YEP!

Although it seems that most of the time 36 holes are what's available. So if you need a 32...buy it while you can!

love the info

Hey guys new to the forum- I recently also picked up a 1917 cheif bicycle that I'm getting into riding shape- Been into English bikes for awhile now have been wanting to do a american 28" wheeled bike to ride with my roadster buddys- Your cheif threads have been very helpfull and I will post some pics soon- Have all the parts just about together but I'm thinking this build will be fenderless. Building the wheels now and hope to have it out on the streets in the next couple weeks!

My 1917 Chief- My main goal was to build this one for putting in the miles- Nothing like mashing on a group ride with a bunch of roadies when they ask " hey man what year is that thing" - Turned out to be a nice riding bicycle- On to the next project!!!

Buddy, Your Chief came out great. It does look like a great rider & bet it does get some stares being a 1917 rider!!!!!!!! Love seeing those SA Tricoaster hubs in working condition. No progress on mine, too much work right now. Trying to finish my 27' Stutz & can't even find time to work on it. Hopefully I can get back on both fall/winter.
