Got this one all done. I figured the Bonneville Salt Flats would be a perfect place for pictures. It is still pretty soggy out there so I got a few pictures on the salt and the rest are from the surrounding area.
Part breakdown:
1957 Schwinn Flying star single bar frame
Custom made cast aluminum tank plate
Phantom sprocket, 1935 Schwinn Cranks, and a balloon chainguard
Person seat with custom Schwinn laid back post
Beehive springer
Rear wheel is a Schwinn s2 with a Jerald slick tire, front is s7 with vintage tire
Various other unknown parts
Here's the build thread:

Phenomenal build but these photos are just absolutely

Great build. It looks right at home on the salt. The photos do it justice too! Well done.
 
Dang, with so many great photos from so many great angles, that bike would get all the matches on all the dating apps! It wouldn't stay "single" for long! That is one sharp photogenic bike! You did a great job hopping up that old Schwinn Kram! I love it!
 
Love this build man! Such a mean hot rod vibe. The tank sets it off, but flow so well too. Stance for days too! Well done!
BRAVO!
 
Love the look and stance on this one. Fat and skinnys give it that, Don't mess with me attitude. I'm so using that finned alum somewhere on a future weekend cruiser . Congrats.
 
Love it! It really has that racer vibe. I don't think the SCTA has a bicycle class but that could be fun. The patina is great, terrific tire combo and that beehive just sets it off so nicely. Great work!
