So there's 20" and 26" originals?
I'm excited to be getting this modern made frame from Brant! I'm going to make it functional and have fun. Still looking for an original but I saved many Thousands of Dollars by buying this and I'll have just as much fun! I've enjoyed reading about these bikes and continue to do so. They are so unique! They go along great with my Glidacycles too!

Long ago, an Alexander Rocket Bicycle was in my possession.
Frame, vertical fork and original badge. No paint anywhere.

First thing noticed was the nakedness of the crankcase -- perched
on the Southern end of a massive seat mast - no chainstays or
downtube to interfere while visually processing.

And that's when the idea of an oversized chainring first occurred.

But, years later .........

The Rocket had left the building ... first to Bob Charnley ....
then to Jerry Germeau.

Never got to see what an oversized chainring might look like --
powering The Rocket over the boulevards of a small Ohio town.

A mystery to me (afterthought) is the lack of conversation about
a potential chainring for a Rocket.

Now, don't get me wrong. I used to hear plenty about chainring
design ... but nothing about SIZE.


From the Late-80's to this very day -- there have been no surprises
presented in the chainring area of the Paris Texas Rocket Bicycle.

Just 'til you get your own vintage, big chainring .....

Right now on ebay are a few 65-T .. half-inch pitch, 1/8-inch width 1970's era,
Schwinn Exerciser ''Sprockets'' priced from $13 to $50-plus each.


A 24-T / 26-T rear cog that fits your hub might work nicely.
