Phrank Vee
Finally riding a big boys bike
Apologies for this rant. I have been playing with bikes for 6 years. Not a lot of time, i know. Im always happy about learning about vintage bikes, and have been addicted. To be honest, i decided after today all i want is to collect them, and ride them. Attempting to fix, manipulate, fabricate, bend, rip apart, adjust is just not my thing. Im 99% done with this 1950 Roadmaster.
Last part is the chain. LSS...Chain is too short. Bought some skip tooth links to add, that didn't work. Taking links off old and attempting to add to current thats not working. Local bike shop didnt have a clue. I dont own a vice, I should, I know!
I feel like ghost riding this bike into traffic and calling it a day is my frustration level!
Should i just buy a 54” skip tooth? Is that the correct size for a 26” Mens Roadmaster? Do i need special links to attach? What do i need to do to be finished with this?
Any help, sale of, advice, i will take it.
Thanks Cabers/Bike Therapists!
