Re: Chromed Out, Big Muscles, Fried Chicken...

Cool, I started putting together something similar from a bare frame a couple years ago. This was as far as it got, aside from a gray/silver banana seat I got for it:

i had just done a flightliner for the space build. i had second thoughts.
i need a good classic ballooner to ride with my girl on her WF.

i am going to add a laid back seatpost (anyone have one?)
a recovered seat.

i have never gotten a positive ID on the frame. anyone know what it is?
i was told most recently that its a columbia westfield.

sorry for the change of plans.....i think this may be better.

Re: Changed my mind. "Black Coffee"

Ive used the threaded bearing race from another bike, with the threads ground out. It still sits in the bearings,but isnt "attached" to the steer tube. Then re-use all the orig. parts. It works! :mrgreen:
 
Re: Changed my mind. "Black Coffee"

how does that spring compress on that front end? is there a long bolt that goes thru and the bolt moves up and down or what? have never looked at one to see how they work. nice mock up.
