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. The replacements are very similar to the originals, most people wouldn’t notice. I hope that’s OK. It’s a 1938-41 Schwinn New...

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.

Decent field, yeah.

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.

OK, you convinced me, you got my vote.

I enter to keep things going. More entries PLEASE.

Early Gloria frame and fork.

It was winter I so I built it inside on our bed. My wife said I better not use the bed only as bike repair bench, she claimed I have a bike fetish.

I built this for my Son’s birthday. A project that became all consuming and expensive. It was a fixie and I bought it for the frame. The owner didn’t know what it was but I knew it was a Gloria frame. It was too messed up to ride. Dents, cracks bent. The fork tube was bent so I temporarily...

Jesper had the nicest bike, it got my vote. What a survivor. I like the unrestored finish.

The original chain stay spread was 44 mm giving 3 mm clearance on each side of the tire. Too tight. I first tried my standard mild steel chain stay spreading modes, with a torch, to no avail. Chrome molybdenum is too hard, especially if it’s already dimpled. I used a piece of 2x2 inch square...

A little more progress today. 38 mm tires, a tight fit in the chain stays. They fit but might rub in corners. I’ll probably dimple them for extra clearance.
