What head badge is on it?

Ill follow along. This looks great.

The tank I transferred the image outline with pencil and then hand painted. The box was much easier. I printed out the logo on paper. Cut it out with a razor and then suck it to the box using some glue stick. Then I hit it with black spray paint before the glue dries. After that you just peel...

Well its been a while. This one got put on the back burner when my wife got pregnant and I did a bunch of house projects. But a month ago i found a fork for this bike and it inspired me to get it done. I bought this bike because its prewar but nowhere near original. I wanted to make a custom...

Is it a mens? Whats the stem length? Looking for one for my DX

Guess ill have to bid on the stuff when it ends up on ebay.

Well crap! I need a fork. Who is the greedy son of gun buying all the stuff!

Ill take the springer fork.

Disregard post

Pulled the tank off. Looks like the paint would have been better left alone. At least i know it was originally black and white.

Ill take the chain guard. Whats the paypal?

Did you ever get the dimensions of the fork? I would be interested in them.

Ill take booth sweat hear skip tooth for 35$

Hello, My DX has a womens fork on it so im looking for either a springer or a truss rod fork for a 1940 DX. Let me know what you have. Thanks

Where are you shipping from?

I'll pass to was.hoping it had truss rods.

I think I'll just turn a spacer on my lathe and run it as is. What is the head tube length difference from men's to women's so I know how thick to make the spacer.

If he passes ill take it. Let me see pics

It says century. Again I doubt its original. Looks like thisone Guess ill look for the correct fork and sell this one. :(

Did the forks ever sell?

I cant wait to get rid of the paint. To each his own but in my opinion it hideous and has to go. :eek: May be running into some issues with the forks. I started a thread if anybody would like to join in with advice, help or just to watch me fumble through another project...

Well, Picked up this DX, at least thats what i think it is. Just looking it over at home the springer was tweaked at the stem. It looks like it needs a spacer in there to line it back up. I undid the top nut and measured it for referance. The stem looks to be 6 1/2" and the neck is 5 1/2...

I picked it up. I like it, and really there just are not a lot of Prewar bikes for sale. Im not looking for a restore job. The last bike i restored is to nice to ride now, maybe a little over restored. The fender edge was rolled over not sharp. Not sure what that tells me.The springer needs a...

The forks, wheels and fenders im sure were put on by him and are not necessarily correct. He started with just the frame, tank and cranks. I want to go get the bike but just dont want to over pay for it. Somebody here said $450 max does anybody else think thats fair or to much?

Serial number.

Hey Guys. Looking for a small project bike. I came across this one and might go pick it up today. Was just a frame, tank, and crank when the guy got it so thats all that is original to the bike. Looking at it i came up with a 1940 or 41 DX. Is that right? Also what do you think is a fair price...

Hi rick, Thanks for the help. You might want to go back a page. I did contact Memory Lane Classics and get spokes. The bike is finished and i would say it is a Beauty.

Yeah, I need to move those washers to the back. The rack has a separate set of bolts holding it on. For sale? If it was mine, i might sell it. I have a hard time keeping my projects when Im finished with them. But the price would be pretty high. I would put it at 3k. Is that crazy or would...

Finally got the crank and sprocket bent back to shape. At least close enough. Then had them chromed. So i took it out for a propper photo shoot.

inside diameter is roughly 1.06 inches O.D. is 1.4"

I have 2 springs. Bought them from ebay and did not need them. They are advertised as NOS $15 shipped for 1 spring.

I took the bike to the local pub and parked it out front. I met my father in law there for a beer. He walked right past the bike over to us to say. Almost on que a guy walked by and said "whos bike is this?" We all kinda looked at eachother and then i said "its his" ,pointing at my father inlaw...

I think i have the wheel centered but every time i get the wheel in and i think its tight i go out front and ride it. Then when i pedal hard the wheel slides forward and the chain falls off. Guess i need to crank it down tighter? EDIT:Ok so i fixed that but now my kick back arm is flying up...

Well i still have to put the rack on the back and the rear hub is to loose. I also need to have the crank and sprocket chromed but her it is as of today. Before AFTER!

Im having a hell of a time figuring out where all the bolts and washers went. Anybody have any idea on how they go? There has to be atleast 1 on the inside of the frame otherwise there is a big gap between the dropouts and hub.

Do you have a picture of the frame where the rear fender bolts just bellow the seat?

My friend dropped this bike off to me. He said he thought it was a 52 or 53. He got it from a guy who owned a bike shop. This was the display bike in the front window and when he closed the shop he took the display bike and it sat at his house. I looked on the drop out and under the crank for a...

Got all my chrome back yesterday. Laced up the wheels and mounted the tires. Went to the paint guy only to find he was not done. So today i went back and taped off the fenders and frame for the white paint. So i am not going to make my dead line for his birthday but it will only be a few days late.

Bump Open to offers

seat is covered. Now i just have to paint the rest of it. Chrome should be done early next week and then i can start lacing up the wheels.

Just like the head badge not fitting, i got the crank in the mail and i put it up to the original crank and the thread distance comes up a little short. So what are my options? Can i un-bend the crank that was on the bike? The crank was marked s-1-64. Does that mean anything?

$90

I think is a speedster. Now i just need to find the chain guard.

This was my grandmas bike. My grandpa bought it for her used for her to ride to work at the library and back. It was just sitting on the side of her house under a rotten tarp. It had what i believe were s-7 wheels that were rusted to heck. I found a set of S-2 rims locally and swapped those on...

Well i thought i got a good deal on a nice headbadge but found out today that i was mistaken. Its a little small.

Looks good so far. I was going to put a motorcycle in the autorama but there was no way i would have finished in time. Maybe next year. Hope i can at least make it up for the show.

Well not much progress for those of you who are watching. I brazed on the rear section. I also painted the flashlight holder. It had a date of May 26 31 on it. So I guess its old. My flashlight came in the mail today also. Monday my paint guy will be back from Hawaii and i will take the bike...

Welded some ends onto some tube. Ill round them off a little to look like the original bar as much as i can and then braze it on.

Package full of goodies showed up today. Just need those rims back from the chrome guy so i can get to lacing. Haven't laced a bicycle wheel in a while. Last few i have done were for motorcycles. I was doing a little research on the flashlight holder that was on the bike. Turns out its was...
