What bike did you work on today?

[New Mexico Brant]

Added a kickstand and Torrington 8’s to this 1937 CWC Speedking so I can offer it for sale.

Going thru a preservation of this ladies 36 Colson. So far it’s been completely disassembled, all painted parts cleaned/waxed, bearings and hubs cleaned and greased along with repairing a few broken bits in the rear morrow hub and bottom bracket. Also started truing the wheel set and getting some of Johns great tires mounted. Getting close.

I worked on my Dayton Badged Firestone Fleetwood by swapping seats ( was an original small coil spring Mesinger), put a patina original (Mesinger long spring) pan/top and re-sprayed the bottom, blasted/painted springs, than put a cleaned up 4 battery tray ( bike came with an empty tank/seller made good/sent parts) horn unit and wired so the horn works. Tank was sealed and painted so tray was not able to be grounded ( was tacked in factory). I ran a ground from the rear terminal, replaced the Delta button, and with some trial and lots of errors, now have a working horn. I don't think I'll wire the Silver rays in, wouldn't have a clue on the schematics, although I did add a switch to tank bottom. I put a 6 rib EA NOS handlebar light on the bars ( Bicyclebones) and have another NOS coming from Bad Bob, so will be dual. It seems a shame to hide the putter stem with the Teacup housing for the Clipper speedo ( stock set up) then the Dual EA's, but the speed lines on the lights match the tank, so what the hey?

I made good use of the short spring Mesinger and put it on a 1939 CCM Motorbikes I picked up last week. That tall frame and HUGE 28 inch wheels will cover ground. Streets are ice here now, so that test drive will have to wait until Spring. I'll add some nicer Gibson pedals, detail it out a bit, service the bottom bracket and headset with new grease. These bikes ( I've owned several, one almost mint) are not fancy, but a true CCM ( Canadian Cycle and Motor Company) classic.

I also put a nice NOS EA horn ( Bicyclebones) on my '49 Mercury Super Deluxe Fleetline to match the NOS rear axle lights. I dig it. It's HUGE like a bomb.

It's been a good week for bike projects.

Put a rollfast speedo on the 38 rollfast. I love the font on this thing. I'll get a cable and driver for it eventually......probably try to find one locally.

Tried to clean up this heap.... Wax/grease/clean up...... Saga continues, but close. My humble submission...

 

[Junkman Bob]

Worked on my 40 Meade Crusader
Put on some roller rims so easier to move and store ...i have to dig in rim pile of mine to find a proper set.
Needs some parts yet but i just wanted to get it to at least look like a bike .

Worked in cleaning more of the black and white paint off of the 1940 Shelby long tank. Original blue and white paint is pretty rough in spots but should look pretty good when I'm done.

Nothing historical....just put some tires and made a few adjustments for a co worker pal. This is a one owner ... dude bought it new at Montgomery Wards in Dearborn Michigan 1986ish. It’s a solid bike! It’s no Schwinn Continental but a solid rider! See more in bike prices open talk thread!
