Guest notmyname Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Better post up my 25 year old bike project here... Looked like this last week - credit where credit is due... he can out himself.. Frame2.jpg Looks like this now - again - credit where credit is due... he can out himself.. or not - as the case may be... SS stripped.jpg Thanks for the help lads.. much much appreciated.. Collecting it tomorrow and by next week - hopefully will have some paint on.... and may even be ridable....I suspect he's posted on this thread and has himself a pretty pretty SS. Cables 1
the nerd Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 V12 what frame is that? I love the attention to detail grinding the cable guides off...It has been customized so it isn't a frame you can buy ha ha! Jinga 1
V12man Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I suspect he's posted on this thread and has himself a pretty pretty SS.It's more than 1 ss owner... and they both have nice ones...
V12man Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 V12 what frame is that? I love the attention to detail grinding the cable guides off...Its a 1989 schwinn sierra MOS frame - Same as the one grant usher tossed in a bin... owned it since new - been stolen twice and recovered twice... this is its second conversion - I converted it to a ss about 3 years ago and took off all the gearing guides then - now we have added the sliders and taken off the canti brake cable guides and added mounts for hydraulic disk brakes. I have a rigid syncros carbon fork waiting for it. Frame was originally black chrome and thenI painted it purple and black when I did the ss conversion. Now its going to go satin black with lambo green logos - thats my current thinking anyway. Jinga 1
Orbit Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 So here goes... It's that time of year and I'm wanting to build up a ss shredder for winter/ss champs. Going to move components across from an old trek fuelx that I broke one of the chain stays on. Looking for a 26" hartail frame. Steel is real, ti is fly and alu is value. If anybody has anything they willing to part with please let me know. On a student budget. Shot
danthunders Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Ive got a SiD XX fork I want to trade for a Large Steel 29er MTB frame. If you got anything to trade let me know. Thanks
Allrounder Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Did any one buy a flip flop hub? It seems impossible to find in Cape Town. Perhaps a wheelset with a flip flop? Can you spray alu or steel with airasol spray paint?
Cables Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi , not sure if this is the correct forum , but I picked up this bike today . Wanted to know if you guys have any idea which year it could be . It's still very dirty will start the cleaning process tomorrow . It's marked Western Flyer Le Mans. The idea is to build a fixie . Thanks

ThanksMid 70's is my guess - mostly because I owned one around that time as a teenager..

simonfeesh Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hey guys Awesome reading (and seeing) some of your projects I'm planning on restoring this old Made-in-Southern-Africa Peugeot I found on Gumtree. I am planning on keeping it as simple as it is now, powder coating it and replacing the decals and re-chroming all the shiny bits. I am not overly concerned with authenticity but would like it to look good once done. Anyone have any advice on things to avoid as I embark on this? CheersSimon
RichB Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Intense Hard Eddie goes SS.. IH8MUD, Gandalf, Flippa and 1 other 4
Tumbleweed Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Not too sure where to post this, so here it goes here...finally made this officially mine... It's kinda purdy, don't you think? The M&M man seems to approve.. Edited February 10, 2016 by Tumbleweed Stretched@Birth, L.T.G and the nerd 3
Hairy Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Nice Tumbles. ......tell me do you wear that as flag dress on the weekend's, AlanD and Tumbleweed 2
