Got a few hours to strip and start the rebuild. For those that don't know this is a very rare X ##### 1935 or '36 Rollfast TriBar Zep Frame with the curved Elgin Robin down tube. I stripped the paint because it wasn't original anyway, only the darts and head tube enamel was and i toook plenty of pics to duplicate them later if it were to be restored. The original HP Snyder sprocket was too worn to retain given I am putting a brand new chain on it and since i plan to ride it I did not want to go out and stretch a new chain. I used this Shelby sprocket instead with near NOS dog leg crank - original (the one that came with the bike when i got it 
) was bent and not original anyway. Fork is a Westfield one, not an HP Snyder unit, but close enough. I am not trying to restore this, but I am trying to use period correct. The tube joints are very nice as you can see by the close ups. They really built them well back in the day! 8)
