TRADITIONAL Swan Song

[MattiThundrrr]

This is probably my last build. That's why I named it Swan Song. Just not up to it anymore

This was what I was afraid to ask. I have always enjoyed your bikes, as well as the flint knapping you shared. I am looking forward to seeing everything you share of the other builds, your style is one of my personal favorites.

Still sad that you are moving out of the bike scene. It's always been fun to see you toys and you cool mockups. How is Swan Song coming along?

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Looking forward to more of this one!

Installed the original seat from my '41 Elgin. It nicely follows the lines of the custom seat post. I usually try to drop the seat as low as possible, but I cannot find my lucky 7 wedge-mount seat post. If I find it, I will be able to lower it all the way down.

Installed a vintage Monark chain ring and crank similar to the original. I would prefer a smaller chain ring, but I need to find an acceptable one that uses a speed chain instead of the skip-tooth type.

Progress so far. I do intend to buff the orange paint off of the forks
