Thanks, everyone! It was a labor of love. Finally found a chain that fits and took it for a spin last night. Rides great!

All done!

Thanks! I was able to retrofit a band brake to the disc mount on the Mxus. I just couldn't find any place to mount the caliper for the disc brakes so went with band brakes instead. Cheap, and better than just regen, i hope. So for brakes i have a rebonded Worksman front drum + rear band...

Thanks for the kind replies! Just wanted my very own Airflo! :) I don't think i can sell kits though as #1 they are not perfect and purists would balk, and #2 i am located in the Philippines so shipping would be too expensive.

Hi! The Shelby Airflo is just plain beautiful. I love the lines and curves and i've always wanted one. So i jumped on the chance when a cheap frame and fork came up on ebay. One of the awesome members here remarked that i would have to fork out a LOT of cash to complete this project. That...

Hi! I acquired a 1953 NSU Quick52 Moped without an engine in a trade (accepted it as a trade for a hawthorne/rollfast "zep" tank for it). At first i was a bit hesitant about the trade, thinking there was no way i could find/afford the correct engine parts and do a proper restoration. But then...

Here's my restored Spacliner.

Hi! I'm from the Philippines too. :) You could be experiencing back pain also due to your seat being too low. If you want to keep it that low, try moving it back by using a laid back seat post or lucky 7 style post.

Thanks! It's got 700 x 38c tires, aluminium rims. Its slow with a 20:40T gear ratio, but it rides really smooth.

Japanese Mister Cycle Truss frame

Hi all. I got this is a Japanese "Mister Cycle" branded 28" truss frame still commonly found around here. I got the frame as an extra freebie during a trade. What i really like about the Mr.Cycle truss frames are the really cool truss rods. Here is an OG paint example from the 1950s...

Hey cool, I'll look into that! How do i access the elastomers? New to the newer bike parts. I just had the seat stay crack re-welded and inserted a longer seat post.
