    Ugly accessory of the day!

    No accounting for taste....

    Is there Verboden when building Rat Rod Bike Art?!?!

    Chrome plating is not illegal in California... Using hexavalent chromium will be after 2027, and good riddance- it is nasty stuff. Trivalent chrome is and will be legal. It is a different process and some shops won't bother to adapt.

    How to test an Expert speedometer?

    Usually the cable spins to the right. Chuck it into an electric drill to check. And grease the heck out of the cable housing to keep the noise down. Maybe the brackets are left and right?

    Sale Pending TOC Fixed Gear Barrel 40 Hole Barrel Hub

    40 hole rear is British standard up to mid 20th Century(?)- are the threads BSC (British Standard Cycle)? There were some proprietary threads too, but this hub is complete and ready to go on your clubman!

    Don't Know What It... Is.... Mas I Don't Want, To Know About It...😶‍🌫️🥵🫣

    I like it! If there is exposed steerer tube between heads, "something" needs to done with it- wig-wags, propellers, whirling disc of death...

    What America could have been building in the 30s

    Better tubing definitely would help, but you'd have to build your own frame! Light and responsive bikes were made in the 1890s. By the 1930s bikes were all using gas pipe, but high quality aircraft tubing was available.

    Fender spacers

    Someone here was selling aluminum reproductions a few years ago. Dig through the board and you can probably find them. Same story with originals- they show up for sale here occasionally and may not have sold.

    What America could have been building in the 30s

    Interesting. At least into the 1920s Iver Johnson tried to sell bikes to adults as transportation. And all US manufacturers seemed to make diamond frame lightweights through the 1940s- I'm not sure how those were marketed. Schwinn put up a good effort with the New World, Superior and Paramount.

    Bicycle shop stickers

    I have headbadge for a DeSimones San Jose "Golden West" bike- no bike attached, but it has a 1920's-1930s look to it. Local legend has that they were very active in the bay area velodromes.

    Slingshot road bike

    Oh... I didn't get that far. It wouldn't hurt to give them a phone call- old fashioned, but it will probably connect you with a human eventually, who might have more information. Just a suggestion, not necessarily a good one.

    Lebanon Indiana, looking or a vendor

    A Waller? There were several British and European builders trying to shorten the wheelbase as much as possible: My first thought was a Hetchins Flying Gate, but they only have a single verical tube (correction- it's Baines who made them, not Hetchins)-...

    Vintage Bicycle ID from film

    A long time ago I pointed out that 1930's girls bikes were geared lower than boys bikes. A room full of women in their 80s were furious about that. That's why we could never beat the boys!

    Motorcycle guages?

    Splitdorf made magnetos, so maybe a voltage output gauge? Pegged at 40 volts seems high for a car or motorcycle. It seems to say volts on the face behind the fog. Looks cool though!

    Who Has The Heaviest Bike?

    Depends how you define a bike- any velocipede/boneshaker with a wrought iron frame, steel tires, solid wood rims and spokes is going to be 75#+ at a guess. Highwheelers were a little lighter- mostly. For ballooners. Columbias seem to be heavier than others. People I knew who grew up in...

    Quick fix for missing decal on SA 3 speed shifter

    What household stuff will clean cast aluminum?

    That is pretty crusty! I'd start with a vigorous brushing with a stiff plastic brush and follow up with Scotchbrite wheels on a Dremel. Are there two mating parts? be careful where they come together
