Marvel mystery oil in the proper amount will handle the needed lube properties. Red and black can. Thats all I'm going to say.

God I miss him.

howdy, red-
maybe i missed it and dont know it, but where on your old frame did it crack?
i got to looking at your muffler mounting hardware, and was just curious... wondering if the torque/stress being put on such a small area may have adverse effects.
i re-built a stretch awhile back, and it had a simple extra tube for the front mount welded on. not near as clean-looking as your set-up.
just trying to get ideas for BLACK SABBATH (still waiting for motorkit) |

My Micargi frame developed hairline cracks around the head tube on the bottom tube. What puzzles me is they are on the side not on the underside where I would think the most stress would be. My first Micargi frame cracked (actually the weld seperated) on the underside where the cranks mount. It may just be this style of frame or I need to lose some weight!!. I'll try to take pictures.

I did some research before i got the greenline and the companies that handled both lines always said the greenline was better than the micargi. |

I think that Micargi frames are real cheesy & weak!... The black Micargi on my website that I built for a customer, developed so many cracks that he eventually paid me to transfer everything over onto a Schwinn cruiser frame!  |

I would triangulate weld that front end for better strength.
It should have been built that way in the first place.
Something like this old Mongoose.
I had a frame like this as a kid.
Man that was a strong frame.
Still though I love the look of those stretch frames.
