wow lots of really cool builds this time and great builders so since I have been lagging I had to get something
going on the Murray....I had this nos shifter in the parts pile that happens to fit this frame so multi speed
it will be 8)

started the mock up today with a few parts from the pile , just letting it come together without any sence
of direction.....here it so far

more later

a little chop chop on the tank and some fitting , shifter and tank now fit together ...just need a little dress up.

Icant believe its been almost 2 months sice I touched this bike.... one busy summer for sure so do I back out or make a mad dash to the finish ?

 

[Schwinnspastic]

I tried but just couldn't do it, I am a crank and cables away from being rideable...this is all the photos I could
get before I ran out of light.
the frame as it sat for quite a while ...more of that old castol sighn

I didnt have the headlight for this tank so I made one

some brown primer , a little paint on the tank and some assembly the last pics before I ran out of daylight

I will finnish the bike wheather or not making the deadline

I've heard it said "if you cant finnish a bike in 2 months you need a new hobby" so I guess i am going to switch
and build a car for the next few months so i traded a few bikes for this old car to build a rat rod out of.

I did ride the bike up and down the street but with no brakes and I dug through every bike in the pile
and all my parts boxes to no availe , I pick one up at my lbs this week.
a quickie primer job and my attempt at painting the tank to look like a fish but no time to paint eyes or
make it look scaley......this is my new fishing bike . It is what it is

Congrats to all who had a lot more time to build some great looking bikes !!
