How did you clean the tire?
Looks great.

Filled tub up with 1 inch of water, put in tire, sprayed the sidewall with bleche-white and used toothbrush gently. Then quickly rinsed with the tub water and more water from spout. Did this twice on both sides.

+1 this stuff works great on all kinds of things! Shoes, purses… tires.. I always have a bottle around and am shocked with how much I use it.

The grips were really manky and stuck. Got that off, next up some chrome polish.

Working on finding this bike

Conspiracy Chunky stem to go with the Hitman fork. And some levers for the Strips.

Sorry, wrong thread, brain stew.

Cataloging. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I think I saved every single brake pad I every bought, way to many American BB's to count, headsets... - crazy!

Back to waiting on parts.

Are these heavy? Whats the rise?

Nope, oddly enough they are very light. Rise? quite low. I would say 7.5? maybe 8 tops?

Edit. Yup, 8". Which at that time was quite high, given the Hoffman Jumping bars were something stupid like 5.5 or 6".

Cool

Sacrificial deconstruction of this VFR I picked off the curb  last night.

Thanks to a Brother here for trading me the Flite spindle so I would have era correct, I am finally starting to build the Trick-Star

Nothing, just don’t want the four usable parts to go to waste. https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.bmxmuseum.com/user-image … 23bad.jpeg

I had to work on my toilet 2 weeks ago for that issue. I replaced the flapper thinking that was the problem. Nope. Then noticed the filler tube riser plastic was super brittle. I barely touched it snd the whole thing snapped off at the base. There has been a crack getting larger and larger so instead of replacing the tube I went all out and replaced the whole damned toilet. $138 American Standard works great! I found a date stamp for the old one of 1980. It was time lol.

Thank you for the idea. Headed to home depot for a toilet now

138 for a toilet. That's how much my seat post cost so I think it's time

Top notch build, love them pedals!!!

I've already taken them to a calf. They're every bit as spiteful as they look
