    Thanks! I had it sitting in my yard for about a year. It’s technically a mid 50’s Dayton Huffman. The bike rides perfectly; the seat is a little low. I’m going to try to raise up so it doesn’t smoke your quads in a mile!

    Great build selection! Your attention to details and the way you capture or create patina blows me away every build.

    SWB0 UNO under the SNO

    Great build. Love the straight bars on the old road bikes & 10 speeds. Will be a great trainer to log some miles!

    Agreed; the rear derailleur is a super nice touch on a classic frame. Great build. -ride up and down the canals looking for bass! (And maybe a few gators!)

    WOW! Super clean build! Meticulous detail! I would have never thought to work those colors together, but everything works together wonderfully!

    I love your build,,,.. but this frame in this stage, (stripped and on the stand) with a clear coat on it, would check a lot of boxes for me! :21:

    Sometimes I hold those brooks saddles in my hand and I think they are so big, they’ll ‘take over the bike’ Not in this case. -saddle looks awesome and you get the comfort !! Super cool build

    Meh…. She’s done. Test ride around the block was fine. Seat is WAY too low for long rides, so, I’ll have to lift that up…. But other than that…. Thing pedaled and rolled smooth as silk! https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/fya-functional-yard-art.119393/page-3#post-1275018

    I slapped the rest of the thing together: I did my best to true the wheels…. They’re close, but far from perfect. The kickstand is WAY short…. Gonna have to find a block or something…. I don’t care to scramble for a rusty kickstand. Maybe test ride next weekend.

    So…. Dag-gone! You’d think bolting some old rusty parts together would be a snap! NOT!!!! Wow…. Super tough to get the rear wheel, chain and chain ring straight! -as I’m super happy to keep the original chainring, that thing was CROOKED…. Lot of dinging and clanging trying to get that thing...
