So here it is!
Ok so first question... Do you guys really ride your bikes with this big sprocket? My legs are burning after 7ish miles...
Next question. It came with a bent springer fork but the guy said i would need Bearings or something to take slop out the fork tube on the forks.
Also anyone local to Wichita Ks that will trade me some straight but seen better days 26" wheels for my new front and decent rear? Also looking for 26" white wall tires and some ape hangers.

Re: First build.... Rat Build

Re: First build.... Rat Build

The bike I put a Schwinn Exerciser chainring on has a 2 speed kickback hub, and riding in the lower gear feels about like a normal ratio. Then I get to kick it into the higher gear, and I haven't even explored its top speed yet.
 
Re: First build.... Rat Build

i bet a nice 2-any speed hub would be nice on this big sprocket! but none the less i like the bike. I need to figure out how to get the bent springer front end on properly. Anyone done that on here? What am i gonna run into?

ok got springer front end on and it fits better than what was on it but gonna need to look at new bearing cups/retainers maybe or something. How can i age the chrome? And anyone have a extremely ratty springer seat?

I liked this one !
But Do this design gives comfortable seating posture ? If yes, you will rock on it...

That is a cool looking bike. I can't imagine trying to ride it around here, I'd be pushing it half the time! :lol:
