The Mobicycle is looking great, I think you'll like the the ride on the blunts ..they make for a good solid wheel set ! Enjoy ! Mark

yes I see the difference now after comparing frames, so what years did Ross make these frames ? Mark

UMM I don't think thats a Ross, looks like a Murray Spaceliner frame with some incorrect parts thrown at it but it is a cool bike just the same ! Mark

Finally , something to do with them tandems I have in the junk pile ! The local meth heads would snatch them up in a hurry , especially if you throw in some suedafed cold tablets?:confused::rolleyes: Mark

I'll take the front fender ! pm coming Mark

Just to add my .02 I would follow Shawns advice and just wax over the original paint . I have a couple Pierce bikes awaiting restoration and I am still trying to find the rear shaft drive hub for one that's the only hold up for me so if anyone has one I am interested. Mark

Very cool bike but my knees hurt just thinking about riding it in my hilly neighborhood !:eek: Mark

PM sent for the Brass Packard Mark

In my neighborhood I would pay 150 or 200 on a good day , at the moment I could use the chrome drop centers. Mark

Nice find, the crank looks like the one that's on my Mead Arch bar and I can't say I've seen a stem like that nor a quill post but it is cool. Mark

Thanks Gerald , I spent several hours removing two repaints to get that original paint back ! I bought the rims in black and had a buddy of mine do the wood grain paint job as he is a much better air brush artist than I am, the next pair wont have the knots just the grain and shading around the...

Those appear to be automotive style valves for tubeless tires , not quite what I've seen for repairing single tube but who knows they may work fine. I have seen some of the oval valves on ebay lately but kind of spendy. Mark

Gerald , since you ask here you go ! Still a work in progress as my hunt continues for more parts. Fake knotty finish not so popular running Schwalbe Little Big Ben tires 700 38c on Blunt 35s MARK

Welcome Gerald, nice job so far on the Mobicycle ! It looks great in black with the aged wood wheels. I have been working at piecing a Mobicycle together the past couple months and its now in ride able form with modern rims and tires, its my best riding prewar bike, very light yet feels solid...

I have only ridden one shaft drive bike but it was not in great shape and was very clunky in the gears so about 30 feet I got off and walked it back and I agree with the others being hard to find parts as I have been looking for a rear hub for years to complete a Pierce but the only one I found...

I just service the crank on my Iver, the race was very tight on the crank and since I did not have the correct spanner I used a punch and hammer to get it loose but I have used a pipe wrench on them in the past ..leaves a few marks though. I built the wheels using New Departure hubs with the...

I have a slightly less than perfect one in my collection I may part with, no red celluloid backing and some wear around the upper mounting holes and a slight bend on one side as seen in the pics uncleaned. If it interests you pm me an offer ! Mark

a friend has this 1910 or so Pierce bike but its missing the rear wheel so I am on the hunt for a wheel or just the hub. If anyone has one they are willing to part with let me know ! Thanks Mark

PM sent , I'll take it let me know the particulars ! Mark

Hello Cabbers, here's another for the list . I was told it was a '28 Iver Mobicycle but since its my first Iver I have no clue . Ser. # 481023 Its a work in progress. Mark

Not quite finished building this Mobicycle but the wheels are done ! I'll put up pics of the bike here in the near future. Mark

Those pics are like a bad drug, just makes me want more ! Mark

Very nice , "thanks for the tease" !:cool: Mark

This might be for you ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Replaceable-Valves-for-Single-Tube-High-Pressure-TOC-1890s-1920s-Bike-Schrader-/171661761433?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f7d69b99 Mark

Chrome don't get ya home but it sure looks nice with black paint ! A classic Schwinn for sure and one of my favorite bikes ! Mark

Thought I might show a bit more of this build as it include a trailer made from an old bed frame and a shipping crate..Recycle ! Click the pic, even the dog got to ride in it ! Mark

A bike I cobbled together this past Summer using parts from my junk pile ! Some of you may have seen this one already . Mark

Thanks for all the replies , so at least one of the calculators I used was close at 288.7 for the rear and 291.4 for the front ! I stopped at my buddies shop today and there were the rims so I had him order the spokes , now to get the paint work done. Mark

Thanks Vince , I'll give that one a try ! Nice Mead one of these days I'll get around to the Mead Arch bar in the pile ! Mark

Thanks guys ! That is a nice looking bike Mike and the wheels go great with the frame color...Classy ! Mark

Hello Cabers , I have finally started working on my 28ish Iver Mobicycle and the wood clad wheels are a mess so ordered up a pair of Velocity Blunt 700 35s 36 hole and will lace them to New Departure D and W hubs. I have tried a couple different spoke calcs on the web but I am getting different...

I need $11,000.00 for them ;) How about $11.00 shipped priority mail ! PM your addy or post it here and I'll get them in the mail tomorrow Joe ! Mark

Hello Joe, all cleaned up one is good the other starting to pit slightly though I have used cups in worse shape !

Hard part to come by so I usually grind a standard crown to fit...its an option ! Mark

Nice starting point Joe , I don't see the head badge. I knocked the cups out of the frame and have them soaking in some cleaner as they have a thick layer of dried on grease. I'll get back to you when I have them cleaned up ! Mark

Hello Joe, I have a frame in the pile with the cups but I dont know if they are any good but I can check after work and get back to you. Mark

Sorry Bill, over a hundred kickstands and the only round face is internal spring on an Iver Johnson girls frame just not what your looking for but I gave it the old college try! Mark

Bill , I'll be in the kickstand box later today so look for that one along with the one I need for my Murray project. Round face, external spring, slight curve in the middle 13" overall .. Mark

kick stands galore I have a box full but what they fit ?? If you can post a pic of the one you need and its length I will look for it, Mark

Well I opened this thread thinkin I have a DX frame to part with but after reading down the page its now not for sale ! Hoarder ??? yep I fit that description sometimes :rolleyes:

Nice project you have their though something looks odd about the top tube to steer tube placement , looks a bit low . Mark

Michael that's good to hear , I included the driver as it looked to be in good shape and makes for an easy install and I didn't have to hassle taking it apart in the vise ! Works good for both of us ! Mark

New Departure model D hub ? I have several 11 tooth cogs for various hubs . I can see what I have after work today ! here's a couple Mark

so I did not have a new one ,I do have this pair if they are correct I have a later one without the slot but this is what most D hubs use. a little tooth wear but usable, I rolled a chain around them with no issues. Mark

I'm sure I have more than one of those , I have a 200# box full of ND model D hubs and parts ! I can look after work today ..let me know if you still are in need . Mark

Thanks for the replies, I did not think to look at past sales on ebay just current listings. I gave a purfectly good used pair of them away a short while back and these new replacements are going to get used on a hot rod wagon in the near future for the Grandson to ride in ! Mark

I have two pair of Hansen Cycle works wheels and no real clue as what they are truely worth . Searching the web has led me a stray with prices from $75.00 to $150.00 for one wheel, seems way to much to me so I am hopeing someone here could set me straight on real world values for these nos...

The setup looks nice but since I have never used a roller brake I would like to know how well it works . So does it have good stoping power ? Mark

Welcome to the CABE , like most here I am a firm beleiver in leaveing bikes original but on the other hand I also like custom bikes ! A bendix auto (a little more original for a Schwinn) probably cost as much as the Murray as a whole, so build what you want and enjoy the ride. Mark

The Schwinn is easy find the serial number on the left rear dropout. web search the number. The other bike is a Murray built bike I believe Hiawatha was a Gambles dept. store brand but I dont know Murrays that well. Mark
