Still riding and racing. I have almost finished another bike for my wife as well.

Re: Thanks, I will edit the listing.

So, I bought these before realizing the frame I intend to use them on uses u-brakes, DOH! Oh well. http://www.ebay.com/sch/boogerlips0/m.h ... 7675.l2562

I've got another project in the works so it is fundraising time. The cranks are really nice, Ringle skewers are in great shape. The ringle front hub is near new but the rear hub is cracked. The fork has a cracked brake bridge but otherwise it is in good shape. Small items ship FREE for...

I did not ream the headtube. I had the King headset milled to fit. Much easier and I can re-use the headset on other frames should the time come. The same guy that makes the bars did the headset. http://mrtick.us/Products.html

I will probably regret selling this. The holy grail of drum brakes. This one is in outstanding condition. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1120084840

I owned 3 Mountain Kleins and from what I see your build is mostly original spec with the exception of the front derailleur, pedals, tires. Most Mountain Kleins you see around are red, yours may have been a custom job as it is rare to see them with the fork painted to match. Most had chrome...

Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker Gary replica [wheelset pag 3] Even though your hub is only 126mm I would still advise cold setting the frame. Having extra pressure on the hub at a bad angle can screw up the bearings and make them wear out quicker. You shouldn't need to mess with the seat tube if you...

This is my own stuff so I am happily surprised at how much this stuff is going for. I expected maybe $40 for the brake levers. http://www.ebay.com/sch/boogerlips0/m.h ... 7675.l2562

It is 1.25 inches. Made a mistake in the listing. I will revise today.

There aren't many bikes that deserve this kind of dedication to a restoration. The details here are mind blowing. That chainguide is simply beautiful.

Re: Bike of The Month Oct 2013 Halloween Special - Nominatio Slow on the nominations this month. I think everybody saw Haliburts bike and got scared.

Keep an eye on my ebay. My dog got injured this week and now I have a $1800 dollar vet bill to pay so unfortunately a lot of parts I have been hanging on to will have to be sold. I have some very clean deerhead parts coming up along with some newer shifters, cassettes etc.

I am selling this. Half price shipping for retrobikers. It looks great and it actually works. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1043500205

That was just a crappy Tange knock off.

I just rebuilt my hubs into a nice set of hand polished Arayas. Gave the fork a refresh and shined it up a bit. My first Klunker build and still one of my favorites.

I rebuilt an older Fox F-80 and painted it to match. I spent $20 for the fork at the swap meet. $20 for a seal kit. I already had the oil and the leftover paint from the frame. Not bad and it rides like new!

Re: Bike of The Month Oct 2013 Halloween Special - Nominatio Sandmangts's 1936 Mercury frankenbike. Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=106037 I just rebuilt the wheels this week with some sweet hand polished arayas.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I think that Alpinestars would be a real contender if it weren't for that seatpost but coming from the guy who puts suspension forks on 77 year old frames that is a little ironic. Rumphys Bonty is perfectly meticulous as usual but Mr Ships Salsa is very nice too...

Yeah the hubs were built into a set of sun rims with the same blue ano and they looked really sweet but the rims had developed cracks around the spoke eyelets. All the parts came off a Dagger AMP. Sweet build but the frame is cracked.
