    axle size solution?

    Soooo, I got a shinny new set of wheels for the ol' Sonic Scout, but I didn't realize the axle on the front wheel would be too large to fit into my fork (as well as my truss rods, etc.). What is the best solution for this? I have a thinner axle from on old wheel set, but I think I'll run into...

    Early '50s AMF Roadmaster

    So, I took a road trip to look at a Sonic Scout. I met with the owner who turned out to be a really nice guy and he opened his garage to show me what he'd been working on. I saw this gal buried in the corner. I ended up packaging a deal which worked out for both of us (although it required...

    Headbadge: to paint or not to paint

    so, I've painted up this Schwinn DX. It now has a nice candy/metallic finish, but I'm torn whether or not I should paint the original headbadge or not. Thoughts?

    broken stem bolt!

    So, I'm taking my '53 Schwinn apart for the first time. I tried to loosen the stem expansion bolt to try and pull the handlebar stem and it snapped off! My stem is still firmly wedged in. What are my options? Long drill bit? -Robby
