Skip Toof

I just got this bike today (actually the wife got it for me wile I was at work ). Bought from a friend and fellow Coaster.
I've already got too much going on bike wise and busy at work but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring just in case I happen to do something with it that falls within the build off time frame. Hopefully a better name and some ideas will come to me.
Looks like everyone is off to a great start.

 

[Hooch]

wow thats a great bike to build!

 

[KOTA]

Randy, the name is "purfeck"!...Made me Laugh!

 

[Skipton]

Oh That's nice. :mrgreen:

 

[Ratfink1962]

Just needs tires and one grip and your done!

Looks like an awesome starting point, I like the name too... but if your having teef problems, you can always go next door to Doc Palmer! lol

I wouldnt mind getting in on the build off, but I got a stinky ol girls bike to build for now! oh well, maybe ill get in later since this thing isnt over till August and I got five weeks off in June to go play.

Let me know if you need anything!

Nice bike Randy, I'd like to see do that one before your midwest bike fest. I've got a couple I want to do before that time comes too.

 

[Singlespeed92]

That thing's got beautiful lines! Should be a killer project :mrgreen:

 

[N8NBOX]

I say just take that chunk of grip thats left off, throw some tires on it, lube it up, and ride it as is

Locojoe...if anyone can pull off a build in a limited amount of time,I'd put my money on a member of the Coasters!Ratfink1962 (Johnson) is right!!!(Blazing Saddles reference...lol).C'mon Randy...you can do it!!!
Can't wait to see what you do to this beast, be it for this build or at your club's summer bike event (had a GREAT time last year!!!).Anywho...git 'er dun,son!!! Pappy 8)

[aka_locojoe]

anything new with the bike?

Was just thinking I need to post an update.
Here's how it looks now...

No sadly I haven't had time to do anything. Maybe this weekend if I don't have to work. First I have to get the tandems ready to roll for next weeks Tandem Night though.

 

[BankerRAt]

I definately like what you have done so far :lol:

 

[Heavy Pedal]

This should be great! Starting with something in that condition, can't wait to see you bring it back to life!

 

[Bicyclerick]

Thats a very cool sprocket, and a skip tooth at that.I can't wait to see what you do with this.

 

[aka_locojoe]

I've come to the conclusion this is a 30s Iver Johnson.
I finally got a little time to work on it. Stripped it down and cleaned it up some. I will be leaving the paint as is.

 

[ExtraBlaze]

I will be leaving the paint as is.

Thank goodness Very cool. :mrgreen:
