I just want to know if Im doing this correctly as this is the first 3 speed hub I have used. I have a Sturmey Archer 3 speed and I am using a stick shifter with it and I am attempting to get the tension set on the shifter cable/chain indicator. I have set the tension where the cable is at its...

I have a couple questions. I have a Troxel seat that I want to recover to match my projects paint. I am having a local auto upholster do the job and he is quit capable of the task but he is alittle young, older then me but young none the less. I know you have seen them before but this Troxel...

Anybody got a bright idea of a nice clean way to tie down a cable to a frame that has no cable hooks or clevis' (or whatever they are)? I really really do not want to use zip ties but I need some way to hold my shifter cable to my frame. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks 8)

This has probably been discussed previously but I don't seem to get a concise answer on the interwebs. I have a Sturmey Archer 3 speed kickback hub and I have a Shimano 333 stick shifter. Will these two work together or is there a way to make them work together. I saw some information on another...

I ran upon a bike today and I cannot find a single piece of information about it anywhere and I was hoping you guys could help me out. It says B and G Flyer on the tank but I that stands for Beck and Gregg. The model is Caravelle according to the chain guard. Its a girls bike and looks like the...

I have a question. I am considering buying a new 3 speed nexus hub for my project. I would like to use a 3 speed stick shifter on it . I was wondering if the stick style shifters would work with the newer hubs or if only the click or twist grip shifters are the only shifters that would work...

I have one of these repo hair pin seats that you get from u.s. cycles ( not bad mouthing them by the way :D ). I am having trouble getting it to stay level. I tighten the bolt where the post mounts under the seat and I still cannot get the seat to stay level or at least where I want it. Just...

I have run upon a schwinn motorbike, or a bicycle with a motor on it however you wish to call it. . I was wondering what these things are worth? I have not seen it in person but I have seen few pics. If it helps, the bike has a chrome tank and chrome fenders and a black frame. I don't know if...

I know this has asked before...but I just want to make sure. I picked up a Schwinn XR7 stationary bike today with hardly any miles or ride time whatever you want to call it for little to nothing. I want to use parts on it for a project but its so nice I hate to strip it down. Is it worth...

I'm currently rebuilding my set of 24in" wheels and I had the idea of lacing them with white spokes. I can find them on Ebay but they are not long enough. I need ones that are 246mm. Anyone know who sells them or where I might look for them? I know I could just get normal spokes and paint them...

I just signed up on here the other day. Thought I would show what I am working on as of right now. This is my first bike build and I wasn't really planning on ever building one, but a friend got me into it. This bike started out as a Ross that was bought by the same friend at a yard sale. He...
