Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

[OddJob]

Clue #4 to my BO 19 build. Can't put anything by @kingfish254 ! He saw a nubbin of a shadow in this 'Horshack shadow test' and figured out it had this saddle on it.

And here is a close up of the saddle...

5 DAYS TO GO

Waiting around to start building. I actually cleaned up the shop without being told to!

That's usually Step One of the build off. Good thing it's the one you can do before it is officially on

I've only found a chainring like yours, but I still don't know the manufacturer

Some Build Off inspiration… These two builds really represent the Build Off to me.. no high dollar parts just some serious creativity and fantastic execution to come up with a killer bike.. You would never imagine such a cool bike when the build started.

That's what I was focused on also. The closest match that I could find was a Fauber chainring.

This part of the frame helps. The field just narrowed!

Latest guess:
1920's Shelby Lindy based on the rack, seat post pinch bolt, and fluted fenders. Or maybe a Mead Ranger.

The chainring still has me stumped though.

I saw the Fauber ring searching around too, but it had extra little horns inside of the circles as well as between the teeth.

Found this camelback with a similar chainring. No info though

Here is a dapper cyclist with a Fauber 6 bubble sprocket
Is OJs bike possibly a Crown Bicycle? Or is the Fauber similarity just a rabbit hole that doesn't match?

Where did you find these?

At the website Robsson.de They have a huge selection and always seem to be in stock

If it does turn out to be a Fauber sprocket and crank, here is more info

I don't believe it's a Fauber. The circles in mine don't have that little 'crown' in them, and my crank arm is a dog leg on the drive side.

The Fauber holes look like little skulls.


Straight down tube. Another clue.

I'm going stir crazy waiting for the build off to begin. The weather was quite agreeable today, so I took a spin on Gerty to a few of my favorite spots.
