    1901-1904 Racycle

    I can’t quite see the process. Would you shoot me a pic privately? The rails on modern seats are 2” and the one that this 1898 clamp fits is 1.5” or so. Thank you in advance.

    1901-1904 Racycle

    That’s the trouble. Nothing modern in my parts bins will adapt. It’s frustrating. I have a ‘71 Super Course with original B15 that would look gorgeous on it but won’t fit the small diameter horizontal stem mount.

    Anyone actually riding their antique bikes?

    I don’t ride the open road or hills but sure is fun around town. In our small town I’ll be riding the July 4th parade. 1898 Glenwood

    Colnago super campagnolo

    Restore that babe. I have a ‘77 that is a crowd pleaser. You just don’t see many of these older ones. Nice steal!

    What saddles fit this kind of post? My 1898 Glenwood has the same situation (would rather preserve the beat up original). Thanks!

    ‘84 Univega Alpina Uno

    I was given this Alpina Uno about 5 years ago by the original owner and is in really great shape. This is my oldest MTB.

    1974 Colnago Super

    Not many old Colnago’s floating around out there. Not hard to get on ebay of course, I mean just try to find one locally. I have guys on the sidewalk cheering me as I ride by. One guy asked to have an impromptu photo session. Your yellow specimen is gorgeous!

    1974 Colnago Super

    I bought it from the original owner that built it from a frameset and raced it in the Jr Mens setting a Michigan record in 1978. He put it into storage and finally sold it to me after pestering him for 4 years.

    What bikes did you add in 2019

    Though not as active as most of you and only added one bike, I was rather excited to roll this 1898ish Glenwood in from a barn for Christmas last year. It’s now quite rideable and ready for festivities this summer.

    So who prefers to "Preserve the Crust"?

    Mine were so petrified I used a hacksaw but stopped short of knicking into the wood rim.

    Is this an Oscar Wastyn Track Bike?

    That is one sweet find. Have you weighed the frameset? Looks very purpose built for the day.

    Wheel building class..How much would you pay?

    Similar to your path, lacing wheels wasn’t something I saw myself doing but then came the journey this wood rimmed bike took me. A few vids and away I went. I agree, do it a few times (even if on the same wheel () and it gets easier.

    Wheel building class..How much would you pay?

    No, heck no. He sounds like an infomercial on a biking channel. Youtube is your friend. Be patient. You don’t have to be the village expert. But it helps.

    So who prefers to "Preserve the Crust"?

    To each his own. I would have paid 200.00 or a bit more and rode it home with a grin. Guy must have been a flipper.

    So who prefers to "Preserve the Crust"?

    I prefer to clean the grease, mud and dust from the frame, mostly. A blend of clean and patina. If there is a rusty frame, it’s beyond help, just leave it. before: After:

    New Departure Model A on a 1897 Model 17?

    Mine was one of them. It has a very early Atherton coaster brake hub that has a 1907 pat date. Whoever bought it loved to go fast. The irony? They called them safety bikes and many had no brakes.

    New Departure Model A on a 1897 Model 17?

    Very nice! Gotta love barn finds and when you see what could be hidden away and forgotten, it will make you slow down and stare at barns from a distance.

    Wooden Rims Questions

    I used tape for the first time on this project. With this kind of build I wanted a different approach. Glue is my preference for my other racers. Building a wooden wheelset is vastly different in detail. Thick rims with unforgiving spoke/nipple hole angles etc. Finally ended up truing from...

    riders, racing, pacing

    All my bikes are racers, starting with the 1898ish Glenwood with large sprocket, Pirate rat traps, semi-drop bars and weighs only 25.5lbs with tool pouch. Definately in the scorcher classification. Bell still works. -love this pic:

    Here's the thing.

    A few years back I bought an ‘81 Huffy Aerowind for 5bucks at a yard sale. Why? Novelty. I hate Huffy’s but this fully intact 40lb BSO with the odd tubes, brakes and everything else, just had to go home with me.

    Glenwood (1898?) Barn Find

    Being a weight-weenie of the 70s and 80s era racers, I curious put the Glenwood on the scales. It weighed in at 25.5lbs. I was guessing 28 until I rolled it out for a shakedown ride. Had no idea these were that light. I weighed it with the tool pouch on it.

    Glenwood (1898?) Barn Find

    This gem may well have been pitched in a dumpster except that the home inspector being a bike guy saw it stuffed in the barn. Crazy stuff. It’s a keeper. Here is a quick shot of the progress as of today. Labor of love, this is.
