Still have this bike if anyone is interested in a 80s 26" BMX cruiser swap

bump

Nice Truss bridge frame post 1921 Frame is pretty straight, with a couple of minor dents in the seat stays, possibly from a rack. Rough but original paint. Really nice set of wood clincher rims with schwalbe tires, NOS Model R rear hub, NOS sprocket, NOS diamond chain, model M front hub, NOS...

Look a bit like Answer

Super cool piece of Htown history there I know you were after one for a while Some pics outside a regional usps would be rad Congrats

Nice. what frame is that?

I think 82 model may actually a two-six rather than a Kos.

Stem looks a lot like the early GB spearpoint stems from the uk. Would not be surprised if there is a connection there somewhere

I would just do the same as you plan for the outside Spray BLO or pull a rag soaked in it through the tubes Once dry it will hold the crust in place

Good grab some nice parts for sure on there

Still need one of these

Damn Look awesome Should have got the wheels routed out for clinchers

Still looking…

Iver made all their own fittings which are distinct None of them match on this bike. Crankset, Headset, Fork crown, Rear drops I do not believe Iver Johnson used letters in their serial numbers either And badge clearly too big for the head tube It has been added at some point in its life life...

Fork looks Akisu also

Peugeot pipeline has same front brace Has to be a connection there

Not an Iver I think

Cool bike and photo Is his name Richard???? You should Get some new tubs for that bad boy and get it rolling. BMX ones may fit.

Cool and interesting project You seem to have almost all the parts Why not just clean the frame and assemble it with what you have?

You did good @Jesper is the local nago expert Hopefully he will visit soon

Nice Careful use of a graffiti remover might get you back to the original paint There is a few threads on the process here and vintage car forums like the samba

bmxmuseum My second favorite bicycle forum https://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=189300

Not really Houston has a large population now but it is a relatively new city. Add to that the flooding and other natural disasters we enjoy not much old stuff around. My observation is vintage finds seem more common in older cities like the north east.

Sorry you are getting out of the hobby I hope all is well H’town is not an easy place to sell bikes They don’t call it the petro metro for nothing!

Black with green darts is my favorite…

13-32 6 speed new winner freewheel was stock on my 84 mongoose atb Looks nice

Looks like it may have been a chater Lea racer Lots of incorrect parts unfortunately

Found Thanks @Dave Stromberger

Looking for early Iver hub with the BM stamp 32 hole. Any leads appreciated Thanks Col

I already looked at those Too short too fat These are about 1/2” diameter and 12-14” long Dave suggested to find a local manufacturer

Have you taken the suspension apart yet? It looks like the bottom and top springs are missing ? My springs are pretty worn Was looking at getting some made at one point, but most manufacturers have a minimum order which was pretty high

Cool project Did you get the crank, headset and bars too?

@Dave Stromberger

My 1907 cushion frame iver has this same suspension set up

you have so many cool bikes but you seem to post this one the most Is it your favorite?

As has already been mentioned it looks a lot like a mongoose ATB biplane fork from the early BMX cross over period around 1984 It should be 1” thread with 21.1mm insert diameter IIRC I believe they were made by Tange or Akisu, and on several early ATBs of the era I am going to say mongoose ATB...

I believe the 1909 - 1910 models had the one year only nut on the drive side and recessed cups, and 1903-1909 crank is different again so I am going to put it between 1911 and 1921 or perhaps had a later model crank fitted hence the make shift lock ring If you can remove the tape and get a close...

Looks like the head tube has been shortened Maybe a loose headset?
