Nice simple job!!

Is that a threaded to threadless stem adapter ? Please post a larger pic as I hadn't saw one installed before.

hahaha, when I realized it wouldn't work for my frame, I took a large sparkplug socket and welded it to the old neck and it slipped right over it. It gave a little height also.... my bars are too big for the neck, so I'm looking for new ones.

I'm going to pinstripe it lime and white next!!!

a Murray Cranbrook! I'm working on my second one (look up the Blue Bomber thread in the "other bikes" forum or an old Beer bike thread)

Good lookin bike. They ride nice and smooth, and look really great for a not-too-old bike. I picked my first one up at a yard sale for $4.

I think the lime and white is great. Maybe some orange accents?
