Looking for a pre war (±1936) drop center wheel for a recently found tandem I picked up. Mead Pathfinder, male/female dual steer. Has original rear wheel but the front is typical light duty spokes. Trying not to dump too much $ into this thing. Willing to offer up some stuff for trade. I...

thanks, I did have to restrain myself a few times. I have some nicer parts I could have put on it but I think by not going overboard I kind of kept it at or slightly above its original performance package level. I would have like to use the old canti's but in the end the integrated...

Wrapped it up last night... Pretty happy with the turn out. Could not use the 2.4 Maxxis as the chain was rubbing the side of the tire. Part of that issue was an incorrect granny ring with too much offset, rectified with a Race Face ring I had kicking around. Polished up the anodize on the...

I was thinking, trim kit = plastic covers for axle and cable brackets. I might have some non turn washers but usually when dealing with horizontal drop outs I just make my own.

Good day today. Built up the main beam, triple 2x10 with plywood. The beam is spanning 15'-1" but that will shrink to about 10ft when I add a partition for the walk in closet. Removed the gable end entirely. just pulling off the tails of the wide pine siding, all square cut nails..Going to...

Thanks Luke. I wish I could dedicate more time to this project.
