Is it just an optical illusion or do those kinda look octagonal / tapered towards the top? Like they're meant to be leaned over at steep angles

What are the bars on that? Real nice job looks great.

Good morning coasterbrakejunkie! The bars are brand new Wald gull wing. Found them on Amazon.

Good morning caber’s! This weeks project is a 1946 dx that’s been repainted. This one is just going to be clean and pack all the bearings bearings, a set of Schwinn typhoons and tubes, and restore the seat.

According to the blurb on the S&M website they are multi edged but still round. The heavy duty construction makes them suitable for stunt and skate park work but they are also great road tires which is what i use them for. This photo shows the contact area running them at 85psi.

After my ride on Sunday, I decided that my 1940 Dx needed a shorty front fender so I wouldn’t get rooster tailed again when riding through water. Also modified the rear fender and added a different side stand.

When your work stand is full, what do ya do? It's upside down Schwinn cake time!

Picked this iver Johnson today. Gotta go through it and see if it’s worth fixing up.

Hey guys didn’t realize that this iver Johnson had wooden rims. I haven’t worked on metal outer rim with wooden a insert rims . What can I do with these , should I strip and repaint or strip and polish. What do you guys think? Thanks for the feedback .

Saved from the scrapper, before and after. Wrapped it up last night.

This project took a few days. I got a pair of Axiom lowrider pannier racks for my 87 High Sierra aka "PMX ( Pack Mule X ) "
I wrapped the fronks up to protect the paint from the clamps.

After many arrangements of placing the clamps, this was as close to having the racks level with the ground. I don't like the the tilted look.

Next, I took a 1/8" x 1" x 3' aluminum bar stock and fabricated front support bracket / brush guard. Here, I placed it in, marked , drilled holes and cut to fit.

Bolted in, checked everything. I then removed it

Primed and

Painted and reassemble it..

Some pictures with the panniers mounted

55 Litre capacity in the back and 22 litter up front.

Don't bust any knuckles!
