Riding Tips For Classic Antique Bicycles | General Discussion About Old Bicycles

I looked for a thread for riders to post tips for other riders who are wanting to learn from other experienced riders. I remember reading some stuff from members here on threads scattered about; stuff I think about when I'm out there for more than 45 minutes straight; trail riding. I need to do...

Steve set me up.
He is taking pics os Hippie Mike and I; He points his camera a direction I merely followed.
I ended up looking down a vertical drop of probably 6'
I didn't crash, I pulled it off, except for the long duck-tail fender caught the edge.
Steve was not upset then, or after he fixed it perfectly, where only the story is left.:eek:
I did apologize to Steve.
He said, "Let's do it again sometime".
This bike is different than your bikes.
Steve said I could ride it.
Thanks any way for your vote.
It was the Robin!!:eek:

I didn't even put my hands on the OG grips on the Bluebird....

Ya, no on the guard. Less weight, looks tougher, less to go terribly wrong at abandoned swimming pools.

I vote nay on the guard cause I want it for my 38
Killer project! I have a men's sprocket if you want it. I love the Duomatic, it is my favorite hub.

Don’t worry, Mark. Not upset, EVER, about it. I do enjoy all the ball-busting that goes along with it though, so I’ll apologize for perpetuating the story. It is a matter of time before I’m taking photos of you on the NewBird. Thanks for being a good sport, Friend!

Thanks to a couple cabe members, I have the opportunity to revive another early bluebird frame. Here’s how it arrived. Bent like a banana, rusty, some twisted tubing, rotted top tube to seat tube joint, freeze/split fork blades, 52 extra holes, and some missing parts. View attachment 1232942

I've finally gotten around to seeing what's happened to the frame I had found ... I'm glad it ended up with you for the restore

 

[Kal clark]

Ok... I need some honest opinions. Yay or nay on the chain guard? One “nay” already documented.

Wow. Just wow it looks great with or without out
I'm headed out to the farm where I found it in it's "bullet holed-moter missing -split fork- barn find-bluebird" next weekend ...I'm going to show the family what it looks like now. I'm sure they will be blown away with what you were able to do. I'm glad it was able to get back it's soul , wonderful stuff seeing the whole process .
