This weekend I'll start into the motor

What do matches and bicycles have in common?............................... Match safe's. :) Found this cool little Mohawk and Premier match safe in some of my grandfathers things. (he recently passed) He lived in England and loved this sorta stuff. The safe lists 2 locations to shop for...

Haven't got into the engine yet. Inside of the tank is clean but the carb is fouled. (Gas has turned into varnish) It has good spark and good compression. Figure that's 2/3rds of the battle. :)

Soooooo want that! :) I've had a little time to start in on the bike....What a change a little TLC can make. (Although it still looks like it's been beaten repeatedly with the ugly stick. :)

Bike is starting to shape up. I had to replace the neck cause it broke when tightening the new bars. Luckily I had an old 40's neck down in the basement. I'm actually kinda happy it broke now and not on the road. Pedals I saved from a Schwinn Exercycle I used for a build here a few years back...

Caught a vid clip the other morning for the promo for Backroad Bounty, the new TV show that landed this bike in my care. (Bike is actually in the commercial)

A friend of mine just finished filming a new antique show with the same guys that started American Pickers/ Canadian Pickers. This 1947 Saginaw Powerbike is one of the first items he purchased for the new show. (Show airs in Oct) To make a long story short, this ugly duckling now belongs to me...

Since the bike now belongs to me, only thing left to do is figure out a treatment. I thought about a full resto but I'm missing a battery box and a few other hard to find items that I'm sure I won't find cheep. I've considered giving it a Military treatment like the Cushman airborne m53 but I...

Oh yeah, I built a few bikes here. ;) In other news, this ugly duckling is all mine! :) :) :)

Hello folks. been a longtime since I visited the forum. Life often has a way of getting between you and the things you love. I started up a prop company a few years back and it has consumed my life. I can't complain, I get to be creative everyday and am completely surrounded by very talented...

Seems Like forever since I last visited the forum. With the launch of my company (Sinister Laboratories) Other than my daily ride I haven't had much time for bicycles. My girls keep me very busy with costuming, and business has been good. That being said, that's all about to change. (bicycles...

Just needed a kick in the pants. Thx Rob. Been meaning to pop in for sometime now.

Well After a couple "did ya fall of the face of the planet?" emails I figured it was long over due for me to check in with my friends on R.R.B. Last year I launched a new company Sinister Laboratories. Props/sets/costuming and custom creations of all shapes and sizes. It's consumed my life and...

Haven't we seen this red/bluebird on the bay before? (couple months back?)
