* The WCC bike frame that I am using was a coaster brake bike with no front brake, so when I pitched the coaster brake wheel I had no brakes, and no mounts on the frame or forks. I decided to see if I could adapt disc brakes front and rear.*I didn't want to weld to the front forks since the chrome was perfect, so I had to fabricate a complete bolt on setup. Took quite a bit longer than I had anticipated, but I think it is going to work very well.* * Jim, (Manic Mechanic) do you see how I machined another adaptor to bolt to your sprocket adaptor |

Since I never use the universal chain tensioner that comes with the kit, I decided I better build something today for the Winter Build Off Bike.
Decided to try something a little different as far as position and spring tension. I think it is going to work out o.k. I figured since it will be constantly moving, I mounted the 1/2" shaft in a bronze bushing with a grease zerk.

I am gonna go for a excelsior replica. 26x2.125 ballon tires, carbon fiber bike planet fenders, triple tree front forks, with home made springer action, 26x2 steel rims with drum brakes. Streached and lowered frame using 1/8 gage 1 1/8 th inch tube. And a built in jack shaft. Pictures to follow when I get on a computer.

Here's a update... I just got the fork & bars.
Now that I have the ride height, I can chop & rebuild the lower half of the frame...
The front wheel will be painted to match the rear.
I'm still waiting to see some full pics of the other guys builds... but I guess the 'top secret' games haven't stopped?

Hey V.B. I worked on my exhaust today. Built it out of some old cut up handle bars. It tucked up there pretty sweet, with an 1/8" to spare.

John | That's lookin' perty sweet!!
I got a few things done today. I took apart the front wheel & painted it to match the rear one.
I started to make the front disc mount & I went out & found the correct size steel tube to rebuild the lower half of the frame.
I'll post some pics tomorrow. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
