Re: Re: Yah. pretty amazing. It was just sitting in my garage for years. Never thought it would be worth anything.

I just cleaned out my garage and put up a bunch of stuff. Kooka and critical racing stems. Ringle seat post. onza H.O brakes, Foes frame, etc. will be putting up more stuff this weekend. see here http://www.ebay.com/usr/imridingmybike

Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker [need help page 5] Chris, specifically who brazed canti studs onto the rear? We're talking period correct here - per the OP. This means 1970's. When we peruse Alans and Charlies sites - the only bike with canti's in the rear is Alans personal bike. If you know of...

I did it because I believed that a long time member of a forum would value their reputation and ability to continue selling above treating another member like dirt. I was sort of right - but I never figured I'd have to do this. Lesson learned. :-)

I think so. I am west coast. I think he's east coast. He did send me an apology. Now I'm just waiting for my stem.

Re: I sent him PayPal as a "gift" so I can't get it back. But if showing the forum what this guy is really all about costs me $130, then so be it. The post stays up until I get my stem and an apology.

Re: Retrofit still hasn't shipped my stem, and now he's resorting to blackmail. Here's a PM from him earlier today. Buyer beware! "I was going to drop your stem off at the post office today, but one of my forum buddies brought to my attention that you left a malicious feedback comment about...

I originally posted in the "official united states sellers thread" that I needed a 1-1/4" threadless stem. Retrofit PM'd me and said he had a kooka that matched what I was looking for. I responded and asked how much. His was response "what's your budget?" I responded and said I don't...

Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker [need help page 5] So I went back and looked at all the bikes on Alan's site as well as Charlie kelly's site - and the only clunker that I've seen with canti's in back is Alan's personal bike. All the rest (that I've seen) either use coasters or drums. yes, there...

Re: Re: I'm using sturmey archer XLFD in the front - and a shimano nexus 8 speed in the rear, with roller brake.

Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker [need help page 5] Koski is making forks again. And I like the look of drums. This is my '39. https://scontent-1.11404.fna.fbcdn.net/ ... e=5554FE4D

Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker [sand blasted frame pag 5] They would have used Schwinn canti's in front - when using a Schwinn fork (like you are) - or mafac canti's if using a BMX fork. They didn't run canti's in the back. They ran either coaster brakes or drum brakes. If you want it to look...

Re: Re: Very good transaction. Super easy to deal with. No BS.
