What bike did you work on today?

-
Working on my tandem wheels. I have never worked on an 82 year old bike with wheels this clean. I removed all the spokes to clean off the silver paint , with out the use of any tools!! Yes my fingers. A pleasure to work on something well preserved.
Any recommendations for a good tire for a Colson tandem . The original tires hold air,and very nice. I don’t want to risk damaging them

You pulled the spokes without a wrench?
 
Good evening Caber’s! Took the 1940 dx out for it’s first trip around the block! Who knows how many decades this bike sat for! The chain is still not happy about having to work again! Lol

Started breaking this special machine down.
1898 'Quadrant' ladies Chainless bicycle.
It's going to need a frame tube replacing and fork reconstruction/replacement.
You may think it's a crazy idea, but there are only 5 other known survivors, the others are in museums, this one will get ridden.....

@John for a set of his chain treads. V/r Shawn
 
Bought a Phantom project over the weekend and today is the day to build the wheels for it. They were completely disassembled for cleaning, so I finished most of the cleaning and now I’m building wheels. Rear is done, front is waiting on me cleaning up the spokes
