Wah hoo, I got er. It kept cross threading, 1/4 way in it became apparent, try again. Lucky today. Touch and go though. The cup would turn easily, then bind a little, then easy. It bound less when it was right. It was difficult to tell when it was in right. Anyone rebuilding this BB is in for a...

I’m trying to put in the BB. It’s now apparent that the original left side threads were cross threaded and massively mangled. Working on these old tossed out junk frames is always full of surprises. Free isn’t always good. Usually you can rethread by chasing the threads. You have to chase the...

For a restoration I would use a modern two part paint. The good one part auto paint is no longer available but I have a small stash of this amazing paint from around 1980. Lacquer eventually chips and lifts. Both of my triumphs had lacquer tanks and eventually lifted. You can see it on both...

For da 1son, 186 cm tall. He rides this fixed gear bike on long road trips, 250 km a day. He likes it that much.

Get rid of it, it’s taking up valuable bike storage space.

Here is my third attempt to enter a bike this month. This one probably meets the rules but the front brake and hubs aren’t original Schwinn but replacement vintage parts.

My second delete this month for illegal bikes.

Paint and decals Red heater hose and cork grips. Tar tape for bar wrap. It’s now in my attic so I don’t have photos of its current state. It now has a vintage USA Pearson’s saddle that looks like the Brooks in these photos and a set of 1/2 inch racing pedals so the pedal adapters are no longer...

Model W1R, with a one piece crank Model W3R with a three piece crank but still with 1/2 inch pedals instead of the 9/16. Some originals from the net. You could order this bike with different parts, to customize it from anything, including commuter, road or entry level track bike. I’ve seen...

I just read the rules. This bike is also illegal as it has a modern cockpit and drive. Dang rules. Ha, ha.

Thank you

Where can I find the rules? My searches didn’t find them.

So, my entry is also illegal as I gave it away as a birthday gift for my son. I no longer am in possession. I’ll find something else to enter but I can’t remember what I already entered.
