a friend gave me this frame that he was going to junk. I wanted to see if we can make a custom build out of it and install a street legal engine on it.
Hi Mustie1 thanks for letting us all escape with you into your workshop we need you more than ever! keep up the great work and black tyres with white walls definitely 😉
When you sat that old Reo engine up on the bike to see how it looked, I could not believe my eyes. I am 67 years old and when I was 2 my dad had a Reo Royale. I have photos of me and my twin brother being pulled around the yard with my dad in tow. I loved that old mower and being the mechanic twin, I also have photos, of me with dad's big old cap on working on it. Believe it or not long after the old mower fell apart, that old engine powered a go cart for us and I could never part with it. I still have it after all these years sitting in my work shop. I think these mowers were sold more in the north, because I recently joined a Reo engine Facebook group and they seem to be more common up there. I was born and raised in Southeast Texas and never saw another one there. I really enjoy your channel and you have inspired me to get my old Reo running again. My dad and my twin are gone now, but those fond memories will be with me forever. Thanks buddy, Loren R. Silva, Petit Jean Mountain, Arkansas.
you are awesome since watching your video's I pulled a Mustie and grabbed a self propelled junker from roadside and got it running even mowed my lawn with it. Never would have done it without the knowledge from you. thank you
Hey mustie1, I've been a subscriber for the last 4 - 5 years. I enjoy all of your videos but I especially enjoy your bike builds. Your build process is great to watch. Thanks for all that you do.
Watching you dismantle that Schwinn brought back 50 year old memories of changing tubes and things when I was a little kid. Ball bearings always went bouncing across the garage resulting in a test to see how few the race could run on without the remaining ones falling out. I discovered standing the bike upside down like a tripod on handlebars and seat was the perfect height for a seven year old to do major suspension work. I came across a spoke wrench one day and what began as a simple job ended up with a horrible wobbly mess. The more I tried to straighten the wheels out the worse they got! I don't think I ever really got the hang of truing wheels.
Saved and bought a Phantom when 12. It carried me and 50 newspapers twice a day. It was and still is one one of the most enduring and smooth riding bikes. At 78 cannot ride it anymore lacking power. May check out putting an engine on if one can be found not needing welding to install. It was a wonderful time to be a kid. I took it on many trips on the roads around Pueblo Co. And chased a few ball bearings too.
Started watching your channel about a month ago to learn to fix some of my equipment and keep my mind busy during the pandemic. Im pretty sure I have watched all of your "will it run" stuff. My wife says she could likely clean a carburetor just from being in the room while I'm watching 😂😁 I have Learned a ton from you sir. Fixed all my stuff and now look for free equipment to tinker with. So far I have fixed 6 mowers, 8 trimmers and 4 snowblowers and am always looking for more. I build custom teardrop campers, engines were way out of my comfort zone. Love your videos. Subscribed. Thanks for the informative videos and making them easy to follow. I have tried the TH-cam channel thing myself but struggle with being on camera and in the public eye. Kudos to you sir, I dont know how you do it.
I'm liking black tires. The double chain guards 👍 Maybe raise the seat. I appreciate seeing the layout and design thought process. You definitely have board track roots, the way you layout the bars and seat. Look at an old Penton motorcycle.
I like the color as well but maybe as sidewall color. It seems to put too much attention on the wheels. Maybe when the motor is done it will change my mind.
Hey man, I really doesn´t know you, don´t know for how long have you working like that, but you know what I really know?? That you should feel really proud about this project, it´s wonderful and you are doing an amazing job!! Cheers from Brazil
It is, but I think it's a bit too much on this particular build...Id go for a black tyre, picking up on the rest of the colouration, (plus a lot depends on what he does with the engine in the finish). On another bike where red was only an accent colour, then I think the red tyres would be a real killer!
Friend had a big heavy Schwinn with balloon tires big spring seat and a big springer front end a real smooth luxury ride looking good thank you for sharing
Great watching you work there mustie1 bikes coming along pretty good looking good I like how you make it look antique looking good all right be watching for the next one thank you
Brother M1, Great movie!!! Brick colored tires and call it the Brickyard Roadster. You're probably not going to have very many opportunites where the brick-ish pinstriping/patina goes with the brick-ish tires. Just sayin'
Im glad you tried tung oil. I've seen a lot of people put boiled linseed oil over faded paint, but always wondered what tung oil would do. It is one of my favorite wood finishes.
Mustie, Steering geometry is not as simple as you're assuming. You have too much "rake", and therefore too much caster. If you bend the forks forward then you also have to reset the steering tube angle forward. The steering tube axis has to intersect the ground one-to-two inches in front of the center of the front tire's ground contact patch.
@@johnenright4969 I've designed and built three recumbent bikes from scratch, but not until after I thoroughly researched bike geometry and related ride characteristics. The advice I gave is like a good car alignment. It keeps a bike tracking straight instead of darting to either side. If you've seen a few of Mustie's videos where he rides his creations, that's a recurring problem.
You definitive will need to de-modernize the red cover on the engine + replace the plastic pull-handle on the starter with a wooden stick or something.
Be real careful with those fenders. Vibrations cause the metal to fatigue and fail at mounting points. Especially when it tangles with the front tire, it's really ugly. There's several people on the forums who have been sent to the ER and even ICU from fender failures. Also - even if you're only going 25 mph pleeease get a front brake. If you want to keep with your theme look for a front drum brake hub. I promise you having a front brake will not only be way safer, but will greatly increase your enjoyment of the bike.
I’m really starting to love this build. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a apocalyptic rejuvenation come to life. Personally I think the black tires would look better, but also I would kick that seat back up a little even if it means leaning forward a tad. It sure will beat hitting a painful bump and then ending up in the fetal position on the ground with tears in your eyes LOL. Never a dull moment watching and learning from you that’s for sure. Thank you for taking us along. You my friend are the living definition of “waste not want not“ and you do it with a style unmatched! See you next week, unless you get motivated and throw in a filler mid week (hint, hint, hint) that would be awesome. Thank you Mustie1.
Hey.... why don’t you do a bio TH-cam? What is your background, how you got started in mechanics? Where you worked? How did you get your experience? How do you make money to fund this? Would be helpful for some younger viewers... Thanks for all the informative videos.
Hiya Mustie, when knocking the headset cups out, try putting your rod / punch on the inside of the steerer tube, that way you don’t run the risk of marking the paintwork. You could even make the tool, it’s just a tube with four slots cut in it and they’re slightly splayed outward. When you insert it through the cup, the splayed part springs out and engages with the rim of the cup. Anyway always look forward to your great videos. Tim 🇬🇧
You know the way I see it on the motor drive side because of chain height you need upper and lower guards because your pant legs could get caught in either location.
Liking the "used" looks, have you considered using an old suspension spring for the saddle support like they used on the old penny farthing bikes? 🤔 Keep em coming 😁👍. Regards, Tiny, Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧
Moe: I'm a census taker, where are you from ? Curly: Lake Winnipesaukee Moe: How do you spell that ? Curly: Make it Lake Erie, I have an uncle from there. Old 3 Stooges bit. lol
Heating, bending and weakening the forks would have been my LAST choice- if you took and fabricated a new simple hoop where the tops of the legs attach to the spring and make the hoop have longer ears it would have gotten what you wanted and left the forks unmolested and strong
Next time my girlfriend calls me a hoarder for all the lawn mowers, parts, and stuff I have in my garage I’m showing her his bike graveyard and asking, “Is this what you want? I’m not afraid to go there.” :D
Great way to start a Sunday morning by watching a new Mustie video. Just watching your videos has motivated me to start projects I've been waiting to start. Thank you for being a great human Mustie
Alibaba is good place to start your search for these engines over there you can find multi piston r.c. Car and airplane engines to gas bike and motorcycle and utv engines motorcycle engines up to 300cc oil cooled two strokes and four strokes up to 250cc water and oil cooled I enjoy parousing thru them utv engines can be found up to 1100cc engines
I agree but, remember this video is about building around the 4-cycle engine he bought and comparing it to the Project Farm build. Would be nice to see them racing against each other out at PF's farm. Heck, a drag race between PF's motorhome and Mustie1's Police trike could cap the festivities.
Hi Mustie, finally found something that i do different, learned so much from you i don't know where to start.. but fitting an inner tire on a bicycle using a bit of baby-powder on the rubber makes everything 'settle' so much more easy. a bit messy maybe but you should try it. cheers for all your videos! never miss one.
That would probably look the best, indeed. Still kinda curious to see what the white tires would look like mounted on the bike, but I guess he will end up with the black set of tires. We shall see.
Yep, i'm with you on that. I feel that if he uses the black tyres, it should be 'orange' and if he uses the 'orange' tyres the tank should be black. I think the white tyres would be too garish UNLESS he got the black tyres with white rims (which I thought he said he was going to get in Part 1). What do you say jneutra1?
I kinda like the, Orangey tires on there, and yes the older looking motor was much more appropriate. I, really, love your vids, Darren. Thank you so much, for keeping it rolling during these uncertain times. You are “The Man”.
If the inner tube isn't sitting in the tyre uniformly, you can deflate it almost entirely remove both the tyre and tube and move the innertube by the valve around in the tyre. In effect just spinning it around so it finds the most even fitting within the tyre. If it doesn't spin freely using some french chalk or even talc to lube it a little so you can get it free of any patches where it sticks which cause the bobbling when the tyre is inflated. If there are group of patches on the inner tube it may cause it to inflate in a non-uniform manner and cause the bobbling effect. Then you can only get a new inner tube to get a tyre that is uniformly inflated. I think I told you this a couple of years ago. Maybe you could write this down somewhere.
Hey mustie just wanted to say I learned as much from watching you tinker as I have in just under a year working as a small engines tech. It's great work you're doing and I hope to be as good as you are one day.

All of the bike builds lined up upstairs represents the timeline of Mustie's channel and it is super exciting to watch a new build join the ranks!
Dear Ralph
👍👌👏 Well said, Sir.
Best regards, luck and health.
Totally!
Need more bikes to fit in the Econoline the way I see it
We'll be binge-watching the playlist for this one before long.
you are awesome since watching your video's I pulled a Mustie and grabbed a self propelled junker from roadside and got it running even mowed my lawn with it. Never would have done it without the knowledge from you. thank you
Nice work!
Pure Mustie 1 . His enthusiasm and creativity comes out with small bikes and home made bikes easy to see where his heart is . Great video .
Been watching your generator series! Pretty awesome work! Thank you for what you show us!!! Great Job !

I love the craftsmanship you posses. A forgotten art. Thanks for bringing this too us
Very cool project, thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family.
Happy Sunday morning to everyone out in Mustie1 land.
I just watched Back to the Future yesterday, and Doc. Brown rides this exact bike in the movie.
nice work & the hair flows like the bike
Definitely the black tires...against the white-ish rims and the black of the lower half of the frame it would look very retro.
Love the brick color tires. Thanks for taking us along stay safe.
Watching you dismantle that Schwinn brought back 50 year old memories of changing tubes and things when I was a little kid. Ball bearings always went bouncing across the garage resulting in a test to see how few the race could run on without the remaining ones falling out. I discovered standing the bike upside down like a tripod on handlebars and seat was the perfect height for a seven year old to do major suspension work. I came across a spoke wrench one day and what began as a simple job ended up with a horrible wobbly mess. The more I tried to straighten the wheels out the worse they got! I don't think I ever really got the hang of truing wheels.
Saved and bought a Phantom when 12. It carried me and 50 newspapers twice a day. It was and still is one one of the most enduring and smooth riding bikes. At 78 cannot ride it anymore lacking power. May check out putting an engine on if one can be found not needing welding to install. It was a wonderful time to be a kid. I took it on many trips on the roads around Pueblo Co. And chased a few ball bearings too.
It felt good to see the air go in and all the times i fixed flats because of all the goat head stickers around my neighborhood

It's nice, it picks up the brick colour in the old decals on the bike.
Of course he forgot one option... white walled tyres

Now I’m sold on the rust tires. I love Rat Rod bikes and you have done a great job.
You know it's Sunday when a video from mustie1 shows up, so no it's coffee and video time!
loving the lake shot at the end. What a beautiful part of the world to live in.
That may just be the longest half inch socket I have ever seen.
Great watching you work there mustie1 bikes coming along pretty good looking good I like how you make it look antique looking good all right be watching for the next one thank you
If you don't tell that the older engine has too many horses, i won't tell.
True, not like the authorities will test it on a dyno
LOL!!!
So nice to see another bike build. I have faith it will be something special!

Great movie!!!

I would like to see that too
i think if you watch more of Musties vids you might find a lot of answers for your questions.
In a previous life Mustie was a CIA operative that specialized in South American wet work. But we don't talk about any of that now.
Paul Frederick He was known as “The Mechanic”...
He mentioned that he worked at a factory that produced razor blades.
This will be very cool once again....very creative job!
The last Motor looked More Mustified!!!; )
I'm ready for another episode of this interesting build!!!
I like the brick tires, just dirty them up some and they'll look right
Yes they will look great after a little wear in
Looking good having ur vid on a Sunday morning it breaks the boring week up looking forward to next one
This looks like Pee Wee's Big Adventure bicycle. Pretty neat.
Ha!!! Pee Wee wishes

I look forward to your shows all week and you never disappoint me, brilliant 😊
You know the way I see it on the motor drive side because of chain height you need upper and lower guards because your pant legs could get caught in either location.
Unlikely your pants are going to be near the bottom of the rear sprocket. Bottom of the front sprocket isn't a problem
That left side chain will be a meat grinder
Awesome job & video. I always your video to compliment with my exercise bike & I' m glad that's is an hour long video. Thanks. looking for part 3
Liking the "used" looks, have you considered using an old suspension spring for the saddle support like they used on the old penny farthing bikes? 🤔 Keep em coming 😁👍. Regards, Tiny, Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧

Heating, bending and weakening the forks would have been my LAST choice- if you took and fabricated a new simple hoop where the tops of the legs attach to the spring and make the hoop have longer ears it would have gotten what you wanted and left the forks unmolested and strong
not what l want and forks were retempered,
THANK YOU...for sharing. I watched and very much enjoyed.
you have that nice mew modded sheet metal roller just design your own chain guard
I did not know that, about the trapped air while welding. Yet thinking about it your explanation makes perfect sense.
Love Mustie1 but he needs a theme song suggest Johnny Cash’s song “One piece at a time”
I like the tire! Matches the patina of the rest of the bike real well!
Next time my girlfriend calls me a hoarder for all the lawn mowers, parts, and stuff I have in my garage I’m showing her his bike graveyard and asking, “Is this what you want? I’m not afraid to go there.” :D
Fisty McBeefPunch have you built a racing lawn mower yet?
Great way to start a Sunday morning by watching a new Mustie video. Just watching your videos has motivated me to start projects I've been waiting to start. Thank you for being a great human Mustie

53:55. “Dry balls.....just won’t work”. Correct, and on the bike as well!
I did the same with my 1951 phantom. ripped around on it for the last three years now!
Mustie1 videos in 2021 will feature a ponytail.
I was just thinking: A couple weeks more and he will start to work on a silver Delorean, changing his name back to Doc Emmett Brown :)

Or a video rebuilding an antique electric barber's hair trimmer and first test in 57 years.

Thank you again for brightening our Sunday especially during the lockdown here in the UK. Love the bike.
Was hoping for an actual white wall tire :(
That would probably look the best, indeed. Still kinda curious to see what the white tires would look like mounted on the bike, but I guess he will end up with the black set of tires. We shall see.
Hopefully many episodes to come. Take your time Daren. Make a Master Piece.
I'm not a huge fan of the gas tank cover, I feel it's too shiny even against the cleaned up chrome of the other parts of the bike.
Yep, i'm with you on that. I feel that if he uses the black tyres, it should be 'orange' and if he uses the 'orange' tyres the tank should be black. I think the white tyres would be too garish UNLESS he got the black tyres with white rims (which I thought he said he was going to get in Part 1). What do you say jneutra1?
@@David-yo5ws Agreed, on all points you mentioned.
It needs a bit of Bling. Fuel tank cover is just right. Understated.
Bike builds are my favourite... really has flavour
looking real sweet!! i did a light wet sand and a clear coat on my old balloon tire Challenger.. i was happy with the result...
Like the Tung Oil finish.
Fluid Film is a good option too.
Used it on several projects and tools.
Awesome stuff.
I kinda like the, Orangey tires on there, and yes the older looking motor was much more appropriate. I, really, love your vids, Darren. Thank you so much, for keeping it rolling during these uncertain times. You are “The Man”.
I love those TIRES!!!! Keep those... they just set that thing off, without a big BLING, but a whole lot of "Look at me!"
Thanks for another video!!! I like the brick color tire.
So Cool!! I like the handle bars up and back..
Thanks for another video. Love watching them!
This is a really cool build. For tire color, I think black would blend best, but that's just my opinion. Can't wait to see it on the road!
Love the style and the carefully maintained patina!
She is looking pretty sweet, on the front end and the tank looks perfect. Keep it going Darren.
