i finished the bike last weekend but weather sucked, and did not get home from work one day this week while there was still light.
today there was a bit of a break from the rain, so i had to take photos. not ideal, but at least i dont need the flash.

Frame / Fork: 1961 Sears/JC Higgins Flightliner, flipped rat-trap fork. original tank and rack with original lenses, original chainguard.
Wheels: chrome drop center rims, Bendix Automatic 2 speed triple red band kickback in rear. Kenda Flame 26 x 2.125 tires.
Handlebars: 16" Ape Hangers - Black Motocross grips
Saddle: Custom leather upholstery on Troxel springer saddle.
Stainless steel chain
Electra Block pedals
original wald crank and murray front cog.

hey, its nothing super duper. i really just wanted to get one good flightliner together that i was happy with to ride.
i am 100% content with how it turned out.
