What bike did you work on today?

Interesting drop outs, I wonder what the extra slots were for...?

I think they where just cosmetic.

This is the first NOS bike I have ever built . According to the original receipt this is a 1992 Rocking rider BMX bike . The original box was so tattered I decided todays the day the bike gets built . View attachment 1728770View attachment 1728770

Does this design allow adjustment of the amount of "Rock" you want?😳

That's pretty cool!✌️

That's what I was thinking, some sort of eccentric hub adjustment.

Google the name of that bike. There’s a YouTube video with a kid riding one. That adjustment makes the wheels roll outta round.

This is another Rat Rod bikes Winter build off bike in the Skinny tire category. Called Roaring 1930s Winged Wheel Arch bar. The tire size had to be under 26” by 1 1/2 to qualify. This bike was just a frame, fork , Seat post, and crank with chain ring when I bought the bike. I had to fix one small frame tube split . And straighten the fork. So far so good . Everything else I had to find including the badge. I was lucky to have most of the parts needed on hand. The metal wheels are prewar. Original wheels would have been wood . Even the tires are NOS 1940s? This bike is not finished but a good start for today.

I hadn't seen a production "clown bike" until this.

1964 Schwinn Typhoon got different fork, stem, wheels, tires, tubes & pedals just in time for winter weather storage

Took apart my 43 Roadmaster and broke a bolt inside the fork. Ugh. Also can't seem to unfreeze this one under the front fender.

Penetrating oil is your friend. Get a longer bolt or punch and tap the wedge down away from the stem. It should start twisting after that.

The 1951 Monark Super Deluxe "Forest Green" survivor is done!
The only parts that needed to be replaced were the Headlight Lens and Tires. Some hard work went into this one but worth every minute. Very pleased with this one.
