I saw some at Chaingang Lowrider - http://www.chainganglowrider.com/Part%2 ... %20Acc.htm If you guys happen to stumble across somewhere that sells wingnuts in that fit the Sturmey Archer Front Hubs (like the X-FD) and 13/32" sizes then shoot me a PM. They are the last little detail I am...

Geez, this is great... what a mix of tastes that all rock. My music ranges a bit so here are a few examples of FAVORITES: HARDER Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are Rockstars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_Rv0hCF6I Hadouken! - Leap of Faith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Ntzo3ya0o...

Re: SpaceLiner: DevilWing - Finishing Touches (pg. 5) Man, the little details just really make an already awesome bike pop so much more. Great job on the DevilWing! I love the sprocket cap design... first thing that came to mind was Captain America's shield for some reason... Congrats on a...

OK, Here are some of the components I have and the progress I have made on the bike (full set is available at my Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/thezamn/sets/72157605851921081/): Stripping the bike of its old paint... just a little while longer till this is done + the fork (that is also...

Alright Thanks Guys... I definitely trust your opinions on this matter, so I guess its back to the creative drawing table on this one. Finding a method of faux woodgraining rims (I'm using drum brakes) is a challenge indeed. If anyone has had experience either doing a vinyl application this way...

PICTURES TOMORROW I PROMISE. Finally getting a chance to work on my bike!!!! School is out for another week and I've got the frame just about stripped, plus most of the parts sitting in my closet waiting for me. Still need rims, spokes, and nipples but I'll grab those soon. Also might invest in...

Hey Guys - Wondering if anyone has any knowledge if it is ok to lace a 36 hole hub to a 32 hole rim? I know, I know, everywhere I have read they say that you should just match up the rim to the hub. BUT, I am just nearly finished with my bike build parts and I really want a certain rim...

Man I am so glad you asked this question... I was thinking the same thing. I am just finishing up preparing my frame to paint so I needed to find this out too. On a side question, what paint are you using? I am working with what sounds like the same kind of paint... Brown/copper with metalic...

Good idea! Never put the two together but always remembered an old high school science teacher telling us that they use coke sometimes to clean the loose meat and material off study skeletons for institutions. :shock:

Dang! I'd be there but I'll be in Portland Oregon that week visiting family. It will be fun to actually meet up with you guys one of these days.

Hey Everyone! I know its just another question from me but I think this is the last little piece I need help with before my bike is completely built up (first bike build ever and am doing EVERYTHING from scratch). My question is what options do I have in getting my '72 Schwinn Varsity to fit a...

Sweeet! Was that the Vancouver, WA fireworks show???? This is my first year (in the 28 years of my life) that I was away from Washington for the 4th... it was really really odd to see so littler firework action going on here in California (understandably though with all the fires). Missed the...

Even though I'm pretty new to bikes I think I have a special passion for these english road bikes. Love it! Definitely keep it because it sounds like it has some sentimental value. Though I would love to take it off your hands :D (if it wasn't so special). This has definitely given me a few good...

Nashbar has a stand that is 36% off with a coupon available to knock off an extra 10%. SInce I'm a newbie to bike building is Spin Doctor a good repair stand? Original price was $219.95 and now it is $139.95 (with 10% off that would make it about $125.95 then add $10.75 for shipping). Here is...

I searched all over the boards here to see if anyone had talked about using Frisket Film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisket_(art_material)) for masking out areas that you want to paint, but didn't see anyone speak of them in the painting posts. Anyways I think it would be a great tool to use...

Hmm... I don't know for sure but maybe your are thinking antiquing wash is an actual "product" when I have known it always just to be a painting method. For example, just recent I had some stone Lionhead door knockers that I found for really cheap and I painted over them with a rusty black/brown...

Re: Mr. Belvedere: My First Build Thanks for the info New_Dharma! Actually, after hours of researching tire and rim sizes, I have decided to upgrade to 700c (622mm) rims. This is doable on my Varsity (or at least I think it is from my research, if anyone knows different tell me) because of the...

Love the shellaced cork grips... thinking about doing that to my current bike build as well. Are they comfortable like that? And is that an old spoon or something attached to the reflector :shock: ! Thats kinda cool!

That makes me want to break out the old Sega CD and play something like Sewer Shark or Night Trap.

Re: Mr. Belvedere: My First Build Thanks New_Dharma for the specs on the S-6 bead seating! So I think I will drop the S-6 rims and get some cheap larger ones for this build. I don't think they really have to be anything fancy because there will be no brake running on them (which also allows me...
