This is the bike im going to try to have atleast rideable for the bike ride on my birthday April 15 2010 in Kent wa. (I'm also working on a antique Hartford track bike). I'm going to streatch the rear end 1 1/2 feet. I'm moving the seat back too, and droping it. The fork will be a whizzer double springer (like an old harley fork). The hub will be a Bendex 2 speed " kick back". I'm using Electra rims (black or red... havn't decided yet, the frame will be flat black of cource :) ). I also picked up a speedomiter for it. And as far as the handle bars... i'm either going with a flat bar or ape hangers. The seat isn't 50's, it is actually from arround 1910... but i like it, so i'm using it :) The licence plate is an original from 1954 in mint condition!
