You all may have seen this as .. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=32283
Well I am starting the tear apart then the ?????? I got this from doing my daily garbage bike pickin... The lady is trying to get me pictures of her dad riding the bike in the 40's on the bike so that I can take it back to close original (I THINK)

Here is a pic of the tear apart...

I started to take it apart and it came apart mostly smooth. The only thing that is giving me a problem is the handle bars stem and the pedals. It is going very smooth on the tear down.. I hope it goes smooth on the rest./..


Still undecided on what is going to get done, but I will be needing the back rim rehooped and laced..... I am going to post a pick of the hub soon it is in great shape...

WELL SOON MORE TO COME>>

Any ideas on getting my rear wheel relaced on the old hub?

 

[cashman]

Neet! It's even got the rear rack. Those are hard to find! I've been looking for a front fender for one for a while now. The rear wheel shouldn't be a big problem to lace. They use .120-.130 ga spokes.

Might try this. http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html

It isn't as much voodoo magic to relace a wheel as you might think. The first one will take you a while to figure out, but the second goes much quicker. I spent several hours just lacing my first one. Now I can lace one in 10 minutes. Trueing it up can be a little tricky, just be patient.

theres a handful of different ways to do it... I was taught the way the guys doing it in this video but I use a makita to spin em with.. :roll:
