Day 3 I won't add much text here, the video update says it all. If you have around 7 minutes to spare in your day, it will bring you up to speed; the key word being 'speed' as in OddJob build speed! :bigsmile: EDIT: I misspoke in the video relating that I went to see my mom on Monday, it...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kudos. Faded Glory is maybe my best rider of all BACK40 builds. And yes, the fork and fenders came from a woman's Monark and the frame, wheels, bar / stem, and saddle all were a men's Monark, early '40s. I switched the drivetrain over from skip tooth to 1/2"...

I'm with the Beehive crowd all the way! Plus it's orange, and you're building an Oriole....

I've been to Savannah. Even asked to see the stash. Ain't gonna happen! :bigsmile:

Chad T, the polish king. This, Not this,

Thanks friend! The ideas are brewing.

Day 2 Yesterday after my early morning stint in the BACK40, I headed down south to spend the day with my 91 yr old mother and get her to and from a Dr appointment. She's lived a long active life, and some of her organs are getting worn out. We've been very lucky to have her around this long...

@SILVERKINGPC , thanks for the input! Yep, I found that photo on RRB when I was perusing the parameters of the internets. That is my bike, minus the broken steer tube! Good to see you pop up here again.

He has Crash-ed the RRB BO annual party~! And that's a good thing!

Please pass on my kudos to QueenPfish on her fabulous flowers and flora! That is one unique frame you've got there KF. My next two days are extraction and deconstruction as well. Do you use just regular dish soap, and what material is your big brush, regular natural bristles or stiffer metal...

Your parts pile has potential! Old skool cool.

Frame and fork already have achieved Rat-isfaction! Will be watching fer sure.

Your 'Middle Aged' build last year was an all-time fav of mine. Cross breeding bikes, seems to be right up your alley! RaT oN~!

Great name! You'll have fun with this and we'll have fun watching you!

This thing is coated in rust. I'm using a light touch, just trying to get it to a smooth surface. Leaving it the way it was when I found it wouldn't be a challenge. I'm thinking a reverse mustard process, where I cover original 'patina' as you call it that I want to keep with mustard, and...

Nice bikes! I def want to flip my 7-seatpost facing rearward to get me more room. Hopefully my bearings in all places just need cleaned and lubed. Cross your 'bleeding fingers'! :21:

It's my Scandahoovian heritage. We don't pronounce our T's well.
