What bike did you work on today?

[Dope54]

Been working on this . Still need some more rides on her to dial it in

Good evening Caber’s!
We took the 34,46,and 54 to the good guys car show and swap meet today! It was a blast riding them there today!!

Added the new tiller bars and a set of repop Union pedals to the ’84. I like the unfinished look of the bars on this bike and may keep them this way, when I was originally thinking black powder coat. Rides fast and comfortable.

The last pic shows the surprise peanut shell that emerged from the bars I took off of this rescue. Laughed like hell when I saw it fall out with the rest of the dirt. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen inside an old bike? Might need a separate thread for that!

Made some good progress today. Rode it for first time, then came back and made a bunch of changes.

Looking good Mike!! Love the treatment you put on the Kooka cranks. At first glace at the first pic I thought one of the changes you made after your ride was to bolt the fork of an orange & blue bike to the rear axle.

Arrow by F. A. Baker New York Racing Model Circa 1920s?​

Just disassembled and cleaned the bottom bracket and crankset, replaced the bearings with period parts, lubed up a replacement section of chain. Discovered the handlebars are stamped - 29. Found a nicer set of complete 28", period wood wheels (not shown). It's getting there. Will update with progress.

In search of a more complete saddle and some period rat trap pedals, Brampton's 1/2" axles possibly? PM DIRECT IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING PLEASE. Thanks!

Did some soaking and light cleaning. Replaced the saddle, wood wheels and tires. Added some old grips I had in a drawer.

Been working on this old Huffy "Fury" for the last couple of days. Tore it all down, cleaned and greased every bearing in it except for the pedals (will mess with those later). The Bendix Aviation 2 speed was time consuming but is also the main reason that I bought the bike. Added a new set of tires and it is on the road again!

Today I cleaned the hubs , crank , headset & chain . Brake discs & transfer spring were toast

Making some more progress On the psycho truck klunker. I rolled it out on the front range today for a few miles. Ordered a bunch of new stuff, made some more adjustments when I got it back to the shop.
