Margate, living by the sea, setting up an arts club and building beach cruisers........

Too true, the saddle is an accident waiting to happen! surprisingly comfortable though, would never know it was metal.

its for riding along the sea front, so don't ever go fast..... the hub is 1930's and better than any coaster hub i have ever used.

My latest beach bike. Built mostly from 1930's american parts. Frame is a CWC Western Flyer. Need dog leg cranks and period pedals to finish it.

this arrived today.

camera working yet? pictures?

nice...... is it a Williams chianset?

the motorised long john looks rad.......

i am not ruling out a geared hub. i would like to build it up close to period to start......

but if anyone has a suitable 3 speed wheel from the 1930's please let me know.

yup its an old Victorian shop. soon to be an arts club.

the cargo bike in the pictures was sold a while back. not sure who made it. served me well, but was a bit too small for my needs.

that looks like a good direction to be heading. lauterwasser bars?

how did it used to look built? pictures?

is it going to be baby blue? i feel it would be a huge shame to re-paint this. looks super as it is. maybe build it first then see? you can always paint it at a later date. i love that it has a riders name on it. the history of the fame would be a huge selling point to me.

colin! i may take you up on that...... or at the very least pick your brains.

thanks dude, just moved in. that's my other current project.

It's in my front room at the moment. With the box on the front i think it will be almost the with of the place......

Found this brooks B33 in a box of parts. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a dutch replacement.

thanks for the links robman. some very helpful links. the bike arrived today. it is huge. the size of a mini.

i am a sucker for resilion, they are of the right age and look great...... that said, i second ElGato, the Monitor looks very nice. do you have a pair?

edit: its going to be fixed, you will only use a front?

Robman, great looking bike. any more pictures? would love to see the construction of the box? is it all wood? part wood with a metal frame?

This bike motor chat is really informative.......food for thought.

i am getting swayed by the possibility of using a geared wheel.....maybe a motor.... one step at a time.

Ride a bike in Margate and surrounding area? This is a group to arrange meetings for rides, drinks and to sell your stuff.

hilary stone? or retro bike?

can i buy this please? sent you a message..... not sure you got it..... PM me, let me know. thanks
