The lights in the first post, the light on the stick looks like a delta brand light from the lens they made boat marker lamps as well as bicycle lamps, I've never seen one on a bike but anything is possible. They were usually battery powered though, was the front lamp wired ?


It is! And it is battery powered but the light bulb has fused into the plate that looks like a washer. It doesn't work on my muscle bikes but yesterday, it occured to me that it would be cool to use it like a fender guide on a car mounted on the back of hubby's red cruiser, but the bolt end that sticks out where the rear rack is mounted is much larger than the hole in the post the light is mounted on. Hubby is debating drilling it out to make it fit, but is worried about damaging its integrity. So that is requiring some thought for now.

The front lamp still had the original fabric wrapped wires for the generator attached. I mounted it on my Ross and removed the wires. I'm interested in seeing about mounting a battery pack inside the housing since the switch is on top of the housing. More thinking and plotting...

I have a third light. I haven't posted it yet. Hubby got me a mint Royce headlight. Only the headlight, so I need to find a bracket and figure out how to light it up. I think I want to mount it on my blue Royce Union. Seemed fitting. :lol:

Those pics don't even scratch the surface!!! Lucky Bike is a bike rescue shop. Everything is for sale. Entire bikes and parts. Some are even used for parting out. He keeps old school parts in stock and also repairs, builds and customizes anything. You name it, he does it. I've only picked out a dozen bikes, but the tandem with the baby seat mounted on the back has my entire attention. I'm thinking of building a couple of my bikes up and trading (maybe?) for that tandem.

:D Thank you! I am a die hard dubber. I built my bug from a bare bones shell and a mistmatched pile of parts. I have an entire build thread on the Samba. Heck, I even have my original VW key pattern tattooed on me. If anybody is interested, here's the link to my build thread which I keep updated at all times. Considering you never stop building a Volkswagen..... :oops:

I saw the squareback at a local show. I started working on my hot rod husband to turn him into a dubber. :lol: He's been with me from the start with my bug and even had a bug when I met him. A few months later we brought it home. Original papers and all. Both of us and even our son love old cars, bikes or well, pretty much all good old vintage stuff. But, here's the queen of the Addiction with Wheels collection....

HA HA! Thank you largek9! That pic was before I took a grinder to the car for my "un-paint" job. I'm putting a big motor in my bug in the next week or so, but I'm going to need to find a way to mount a bike to my roof rack. Hmmmm...... :?

It is! Yep, I ran across Lucky Bike while trying my best to get lost on a lunch break from the shop. Got my eye on a couple of things and I'll be taking a couple of mine there for some advice and parts.

I'm taking my gold Ross to our show. Stuart Ellis is gonna pinstripe it for me!!! :mrgreen:

Have you talked to the guy at the Barnyard about truing your wheel? Wounder what he would charge to relace my wheel with my RB2 coaster brake?

Also, how did the old man hook up the bottle holder on his bike? I've been messing around with old car drink holders to hook one up.

I haven't. I'm going to take the bike to Kip at Lucky Bike instead. I'm looking for another boy's bike for Logan. He doesn't like the Murray High Jinks even though it's uber rare. So I guess I'll sell it. :roll:

The cup holder was already on a little Schwinn we had. :D
