***Hurricane Coaster November ride***

I Really like the Higgins truss rod setup so at least 2 of those, don't have to be mint as painting would be Ok, Columbia springer, deep or peaked 26" fenders that are workable, and a decent dog leg crank for a '50s Monark. Had to cut mine to disassemble & grease . If anybody rebuilds wheels I would love to get some of the O.G wheels redone too. 1 thing I haven't learned to do but I may someday

you sure your Monark had a dogleg crank? That was generally a prewar thing. What are you wanting to put the fenders on? See ya Sunday morning! V/r Shawn

Yeah it was a dog leg (unfortunately somebody welded a pedal to the side that had to come out to clean/grease the crank bearings (stupidity pissed me off so I took the saws all to it) after finding out the neck on the forks was tightened so tight it had blown through where it had already been blazed once from the looks of it. She fought tooth for tooth but now I have decided I would like to keep as many original era pieces & add vintage parts to my "custom" builds. As for the fenders ; what won't I put them on ???

I may be at the HC ride if the planets align.

I run a bike shop in Albemarle (about 45 miles east of Charlotte) and can rebuild your wheels...been working in bike shops since '72. Reach out to me with a PM here on your needs and I will be glad to help.

I sent you a PM Jimbo53. Fenders look awesome. I can't tell you and the rest of the guys how amazed I am already at pretty much complete strangers welcoming me into their hobby, teaching me & being willing to pass on some parts to help me build these clunkers.
