No pictures (hands were too dirty to pick up my phone for picture) but I disassembled, cleaned up 57 years of old hardened grease, re-greased, and reassembled a three red band hub today. Lo and behold, it works.
Good afternoon Caber’s! Worked on several projects today. First is a seat that I’m doing for Jesus! Ran out of spray adhesive so I wasn’t able to put the hand stitched cover on the pan yet. The second is a wheel driven bell on Applesauces bike. Sounds pretty cool! The third was putting a seat on my early 46 dx project
After posting this bike last about 8 days ago, and while reviewing photos. I realized I polished the whole bike up, and missed the inside of one spoke.
I just polished that spoke, and it is now all cleaned up.
I removed the non stock parts off of this 1960 Rollfast labeled Frankenbike. First the Brooks saddle.
I applied Mcquire's leather cleaner and conditioner three times and now , parts of the mounting hardware soaking in citrus acid.
Removed the Schwinn rims and schwinn tires.
I also removed the non factory fender light as well. I found some drop center rims in my stockpile and put them on, so I I can just roll it around. One day I might buy some tires and tubes.
Don't know really what to think of this bike. I have found very little on the web about this full tanked.I did find this ad from 1959
Started on aging-down these Robert Dean tires. A couple people have mentioned tea staining these but no one has posted pictures with this treatment. Can someone please show how this looks. Does anyone know if these change color with uv light exposure?
