Worked on the wife’s tandem today, finally figured out the loose headset issue. The stem height was exactly equal to the shim stack height, so zero preload! Easily fixed with the addition of a 2mm shim to the stack.

The motorcycle shop stand is great for working on this big brute! I think I’m going to use it to park this thing rather than always leaning it again something.

Completed the faux finish on one of the 700C wheels for my 23. Came out good enough that I totally fooled my wife. Lol.

Rims were silver originally.
painted black, painted red, hand distressed, custom mixed light brown, custom mixed dark brown, mixed red all applied with cotton balls and foam.

I’m building a budget klunker using this 1936 Schwinn built BFG frame with parts from a couple of early 80’s mountain bikes. It will have a Sturmey Archer freewheel drum brake hub, front crank set with 3 chainrings and a rear derailleur as a chain tensioner.

The bike was stripped of its parts by someone else and I only got the frame and a few small parts with it including the head badge. It has a damaged down tube that would need to be replaced for a correct restoration but it isn’t necessary for the build I’m doing.
