What bike did you work on today?

Switched tanks and guards and turned my Hawthorne Twin Beam into the Deluxe Flyer

I swapped the fork on my 68 Typhoon today removing the chrome bmx fork for the forged fork and truss rods I had previously fitted to my 51 Panther.

Time to build the rear wheel to my '71 Super Sport. 306mm and 308mm spokes , rebuilt and polished Schwinn Approved French hub and a cleaned and polished alloy rim. ( and of course the cat has to find out what's going on)

Look...a ferris wheel. A few hours, the wheel is laced and trued and prestressed.

Dishing the wheel. Confusion sets in. Which side do I tighten or loosen to move to center the hub???

But I figured it out (Thanks Park Tool video ) Good to go now.

Spoke tension within 15% variant. View attachment 1594463

Awaiting for my tires to show up.

Note : This wheel assembly does not meet what some consider an acceptable 0.5mm runout. (0.1mm for new high end wheels)
I am satisfied with my +/- 2mm.
50 year old rim and hub.. let's be for real.

Good evening Caber’s!
Finally have the tank installed on the 46 Schwinn world imperial. Ordered the bits and pieces to get the light working. Also got the raised letter AS bolt from lounging (a fellow caber). Coming along nicely!

Was a fun day! We had 4 bike clubs turn out for the parade. Our club…Rusty Relics has been ride with the 925 bike life crew for about the last year or so. Their mostly all riding the stretched modern custom bikes. They’ve all put a lot of time money and effort in to their rides. Really fun crew to ride with! Been working on getting more people on the old school bikes like ours to join us on these rides! Would love to see some Caber’s join in!!
