Sounds like i need to give it some muscle. It's a 28" ape hanger bar in a shim in the folded stem of the 20" sears spyder posted a few pages back, so I was kinda pushing it. Just wondering if there were any genius fixes out there I don't know of. Might have to just add a toolbag with a wrench.

I am having trouble keeping my bars from wiggling loose, anyone got a solution? This is my first ape-hanger bike and wow they're springy.

Hello gents, this is my Sears Spyder before it got fresh paint (same brilliant violet color) and decals. Here it is also sans one headset. Hoping to get it finished for summer. I drilled out the rivets holding the fork reflectors and managed to get them both off and on intact. My greatest...

I read somewhere that 30's serial numbers were stamped by hand so they are not lined up properly but after the war they were machine stamped and more uniform.

Thanks guys, I guess I've decided to keep it OG even though I really have a dislike for tandem anything. Seems a good way of turning a great day on a bike into a crap day on a bike LOL but that's just my independent streak. I put a poll on facebook and nearly everyone said keep it, which I'd...

Holy steampunk. Nice.

Love it from the frame down, the seat and bars are weirding me out too :D Love the blue rims

It's perfect! Fits snug as a bug in a rug. Thank you!

I dislike tandems, but this is aching to be cut into a lowrider or built up to a cycle truck type thing. Fresh from the garage of my divorcing friends. Serial # is 4H217679 if anyone knows how to find the year. Western Flyer headbadge.

got a slimline from RatSphinx, its a nice compromise

That is an amazing bike build lol. When I first came to the US I was with 23 South Africans. You guys can party!

Decided to cut the fender down to a shorty, and try removing the rattle can black

Just found this '54 catalog, having a hard time finding the later stuff. http://www.nostalgic.net/bicycle161

AWESOME!

Re: Second Cycle Truck in Two Days picked Gotta be kidding me! LOL I've been hunting cycletrucks with no luck (besides outrageously priced parts on eBay) - don't know how many of them made it to the Rocky Mountains... Congrats!

Like Christmas! I got given a Le Tour (well, for a case of cheap beer) and it's such fun to ride.

I'm from New Zealand and have serious concerns about moving home and being able to continue the hobby!

Pretty sure it was just a figure of speech referring to bikes in general and not saying that a samurai is Chinese but anyhoo, I am equally snobbish about Schwinns and wouldn't be flinging money around unless it's real steel... seen too many dept store bikes rust up in the first season and leave...

I've only been a member for a second, but already I feel the need to build original slipping away! My parts bin is looking a lot more interesting since joining :wink:
