It's a 53 CWC, could be a Roadmaster or Western Flyer, I just had the bare frame, no original paint or anything.

It has a Murray beehive springer and a SA 3 speed w coaster.
 
Spaceliner. Started out with chrome frame. Chrome was replaced with rust. Rust was replaced with Krylon Metallic Satin Nickel from rattle can. I was going for the look of a 1950's fighter jet, like an F-80 Shooting Star. Like model planes from my boyhood.

The Freak, badged Edge Cycles and built custom at Titus in 2001 before there was such a thing as a Racer-X 100. Retired in 2011 before the creaking gave way to breaking. Ten Years Gone, but not forgotten.

In its heyday, with me wearing the infamous Dale Earnhardt gloves. Yes, they made me faster.

It was a ways out of town, but well worth the effort. Still stripping the clearcoat, but almost done and waiting on more fine bronze wool. Counted up, I think there may be four or five very small mars in the chrome and that includes the chrome Tange fork. All parts have been collected and the wheels are laced up.
