I built a bike this winter that just had to have disk wheels. It started as a new Cranbrook from Walmat. I looked into many things to get a nice "spun aluminum" looking wheel from the $300 :shock: Mooneyes to aluminum pizza plates the end of a disel fuel tank........just couldn't make...

I ran an E-Bike kit, 26" 500w brushless front hub, direct drive on 36 volts worth of SLA's. I had it on a Schwinn OCC chopper all last summer and it did better than I thought it would but didn't like the hills around here. It is now set up on a old Huffy Ocala step through for my friends wife...

This is a 1940 J.C.Higgins I built for my wife. I was able to use the original wheels, Skip tooth chain and crank, Chain guard, Fenders, Handle bars and stem. The fenders needed a lot of pounding to get all the dents out and all the chrome was shot so I had to paint everything. I used a pair of...

Thank you! It's running great. Mind, It's cold in Pa. so I only have about 4 miles on it. it will get better as it breaks in. This is the 3rd bike I have built with the long exhaust. I run the risk of plugging the converter in the muffler because it's so for from the engine but have found that...

This is how I think a bike should look! I hope some of you share that opinion!! LOL. :mrgreen: The bike is a 1955 Rollfast. I got it and an older J.C. Higgins girls bike for $25! I hand built the tank and exhaust. I made arms for the forks and a girder to support it. This put the wheel 2"...

Not bad! I just built one myself. I wanted a nice winter bike and the Huffy Cranbrook is a nice bike for the money. I used a black Flying horse engine from BikeBerry. I had no major problems with the build but the mounts almost always take a little thinking to figure out. I also added a front...

Every thing they said! Kuttnhack..... You have said it better than I ever could. I'm saving your post and hanging a copy of it in my garage and tool box at the shop!!! I call myself an A/C teck. To be more detailed, I build custom air conditioning units for street rods and antique cars. some...

Nice! Do you know what year it is? The frame looks right but I don't have any holes for a badge so I'm quessing it was a decal and the chain wheel is different. Thanks again guys! Fast replies and good info.

Yep! All right together like a bumpy slot. Thanks now I have a place to start! No, Looks like a butt joint to me.

The guy said....25 bucks..take 'em both. I love Graig's list Ornge one, J.C. Higgins. Easy enough to figure out the rest Skip tooth chain...cool...never had one of those before. Needs a special chain? Now, the red and white one. No badge, no name, no numbers that I can find yet. Any ideas...

Thank you Rat Rod. Nice place! maddogrider....I removed the brake arm and bent it to clear the bolts. No heat just a big vise and hammer. Just under the arm is the dust shield. I use it to scribe the center hole on the sprocket and use a burr bit on high speed in the drill press to open it up...

Well, no it's not. It;s just me...Dan. Using the name I picked up during my racing years. Just wanted to say hi, tell you all what a great site this is. Good info and hot bikes! Thanks to this site I just found out I own a Spaceliner!! How cool is that? Here are some of my bikes.

This is SWEET!!! I didn't even know I owned a Spaceliner until tonight! When I pulled this rusted thing out of a old guys junk pile he told me it was a Sears bike made in 58 but didn't know more. The tank and rack fell apart on the way home they were rusted so bad. But still it was just to...
