    Bikes on bridges

    New thread: bikes completely dominating bridges. That is one bad looking bike.

    Show Me Your Worksman Trike

    PS: the battery array was just something I had wanted to do since seeing someone else on YouTube do a similar project years ago when Li ioan ebike batteries were still very costly. It would be cheaper today to buy a purpose built ebike battery, but I lucked into 8 Dewalt knockoff 20V batteries...

    Show Me Your Worksman Trike

    I picked this gem up on CL, but it was not recognizable as the same trike shown here. It was spray painted blue, had wobbly rear wheels, 3 mismatched tires, and rusty handlebars. The frame was slightly bent, not enough to hurt anything - I consider that kind of a badge of honor dedicated to...

    Ironhorse Warrior info - derailleur hanger, year, etc?

    Capt Awesome - Thanks! I kept working at it and found it was derailleur hanger 77. Funny, I've found it for as little as $13 and as much as $32. I figured this bike was pre-2006, but I've found various references that don't fully match it for the exact model and year. In any event, thanks...

    Ironhorse Warrior info - derailleur hanger, year, etc?

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can point me at some resources. I've googled to no avail. I recently obtained an Ironhorse Warrior frame - it has a Manitou fork, hydraulic disc brakes, frame serial number is 06H0000260. I'm trying to determine year and exact model. This is a full...

    Modest build - my new Electra based tricycle

    It can be hard to see black on black items, so I outlined the right rear end of the Electra frame to make it easier to discern frame from axle kit. This is where I drilled out the long tear drop shaped drop out to lower the bike frame and stretch the overall assembly slightly.

    Modest build - my new Electra based tricycle

    Okay, progress photos... Here's my trike alongside my wife's Worksman. I still have some hanging cables as I wait for the last part, the LCD controller, to arrive. Once I have that, I'll finalize the cable runs and secure the loose stuff.

    Modest build - my new Electra based tricycle

    Hey, all, I have not been around much lately - have just gotten involved in other things - but I'm working on a project that is almost done. I'll post some pix in the next couple of days. I bought a Dream Bike 7 speed tricycle conversion kit about a year ago and have been slowly working my way...

    1962 Schwinn Typhoon double straight bars black

    I've had my fun with this, and getting too many bikes in my garage. It's a black 62 Typhoon double straight bar bike in very decent restorable condition. Absolutely firm at $150 plus shipping with a very strong preference for a face to face direct hand-off rather than shipping so buyer can...

    Help: Schwinn Stem Pinch Bolt SIZE

    I appreciate the advice, but are you sure the stem uses UN rather than BSF? There seems to be no slop, seems to fit perfect. I'm not "disputing" here, I'm asking the sincere question, I'd be fascinated to know if it's UN or BSF. I actually went through charts like you're showing, trying to...

    Help: Schwinn Stem Pinch Bolt SIZE

    Rusty one... thanks. I just got my shipment of 3/8-20 BSF bolts, they thread into my old Schwinn stems and tighten down like a dream, much better than my last couple of original bolts that have some thread damage. I can't imagine that tapping the old ones would make them fail, these old...

    Help: Schwinn Stem Pinch Bolt SIZE

    Ancient thread, never answered here. I'm looking for the same info, a 10 mm 1.25 nut seems to fit the bolt but a little loose. I believe it is a actually a 3/8-20 tip bolt, which is hard as heck to find? 3/8-20 works out extremely close to M10-1.25, maybe 0.3 mm off on thread pitch over the...

    Cleveland Welding Lagniappe

    Oh, man, this is coming along beautifully. I also liked the little side trip where you were thinking about the 20 inch front wheel, but this is going to look amazing no matter how you go with it. I did not expect the number plates. That takes this in a great direction I did not see coming.

    8 Chicago Schwinns $50

    I had not been watching CL, because I have too many bikes. (Too many for my wife, I mean, one can never have too many bikes, right?) I checked in to CL a couple weeks ago and stumbled onto an ad for "8 Chicago Schwinns $50, take them all or take nothing." That was a little too tempting to...

    Worksman Trike Mods

    Thanks, Luke. My greatest skill is putting more money into a bike than it's worth when I'm done with it. But hey, everybody should have at least three bikes, and what matters is enjoying them all. Yes, bender, I actually WAS surprised at how much stronger the vee brake is. Could be a...

    Worksman Disappointment.

    If anybody runs into this problem again, I've got a spare alloy front rim with drum brake taken off a brand new PortoTrike to install a motor wheel. It has literally less than a mile on it. First thing I did when I got the trike was take it apart after riding to make sure it was all good...
