Finished! Sort of. Rides great, but some small adjustments needed. Flipped the stem upside down, but it's still a little to far of a reach, so I'm in search of an 80-90 mm stem that looks the part....

Motobecane Jubile Sport

My uncles bike. Asked me to sell it. It's too big for me otherwise I'd keep it. It rides nice, but it's a pain to get off with the standover. Really nice shape, always indoors. A few marks on the...

waiting on parts

Quick slow update:

Waiting on a 1" 3T Mutant stem from Poland, and a set of 42cm 3T alloy bars to match. I was so stuck on black everything, I never stepped back and looked at the bike. Still not...

This is the way I did it. Not saying it's the right way, but $12 in hardware beats the going rate of the real tools.

I spread the fork with a 12" long 3/8" rod. I put a ratcheting wrench inside...

Blaze yellow and sonic yellow, two different factory colors. I also feel I need to say "bro" when talking about a Subi Rex.

My caliper only went out to 147.5mm, but I'd say I went out to about 155ish at least. I started out at 135 and went about 5mm at a time from there. Until I got to 129mm with no tension. I almost...

I'll look more into the Velocity rims. Looks like I can order them with 36 spokes on their website. There goes another $300 into my budget build....

As for tonight, I started tackling the crusty...

This bike was in excellent shape minus a rusty chain and all original. The only thing I plan on using is the frame. The rest will be sold as a group to recoupe some of the build costs. My thought...

Not sure how to place photos in-line, so a reply will have to do:

The seat in the bike pick was part of a package deal take-off Shimano 105 5800 groupset I picked up locally.

So here's what I...

Trek 330 Elance rebuild/upgrade

Found a Trek 330 in my neighborhood out on the road with a bunch of stuff and a "free" sign. Left the other stuff (I didn't need the kids 12" bike or the shower seat with handles...) and brought the...

1937 Monark Silver King "Wingbar"

I posted another link just trying to find out what model it was and got a lot of good responses. I know family history doesn't add to the value, but I'm the third owner. Originally bought by my great...

I just went to talk with my aunt and I guess the bike was originally my great grandfather's bike, and my great uncle Rocco inherited it after he died. Rocco died 15 years ago, and I got the bike...

Thanks for the compliments! To think that I almost brought the bike down to college and use it as a beach cruiser in FL!

I know that it's missing the light lenses, and I guess it has the wrong...
