Rekka did some great adaptor cups for this, I had some Prolite 1"ers and a Hoffman stem to put onto a Schwinn Jay Miron frame.
It sounds easy and convenient, till you've got to find some of the damn things.

Howsabout the reverse? Isn't there a specific set of bearings you can use to put your 1 1/8" forks into an Old School 1" frame?

the ghetto way of doing it is use two sets of 1" bearings, taken out of their cases (you can fit almost 2 sets in each cup, held in with grease) then use the other parts of the aheadset and clamp on stem

its fairly straightforward to do

v cool. i bet the 2nd gear works way better than 2nd gear on a sturmey archer hub, a la nuts on crossbar type grifter / chopper gearing... ;)

Have you allowed the frame to rust then clearcoated or oiled over the top?
Or is it one of those rust-look paints?

I read a forum thread just yesterday about achieving a "rust" finish on a bike, whilst ensuring that the rust is halted in its tracks.
It's different.

Yeah, that's genuine rust.
I spilt oil on the frame trying to lube up that 3-speed - so I lubed up the whole frame.
The sheen's now gone, it look's pretty cool.
I wasn't trying to preserve it.

So what's this technique for halting rust in it's tracks?
