Here it is: '85 Murray frame, sanded, gun blued and cleared. Fork, rack, chainguard, and stem from a '63 Coast King Sportster. Lights work, each one runs on 4 AA's, pretty bright, the headlight batteries are in an old tobacco tin. The Stewert Werner speedo is one of my favorites, when I found it, it had 4200 miles on it and it's in great shape. It's got antique green dice for valve caps. The gun bluing has a nice patina look to it, I wasn't worried about making it perfect so it matches the patina of the rest of the bike .
Just finished it today and took it for a little four or five mile ride and love it! It might be old but it rides like a new bike!
Not the best picture to show it, but I used some copper tubing and made inserts to get the speedo bracket to fit the Schwinn bars. By the way, copper plumbing is fun to use. I used it here, for the tail light bracket, the strap that holds the coaster brake arm and for some of the smaller bolts.
Leinie's Limited bottle cap magnet - I wish they'd bring it back more often!
