I can't believe you had those forks and trusses just sitting around. :shock:

Really nice build going on that frame. I reconized the forks right away as a set I have on a Mossberg 3-speed from the 70's. I pulled out my pics of it and found it was a match frame and all. Mossberg is a gun factory based in Little Falls New York. Their bikes were rebadged frames like a lot of bikes back then and was a feable atempt to save their factory workers jobs.
I had set my Mossberg aside a few years back avoiding parting it out for my projects. Your build is an inspiration to get it back on my project list as a skinny tired cruiser, something i thought of doing last spring when I documented my bikes with picture folders. Can't wait to see what you do with the paint.
