I've got a New Departure Model D that I recently reassembled. It works fine and brakes well however just before I come to a complete stop it makes a knock that I can hear and fell through the pedals. Any ideas?

On my current build I'd like to have my seat set back more toward the rear tire. In looking at photos in the gallery it appears that in most cases this is done with a angled seatpost and the receiver hole in the seat turned 90 degrees forward. Can these seatposts be purchased somewhere or as...

I've got a couple of chain guards that I may put up for sale but I need to know what they are first. I think the green one is a Huffman as it is almost identical to one on my '43 Military Huffman. The green one also had the front bracket removed by the previous owner. Can anyone tell me for...

Has anyone here tried the hammered metal paint by Rustoleum on a build. If so were you happy with the way it came out?

1. I've got a new project to paint. I don't have a spray gun so I'm going to rattle can it. I'd usually go to the local paint store but in this case I want a specific color they don't have which a sort of a dark burnt orange and I want it in flat. I've looked online and found a few places that...

My 12 year old daughter is ready to upgrade from her 16" bike. She's easily tall enough for a compact 26" as she rides some of my shorter bikes. We decided to have some fun and rather than buy a new one we'd build one up together. We went to a local bike salvage shop and found this frame which...

I'm finally getting back to a build I started a few years back. I would like to find some black spokes for my 24" rims. I know I can paint regular spokes but I'd rather buy them black as the finish would be more durable. The existing spokes are about 241mm and 14 gauge. All I've found online so...

Been a while since I posted. I finally finished one project I started last year. Bought this Schwinn at a yard sale for $20. Frame was in great shape, no rust, very few scratches. Removed & replaced all bearings. Painted wheel faces, chain ring, crank arms, & hubs dark metallic gray. Rebuilt...

Just starting this one. I've had the frame, crank, and chain ring for a while. Just got the wheels from another forum member. Not sure where I'm going with it yet. I'm going to start looking at tires and handlebars next week. I want wide tires, the same size on the front and rear. I've got 3...

Any of the trusted vendors sell a triple tree for a 20" wheel? Thanks!

Hey folks, Still new here and quite at awe at what I've seen. I have an idea for a build-off and frankly I'd be surprised if it hadn't been mentioned before. How about a bolt-on only / no cut, no weld contest. Nothing against you guys that fabricate stuff, in fact you guys make the most...

Picked this one up today at a garage sale. Looks like it's a 1995. It's all chrome and you'd have a hard time finding a spec or rust on it. It's got a coaster brake and a caliper brake on the rear. Doubt that's the way it came. I'm guessing someone moved the caliper from the front. I'm going to...

I've got an old mid-late 40's Huffman frame and fork. I'd like to keep the original fork but would like to have a springer type front end. All the repo springers I see are the entire fork/springer assembly. Is it possible to purchase everything minus the fork for a springer setup? Thanks! John

I had some parts left over from my Huffman military bike project so I picked up this Huffman civilian frame. This will be my first attempt at a rat rod. I've got a few ideas and I'm just gathering up parts right now. Sorry for the bad picture, my wife had the good camera.
