today I worked on this old English bike, I have no idea of the year or make. Had to rebuild the the freewheel as the pawl springs had stretched over the years. Made new ones from bobby pins. I took it for a ride, it works well.
Today I pumped up the tires on 6 bikes, a 53 Phantom, 61 and 62 Continental, 62 Corvette 5 speed, 55 Corvette Double Down Tube and 61 Fair Lady. That's about all I can handle in a day.
Finally got this Spyder ready for it's first ride since probably the '70's. Quickly found that I need to find a shorter crank....
It had a 115mm crank, just barely longer than the chainring. Tried a 175mm crank. Too long. No biggie. 20 minutes(when I have it) will have that issue resolved.
Well I’m not going for perfection here but I wanted to blend the fender tip in on my old Shelby. Then I finished the brackets for my dog’s box. I’m calling this one done, it rides really smooth. I’ve had fun tinkering in the garage
I put new tires and a new chain on this old spyder. Also had to reglue a pad to the shoe on the drum brake and Adjust the derailer with a small hammer. I will find out how well it worked when the snow is gone. And I added the goofy golf ball valve caps
Here is a good straight 30's Shelby fork!. Special design sastrugi-style. Tracks straight and looks great! Actually, this is the result after an accident and after I disassembled the bike. If anyone has a mens or women's flat crowned Shelby fork that is straight and undamaged, let me know..thanks..pete
