    REDUCED Moving sale! Just $100 for 38 Huffman frame, Spaceliner + more. NorCal pickup only.

    @Cda_Cruisers PM sent on Monday, don't know if there is something wrong with the system. $65 shipped for the stem, you've got first dibs, but let me know if you aren't interested, a few others have messaged me.

    REDUCED Moving sale! Just $100 for 38 Huffman frame, Spaceliner + more. NorCal pickup only.

    Thanks! It was my favorite of all my builds to ride. The 2.4” wide tires were cushy on the rough local roads but it had 48/14 gears, 20 mph was a low rpm affair. I’ll get some pics of that tank up!

    Hi guys! Long story short, I'm looking to unload my whole collection of parts. If it fits in a priority box I will ship it, but the frames and other large parts are for local pickup only in Napa, CA. There are a few pictures below, but there is more, I'd be willing to unload all of my parts and...

    Munched up binder tabs, any solutions?

    I'm putting together a 38 Huffman frame and the seat post binder tabs are brazed on to the frame. Problem is they are 75 years old and have been adjusted too many times and don't hold the seat post. tightening the bolt only bends the tabs and bolts. I heard rumor of a seat post size that is...

    "Hellaion" (Nor Cal Tribute), First Ride! 6/22

    Re: Nor Cal Tribute assembly progress 6/21 Thanks for all the comments everyone! I'm gonna have to try the c clamp trick, sounds better than my fender washers on a long bolt.

    "Hellaion" (Nor Cal Tribute), First Ride! 6/22

    She's got legs! First flight today and boy does she have legs! 48/14 gears with a coaster brake gets pretty scary when you get to the top end of the gears, i'm guessing something north of 20mph. Nothing but the usual fitment issues on the shake down ride, tighten this and that and some minor...

    '59 Kolumbia Klunker..Test ride...and DONE !!!

    Re: '59 Kolumbia Klunker..need help with 7speed When i was setting up my Nexus 3 i was told by the mechanic at my LBS that factory set ups are typically 2 to 1 front to rear. So with your 22t cog in back you'd want a 44t up front. I was running 46/21 and the gearing was good for general use...

    Re: Nor Cal Tribute Mock Up 6/10 No paint today, the humidity was up and the temperature was down, that good old June gloom. After driving all over town looking for a wing decal to use for painting i decided to poke around at the local lumber yard after being disappointed by the chain stores...
