Non-Holden related, what's going on, or been going on in your shed? What are you working on at the moment? The more pics, the merrier. Show us what you got, maybe we can help with a few parts..

Some of you guys may know, some may not. I collect vintage/old pushbikes. This is my favourite one, restored from a basket case about 2 years ago. Vic Police bike, I swapped a Marchants bottle and game of Battling Tops for it. The important things were there, the frame, wheels, chain and sprocket, the rest I had.
Hopefully pics come up OK:

I swapped some old stuff for a VHS of old Homicide episodes and a bunch of 50's & 60's adds (think Monaro, smokes etc). I've still got it, watched it many times (Jackie Weaver was about 20)..
I remember Hunter *cough* I mean my grandfather told me about Hunter.
Matlock, Div4 and Homicide were all prime-time here in Mexico . Then later when I was in gr6, Solo One was on after school.

Latest project..

Submitted by HR ambo on Thu, 07/02/2019 - 18:44.

I started with an old rusty frame, no wheels etc. I had an old lady's bike I got a few parts off. It's not finished yet, this is just a mock up. Usually something this rusty I'd repaint, but but this one I thought I'd leave the rusty crusty stuff on it. I've repainted nothing, just soaked a lot in CLR and bit of oven cleaner.

A bit like that. I'll go through all the bearings etc and re-grease. It'll look ruff and rusty, but should be good for another 70-80 years.

Pushie

Submitted by Quick 64 on Sat, 09/02/2019 - 17:09.

This is my bike I rebuilt just finished building before the missus became sick. The frame is an ally one that old mate across the road threw out. I had to have special headset cups machined as my fork tube was too big. It is a single speed because it is flat around here. We were intending on going on bike rides but Jules got sick and she hasn't got back on her bike yet. It all takes time.

That's a bewdy, good you brought it back from the dead. I hope one day Jules is well enough for her to get back on the bike, and you guys go for 1,000,000 mile ride.
Good luck.
