    YES! That one is pretty chewed up. I do have a single taillight assembly and lens from a '63 Vette but it would need some kind of housing around it.

    Thanks! It's not all bad news today either. I just finished the wrenching on Singularity. I may detail a bit more but the heat is off. I'd really love to find a last minute Monark rear fender reflector body. (I wish for the fender headlight too!) The holes are there for them but they were long...

    I have the worst luck the last couple days... First my cell phone faded away... won't recharge anymore. Then my red truck just refused to do anything, so I pulled the battery and put it in my black truck... Now it's running rough like a rod knock but not quite,,, Looks like I'm lookin' for...

    Three speed hub with a couple extra teeth on the cog.. no problem it's a nice cruiser and has a flipped rocker rat trap fork now. Same sprocket on my Harlequin cruiser too. It's a nice combo that exerciser sprocket with a three speed hub and if it's too tough get a little bigger cog for the hub...

    TRADITIONAL Time Traveler

    Pretty sure it's an early Giant built, Traveler. Cleaned it up for the big move out of my garage and into my son's, seeing as it's his bike. (and dare I say I have too many bikes?) It's a clean machine just a little banged up from it's travels thru time...

    Really just a freshen up and tune for my youngest boys bike. Done and soon to travel to his house. Note the old boot I carved out of steel with a hand grinder and a cutoff wheel. Drill and tapped a set screw on the back of the boot too.

    Haha! I like about 30" from crank center to seat top, so all of my builds are around that. The fork is a mixed up piece that I started out with a Monark reproduction from eBay. Got it cheap because the main fork was bent a bit. I then put the rockers and front springer fork onto what folks call...

    Thanks. I've always liked this frame, it's vaguely Zeppelin "ish" but bigger. I think getting the seat stays and the down tube parallel made all the difference. I looked over and measured a few donors before cutting up the Huffy. I've kept my eyes open for a decent flask to go between the seat...

    Thanks! It's a 40's Rollfast from the original seatpost forward and a modern Huffy MTB rear section. I fabbed the connecting section between the two. I especially like the tapered part. It's a miracle the old Monark fender fit in the rear and the repo fork worked even tho I replaced the actual...

    Added a couple more details, found a saddle and a patch of sunshine.

    No sunshine but it rolls even tho I'm missing some shifter bits Little clock is handy wrenching in the garage. Oh! Gotta go! Possible the seat choice bare frame sprayed with FlexSeal

    Oh you know the problems with waiting till the last minute... Missing bits here and there, what saddle since nothing I found was what I wanted... Where in this town is a stupid water feature...

    I've got a handful of nice wood propellers if you ever wanna go there on this or something else... 😁

    Just shy of speedboat glitter. But wait and we'll see if I can get a nice sunshine shot....

    It's blue . There's a hint of a shimmer in the spectrum of visible light. I didn't expect it really to show at all but there it was floating in the hole burned thru the grid. The whole thing should've just shut down or cascaded into a feedback loop so nasty that the gravity shed would've...

    The amp's been done and there's way better battery amplifiers available that the old micro Fender I used. A lot of the reason I tore the old build down was that I wasn't using the bike at all. It did win a "Best Rat" trophy at a Classic Cruisers in Chicago and a pretty good blues player ripped...

    ** The next build off 2024 **

    Yeah, with the right handle bars and tires, it'll fit in the Muscle Bike category 2 of 3 - Apes and a rear tire bigger than the front. In fact make it into an INGO style bike for the extra challenge of lacing an eccentric wheel. ^^^ yes this is on my bucket list. The only problem I see is if...
