More wood for "The Beaver".....

[Bendix]

Well, I decided I needed the Tange cruiser fork from the 'beaver' klunker for another project so I had to think of something to take it's place. As soon as the weather improves (July? August?) I'll be able to go for a test ride- hopefully they'll have a little flex and won't just snap in two.....

A postwar fork I had laying around from other projects. The Tange was .833 so I replaced the dime store mtb stem with a prewar ( I see it could use a shorter clamp bolt ). A truss bracket from ebay. A couple 3/8" oak dowels from Home Depot, a little stainless tubing and 2 ga wire connectors from Ace.

Ok that looks really cool ,but people will think your strange if you ride a bicycle with a full face helmet. :lol: :lol:

You can get away with that helmet when you are bombing down a 30-degree hill at warp speed. Great bike! it gives me ideas for future builds.

Love it, is the Truss Rod Bracket a schwinn one? They are the only ones I can find on ebay.
