| hi i am building a schwinn fair lady or slik chik for my wife and am putting together the rims now, the front is done but the back is giving me trouble!!!! this wheel/rim was a front wheel so the hub on the front was considerable smaller than the three speed sturmy archer that i would like to lace into this rim, after trying the spokes are way to long. I thought that they would be but gave it a try, so i dont know what length the spokes are to be,can someone give me some info on this project it would be greatfully appreciated thanks for listening. |
| Hi Jeff, If I understand you correctly your lacing a S-7 rim. I'm assuming your hub is a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub. I'm taking the spoke length from a three speed rim I own; off a girls Fair Lady. The spoke lenght is 8 inches. |
| thanks for the tip, the rim is an s-2 but i think that the s-7 is the same size, the hub is a sturmey i will look for the correct spokes that i need thanks for the info |
| the reason i wrote the initial post i had tried to lace the rim with 8 inch union spokes but for some reason it did not work out, them after your response i went back to the garage and tried again, i had the spokes crossed the wrong way... i finally got it thanks for your help. i would have tried to put smaller spokes in otherwise...lol |
| Ride the bike with burn up potental. Straddle the hottest number Raleigh have ever produced.Chopper. A machine inspired by the screaming rubber and roaring fantails of the dragster racing slick. Designed on lean, taut, tear- away-and-love-it lines...... With its high- rise "apehanger" handlebars. Coil- spring shock absorbers. Drag style saddle. Chrome roll bar. And snap action shift that flashes change of pace instantly from the crossbar. A machine with muscle to spare....Wide noble tread rear tire, a crippling road holding tracker...' |

| I picked up a Orange Ross Apollo 3 Speed. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place to get replacement parts and decals for it. I want to use it to cruise the local shows. Thanks for any help |
| I bought this old Sprinter muscle bike today from a guy down the street. It was complete. 2 toned green and White Banana seat, Ape hanger Handlebars and Shimano Stik Shifter. Only difference with this bike. It's not a 20" model, but a 24" model. Even has a usable 24inby 2.125 gripper Slic. Front wheel is a skinnier 24" Tire. What I wondering is has anyone seen or owned one of these bike? how about Year? Since it has a Stik Shift I'm thinking late 60's early 70's. I'll be posting some pics soon. I'm restoring/customizing it to look Like a Krate. Thanks D Smith |
| Is it a Leader brand bicycle produced by Victoria Precision works in Canada? I have a catalog picture and this sounds familiar. e- mail me a postal address and I'll send you a copy. Chris |
| Sent you my Addy. thanks Devon |
| I have trouble leaving good bikes on the scrap metal pile, but I don't know what to do with them once retrieved. A few minutes a pulled out a Columbia Playbike (S/A date 11-68; stick shift). It is intact (minus front fender) and appears restorable, even the American flag bell on the handlebars. Is it worth holding on to, or should I send it back to the smelters for recycling? Bob |
| Typo error above; meant to say "I pulled ..." Bob |
| I bought a Columbia Playbike last year. It's red in color with a chrome motorcycle style front fork. I like the bike, but the chrome fork is in really bad shape. I haven't taken the time to work on it. I kinda hold onto it because it is a different looking banana seat bike. Russell |
| Help. I need information on where to find exact match for Raleigh Chopper Flamboyant Green paint. This is the same as Raleigh's "Lenton Green" shade of paint. I am looking to buy paint and restore the bike to 'show condition'. Who and where should this bike be sent to in order to get this restoratrion underway? Thanks. I have (4) cables and some other(4) small parts to "gift to" the person who helps me out with these problems. Bike is sitting in box. ChristopherRobin2@starmail.com ChristopherRobin2@starmail.com |
| I am looking for a 1969/70 restored or near restored Sears Screamer 1 16x20 muscle bike. Two tone gold/red w/front springer wheel. |
| I have purchased a Huffy Slingshot Rail frame,I am looking for parts to complete the bike. The bike is circa 1970, I am looking for the Huffy flamming stack chain guard, the shifter, the front fork with the fake spring and green flecked huffy grips. I am also interested in any catalogs or information available regarding this bike and what the value of this style bike is.( I had one of these bikes in the early 70's!) Thank-You, Dean Gardner |
| There is one of these Slingshots on Ebay right now. it's up to $150. There was a nice one on there a couple weeks ago that went up to $305. |
