yep, the silver too. But at this rate, what I have on hand will last quite a while.
Sales in general are quite low. I caught the wave in 2010. It was worth it. But I think I see the end of Thompson Grips coming. I hope I can find someone to buy the mold for the ball ends at some point.

That’s awesome. I appreciate knowing that! I put a lot in to that build.
These numbers aren't inspiring. No one wants to play with me in the MBBO. 
Are you all 6 of the votes?These numbers aren't inspiring. No one wants to play with me in the MBBO.
I think this old Loop tail is going to be my step thru entry. I think it’s a Colson, not sure. There’s at least 2 layers of thick house paint on it so I’m going to have to strip it down.
I think that serial# is a double stamped 3 then G 3000
If anyone has a tank for this they want to sell hit me up.

You’re just going to have to go the easy route and build a tank.I think this old Loop tail is going to be my step thru entry. I think it’s a Colson, not sure. There’s at least 2 layers of thick house paint on it so I’m going to have to strip it down.

I got lucky with my step thru find. My first bike to come with a tank. That is one sexy frame! 
Yeah, that thing is really cool.
I may try to build a tank for mine if I get some time. I have some ideas, we'll see what pans out.
I'll give it another try.These numbers aren't inspiring. No one wants to play with me in the MBBO.

I'm in, but won't exactly be playing with you. I'll be goofing around in the parking lot next to the arena where you play. Maybe my project will inspire @Mattis_son to get started on a build. He's outgrown his Electra, thinks he can just have my 24" BMX for his ownThese numbers aren't inspiring. No one wants to play with me in the MBBO.
The audacity!!
Searching for parts. The FUN starts tomorrow......
Or maybe tonight

The rules say you can't start the build until September. Bike demolition is another thing entirelyOr maybe tonight
September does start at midnight. I just checked and that's in just under half an hour in Australia! Though I do think the official time is Central time US?
I am planning to do a step thru, but things are really busy here. I have 5 bikes in the garage to repair that belong to friends and neighbors. Word is out that JJ fixes bikes and it’s hard to keep up.
I also accepted a separation package from my employer. It was voluntary. After 18 years with a very large company, I was offered over a year’s pay to take a hike. I accepted and my last day is September 13!!!!
Not retiring though. I am already in negotiations with a new employer and hope to start sept 14th.
But I cannot resist, and will somehow find time. Might just be a late start for me.
I have at least 3 step thrus to choose from.
