Im sure you can find one on eBay. Are you looking for the quill style or the thread less style?

Thanks again for the seat post and clamp!! They worked well with the overall build.

And here is The Root Beer Float completed...

Interesting and surprised I haven't seen this sooner. I have a 1971 Varsity I am building right now into a single speed/fixed gear style. The bike came with a bottom bracket installed, but the side case part that was installed previously is stuck in it. The bottom bracket that was in it (I just...

Sorry there hasn't been any progress, the little lady warned me to quit ordering and buying parts until after Christmas. Just so happens jolly old St. Nick dropped some parts my way!! Looks like I'll be done with building by Sunday as long as I can get a white chain by then!!

Inching along... Didn't have time to spray the new rims this last weekend so progress had been slow. Anyway, got the seat post and clamp in and hit the local bike shop for the clamp to hold the seat onto the post. While I was there I picked up some bar wrap. Tonight I decided on a quick little...

I love these convertible tank thread/builds! Only thing that gets me down about them is when I find them in this stage and completely done!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!

Swap that front little wagon wheel with a complete Radio Flyer and mount it on the wall!! That is a sweet little chopper!!

This brings me back to my first motorcycle. A Honda trail 70 in brown. Loved that bike. Once it finally broke (too many Evel Kneval tricks finally warped the forks, locked up the transmission and broke the exhaust pipe in half), I had wanted to rebuild it but I was a kid and we were moving. Love...

;););)I have been quietly hoarding parts the last week or so. The white wheels I have on hand has a bent spoke, the front hub looks like it could use a rebuild and I have an 1980's Fuji frame on hand so I am gonna hold those until this is done and try to rebuild them at that time. I found a...

The more I look at it, the more I just wanna ride it... I can always strip it later when I get the wheels rebuilt and steal the black wheels off the other bike...

I'm digging the paint as it is the more I stare it down. I might strip and repaint it with root beer micro flake, repaint "Schwinn" & "Varsity" in a pearl white to match what the wheels refinished would be and clear coat it under a few coats of auto clear.... I think I might have gone too deep...

So as I was poking around Craiglist I found a guy with a set of white rims. He also had an 80's Fuji Lugged frame he was building a fixie out of. So it all got shoved into the car and dragged home. I have some serious plans for the Fuji that will take some serious time and some money to finish...

Hmmm that's sounds like a good combo too.... So far I'm looking for white parts (cranks, rims and bar wrap). Also going to try to find a vintage 44, 46 or 48 chain ring. Attach that to a modern 3 piece crank set (in white) and then the old school style pedals in chrome with toe straps in white...

I ordered a Freedom Econoline seat in white that has the vintage style brown, light brown, tan stripes on it so I am keeping it brown. Maybe get some minor pin stripping added...?
