What bike did you work on today?

[RustyHornet]

Got some more done on the Sidewinder last night. Wheels and brake levers off the donor bike. Tires robbed from one of my wife’s bikes that she’s done with. Pulled the crank and derailers to clean them up. Looks like a bike now! Super excited!

Not easy to find in chrome. The ones I have I pulled off an Electra Straight 8. The same bar in black is available from Trek dealers. I have them on 3 other bikes. Alternatively you could try the McCaskey Tiller bars sold by the cabe founder. View attachment 1483739

Day off work and a few minutes spare time this morning before the day’s activities commence. Pulled a Brooks B17 from my stash and sooper kool Hunt Wild grips. The only thing I’ll probably have to buy new is brake calipers and some more yellow cable. So far it sits really well. Super comfy.

Swap meet find today. Have always regretted selling my runabout… I can’t afford another one…

So my poor man’s runabout. 15 min transformation, just gotta clean it up, service it, install a longer crank and change a few parts out. Shall be fun.

Installed high bars on the spitfire today. I have a 4 reflector rear rack but did not have the proper hardware to install it tonight. Heading to home depot in the morning for longer bolts so I can install the rack. Next is making the fenders got tighter or replace them?

I scrapped about 95% of the paint off the '40 WF frame. The putty knife was the most effective. Getting late, I'll sand and prime it tomorrow.

Got my Sidewinder project riding, took a break from that for awhile because I was getting frustrated with the brakes… Worked on the mini-ray while I stepped away. Swapped the rear sprocket to a 16 tooth. Also installed a longer crank and some exerciser seat post and neck bolts.

Sidewinder just needs some tuning. Can’t wait to get it out for a long ride.
