What bike did you work on today?

[3-speeder]

I put a new set of cream Schwalbe tires on my '39 Royal Imperial light roadster. Found a good deal on EU eBay and ordered two pair from Germany. Nice price but shipping was pert-near 8 weeks. I like the cream color on a roadster. Hoping the tubes hold up for a good long time because between the rod brakes and the chain tensioners on the rear forks changing tires ain't easy. Now just gotta wait for spring.... Ugh!

Tried out the ultrasonic cleaner my Dad gave me for Christmas last year & spent the past couple afternoons polishing parts for the Super Seraph.

Just refurbishing a 1938 Autocycle, that’s about it

Had this 74 Raleigh 20” Folder in the “To Do” pile too long so it’s on the work stand for an overdue refurb for the Missus who is 5’2”

Finally started working on my '41 Excelsior badged schwinn...

Well sort of... Building a new set of wheels for it and broke down, cleaned and lubed the (new) New Departure Blackout hubs... The front is NOS the rear is in decent shape but needed some love. Blasted all of the fossilized grease and passed all the discs over 800 grit..oiled them and lubed it up. Was able to bring back the script by rubbing some white dupli color into it a few times... I knew I would catch a few of the scratches as well but think it turned out pretty well. Next just need to break the bike down and clean and grease and this baby will be back on the road

Clean hub...

The 1939 Monark Rocket Motorbike, "Patina Monster Roadster", is coming along nicely. Lots to still do, but mixing original patina with bare metal work accents on the harder to find parts is going well.
