Odd as it may sound... You might want to also put a Suntour suspension seatpost on the bike as well. One can not know until they tried, but I'd bet that might take care of several of the frames "problems" in one shot. I just mentioned a proflex fork because I thought it would look cool...

I bag'd this picture from CABE because it shows how your "funk-a-idilic" Stevens could be turned into a really fun ride. Definitely a conversation starter when used for pub crawls!

Stevens was the brand name for the bikes produced/ sold by my German distributor (out of Hamburg) back in the early/ mid 90's. I distinctly remember that bike at the EuroBike trade show +/- 1994. Yes it has some Newsboy "influence as well as CBR 3-bar and So. Cal. "strand" riding because I let...

Hey baron... have you ever been suckered? Being a collector of "something", doing as much research as you can on what you are trying to buy, seeing an ad posted for just that right "thing" you want to add to your collection, getting a hold of the seller that swears that what he is selling in...

Professor Buzz Kill checking in: You are better off just assembling and going out riding the bikes, rather than trying to get a "picture perfect" bike with all the correct logos because by making fake /counterfeit logos can potentially get you in trouble with the original manufactures or the...

"One step at a time Baron". Maybe rent space in someone else's shop? Maybe take a part of your apartment (like a closet) and that be your space, than grow as you need to. Getting your perfect work space is not a "linear" path, but just being motivated to create/ modify/ build will draw...

Fine finish and electrical area (I'm starting to build Ebikes).

What does a bottle or 2 of nail polish cost? a couple of quid? I'll bet you spent more than that last night at the local "watering hole". Just do it! Make mistakes!

Topline was a small CNC machine "job shop" that first started making crank arms for Gary Cook to compete against the company he sold off (Cook Bros. Racing). They then began making Grafton Joystix until where were so may structural failures they offered John Grafton another style of crank that...

Fake flight, made me think of hopping up & down while flapping your arms while you're squawking like a bird .;)

Funny you should post this right now because John T, Chris Chance's former partner is sitting next me drinking a chilly Sapporo beers right now. John has been my best friend for the last 40+ years. he lives 300 miles south of me so it is a real pleasure!

From what I can see of the front fork, it looks like a cargo bike with a smaller front wheel. My guess is that it is someones custom innovation/ restoration. VERY COOL, I'd own it!

Ti rings & spyder electron beam welded together.
