Sportmaster? HELP!

[pholTmonx]

Nice finds... Cool seat for $5.. that light may look nifty mounted down off the front axel...

White or red sparkly grips

White or red sparkly grips

I thought about that, but i'm not sure how they would form to the bollhorn ends...

 

[pholTmonx]

One of the site sponsors makes ball end grips and coke bottle style. There are lots of even cheap lowrider grips that look like old Schwinn grips..
Now torpedoes might just be the ticket

I'm thinking of mounting that headlight right onto the front fender. I've seen a lot mounted off the stem bolt or fork area. I think it is original and interesting idea to mount it on the fender. the original bracket will not work that way tho...so i gotta find something

 

[Gbarnes90]

Well I crossed off another step on my checklist for this sportmaster...I modified the headlight bracket to get it mounted onto the front fender. I hadn't seen many people who have mounted them directly onto the fender, maybe its for a reason i'm unaware of but I liked the look.

You could cut off the curved ends of the bars and fit any handle grips.

Grip tape and bar end plugs.

alright, so I'm looking into a set of felt 26" cruiser wheels. they are 25x50mm rims, I am wondering if this would even be possible. there is only 57mm width of clearance where they would be in the fork...I want to put these and some 26x2.125 tires. or if anyone has wheelset recommendations that would be not as wide but work with 26x2.125 tires. I am looking for black rims. I just like the price at $99 per rim

Forum member 'ind-chuckz' usually has some 26x1.75 in (~45mm) black alloy wheels. They'll easily will take a 26x2.125 tire.

Good luck!

Agree @ind-chuckz builds awsome wheels to order also I got me a set of his workman's and some built up rears... Awsome deals

 

[pholTmonx]

I can check clearance for you tonight... It'll be tight I'm rear that's why I went for BMX/ strand build w mine. I was a bit surprised was a middleweight... Didn't even consider it

 

[Gbarnes90]

that would be awesonme if you could measure for me...where would i find more info on his rims for sale?

Thanks guys, I just ordered a set from @ind-chuckz. I'm really excited! I would have had no idea he does that

 

[Bicycle808]

Are those 26x2.125? the fit doesn't look half bad! I think i will be putting on the 2.125 now that i've seen it on yours. any chance it will clear the stock fenders?

Those are, and are Cheng Shin generals, a rather wide tread I think.
I really am used to balooner or cruiser frames, I was shocked how it looked, figured needed smaller tires to look right.
They look great really.
I'd need a shot of how fenders fit now on yours, but I'd think so...
I'd run small bricks and u should be good to go.
Thanks again for having me check
