I've been wanting to build a bike with a jackshaft made of a multi-speed rear hub... the build-off isn't the right time for it, but sometime in the future...

You should have a pretty easy build considering this is a digital image... all your work will be in the shop... the Photoshop.

Remember the rules say it must be able to be ridden.

Re: OFFICIAL BUILD OFF 7 "HYPE-UP" THREAD!

So I'm trying to think of how cheaply I can make a wicked road bike out of a ratty old English 3-speed... I'd love to convert one to a 5-speed hub, but Sturmey doesn't make 5-speeds anymore with 40 hole drillings. I can get dynohubs with 32 holes for the front, though... I have a Sanyo dynohub on my commuter, and it's awesome. Only $40, too.

Would it be evil of me to put a modern 2-piece track crank on a classic road bike? Hmm....

Which would be more evil? Putting new lightweight parts on a classic, or building a new lightweight frame road bike with drum brakes?

Decisions, decisions...

I'd do either, so I don't think either is evil. Or perhaps no more or less evil than the other. Your first scenario is more likely to get votes though...

Neither strikes me as evil, NO brakes would be evil, Fixie would be evil, Make a plate that rubs the tire like an old minibike would be evil, Anything else is just normal.

A plate, you say? Hmm...

A plate, you say? Hmm...

This idea has been in my head more than once. No need to find coaster brake wheel, no expensive drums or discs, no alignment issues with caliper brakes, and my idea was a piece of wood on the plate as the brake pad, so cheap replacement pads (until you wear out your tire).

Maybe coat your tire with Herculiner!!!

Re: OFFICIAL BUILD OFF 7 "HYPE-UP" THREAD!

I've gone and done it now... :lol:

Or go fixie and put a disk brake caliper on the front sprocket where the chain doesn't ride. 8)

I remember as a kid putting one leg down locked in front of a pedal and letting my Converse All Stars do the braking. They would brake pretty well. Maybe instead of wood as your braking surface, you could use some old sneakers.

Now you gentlemen have the voices in my head taking notes.... :shock:

Re: OFFICIAL BUILD OFF 7 "HYPE-UP" THREAD!

As much as I want to build a chopper (and a cargo bike) I am going to stick to a lightweight for this build...

I have a welder now! Once I get the hang of it, expect to see lots of twisted sickness coming forth from my workshop when the "anything goes" buildoff comes around.

*maniacal laugh*

And then there's the mixte in the garage and the Musclebike projects, and the bmx projects, if anything the buildoff gives incentive to get something done !!!!!!!!
