hi everyone! this is going to be my entry into the build off. the frame is a prewar wards/hawthorn frame i got 2 weeks ago.

i am going for a shop bike style, but don't really have a plan for this, and i would appreciate suggestions.

killer head badge!!

chain guard

the front wheel (and my shoes)

fork

i think this is all the photos. (sorry for them being so crappy)
thanks for looking and good luck to everyone else in this competition!

Um... Maybe it was just my computer playing up, if others could see them before...

[Glen]

No, can't see them now... just links that you have to click on for the image to open.

Looks like a great start for your 'shop bike'!

Welcome to the forum and the build off, it's great to have a young person involved here. You will get plenty of support and answers to any questions that you might have along the way!

Let us know a little bit about yourself in the Intro section also.

ok i got some work done and a idea of what i want to do last Friday. sorry i couldn't get the photos to work right to upload it.

i will put a box on the rack,

cut a piece of metal to fit in as a tank

and cut a slit in the chain guard so it goes right through it.

i will have a different rear wheel. (my pastor is giving me a skip tooth rear wheel and a rear fender Friday.)

 

[Mister.Rod]

ok yesterday i had to fix the threads on the fork and i started working on the mount for a headlight. anyone got any ideas for the forks? they are kinda boring.

Truss rods! Run a search on here and you will see some examples of some home/custom made examples...
