| Is there a trick to putting the front wheel back onto an antique bike with a solid fork? The wheel was removed several years ago and I cannot seem to remember how to get the axle back into the solid fork. Thanks, Pat |
| I am clueless with regard to where to get high quality paint for the restoration of my Monark Super Deluxe girls bicycle. I am also looking for a set of stencils to put the pinstriping on. This is going to my motherinlaw for Christmas so any help asap will greatly appreciated!! Thank you, Tanya |
| I've learned from the discussion board that repainting an original scheme is definetly taboo. Work with what you have, it's only original once...I get it. My newest project, a '37 roadmaster deluxe, does not have an original paintjob. It looks as if the previous would-be-reviver of this work of art kept very much in the style of the original scheme (beautiful hand painted accents/ pinstripes) except for one very crucial factor: his color matching ability was greatly lacking. What should be a luscious verdant green accented by mellow cream is a foppish seafoam on teal (gag). It looks like he visited a hobby shop for the paint...or even home depot. Truth be told I'm just as clueless with regard to where to get high quality paint meant for this kind of restoration. Any ideas? I imagine it will be harder than color matching through NAPA auto parts. Thankfully though, the ugly paint from the previous restoration(s) was incredibly easy to remove and the elegant steel frame is now a brilliant near-mirror finish. Where do I go from here? |
