    Penny the iron horse

    With the bars forward enough, in ain't half bad. May put a hub motor in back. What's the best way to hide dents, tube wraps?

    Re: Cranbrook N.H.B 2-25-12 update Sorry, Its been a while due to having Son #2 and a house renovation that just won't quit. (Ok, get off the pity train) Here is my first try at a leaf spring fork. The pivot is 1/4 by 1.5in steel bar sandwiched between skate bearings. I drilled the holes...

    Cranbrook no holds barred

    Re: Cranbrook no holds barred update1 So I broke out the dremel and released the seat clamp from its spot welded perch. I cut down the seat tube, but I left a little tongue to possibly screw the seat to. I drilled the seat cross bar and screwed it to where the fender was. Now the...

    Lurker comes clean

    First I took off the fenders. Then I flipped the bars and put the seat bolt through the binder. What the heck, I put a banana seat and some apes on there and called it gorilla style. All of them look pretty horrible. It will go back to better boardtrack version soon. Pay no attention to the...

    Lurker comes clean

    Thanks, Fireproof. You and your daughter are quite inspiring. Well, I often come to Sacto for the tweed rides (like this Sunday). I would love to go on some cruises too. I will try to drag Lancer with me.

    Here goes. Geebear from Modesto, Ca. I am a bicycle enthusiast of many types. I have been designing a bike for over a year now, collecting donor bikes along the way. I have a 70's Hawthorn that has gone from Boardtrack to Gorilla and back. I plan to start my frame up build this summer...
