    Ruff Lucky frame electric build

    Try flipping the forks for a more authentic look. I think Rough Cycles messed it up.

    Caterham Vintage Style Tank E-Bike

    Welded in a real seat post to take a real seat, the original seat is good for 5 miles before you need to get off. New bars and no plastic motor. Much better now.

    Getting incorrect results from spoke length calculator

    How to remove rust and polish chrome very cheap

    Autosol and crumpled Aluminim foil. Autosol on its own won't move the rust. The Ali foil is soft enough not to scratch the chrome.

    Cruisers on slicks!

    Felt Bicycle Pics

    My Felt 750 Cafe. The chain guard has 03 on it, was removed when I fitted a 3 piece crank. Put shorter bars on and a motorcycle headlight to give it a cafe racer look.

    ? Is this Dual Front Fork gonna Fly ?

    I cut the brace off which had the brake pivots just like the one above. Painted the fork legs. Just letting you know it works ok.

    crank conversion ?? Help

    I have done 5 conversions now, using the Trvativ converter, and are well worth the trouble considering you will end up with a sealed bottom bracket and no play. You will find bottom brackets vary in length from around 102mm to 127mm long and you can also get offsets on the left to allow for 3...

    ? Is this Dual Front Fork gonna Fly ?

    Just did the same thing a few weeks ago and yes the forks do twist a bit but only if you put the wheel between your legs and force the bars. I've done about 50 miles on it now with no noticeable problem.
