wondering if a guy could bolt some long rockers (for lack of a better term) to the end of the fork and the braces?

I don't remember who or what build, but I remember seeing someone put plates on a springer like I think you're talking about.

I think it was in a build off, unless photobucket issues happened there should be pics somewhere here.

I bought a slightly used PJ Trailer on Monday destined to be a bike hauler. It may be my alternate summer build-off project. Purchased it with bike sale proceeds. It will probably get some old school custom wooden side rails.

Still have 4 bikes that could be redone. Two are nice original, two are rusty crusty riders at present.

If using Discs, make sure to use tabbed washers and/or bolt thru on the axle, so the wheels.dont eject when braking hard.... ... I was doing about 20mph...

That's not the one i was thinking, but I think that's kind of what Carl is talking about.

I'll be in again this year. Got some tricks up my sleeve.
Great! I thought you were out of the bike world with your full time job.

Also, congrats on graduating college!:rockout: Building bikes will be easy compared to that.:happy:

I’m out of the collecting bike world. AVBS is still downtown selling 70’s and 80’s bikes to hipsters.

Since I share space with Edison Electric Bike Co, it’s possible to see some collaboration...

Hey guys, long time listener...

I've decided to join the build off this year and actually finish. Probably will build a bike for my son. I haven't been involved in the past few years so I don't know what ruleset we are on.

Welcome back brother
