Agree 1000%. Beautiful flowing lines!!

Chapter 13 - The Scooter Got the scooter done today! My daughter can enjoy this one when she gets a little older.

Hey man, thanks for the compliment! I'll add some pics of the scooter when it's done.

There was this ad on Kijiji. The guard may still be available. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-bike-frames-parts/london/vintage-ccm-parts/1269895581?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Failing that, I plan to make reproductions at some point. I'll let you know if and when I'm successful.

The pics can be deceiving. Front and rear are both 20 x 1-3/8" like a fastback.

I might have to change my final pic decision then eh??

Thanks for all the comments guys!! One of my favourite parts of a build, is the compliments from fellow bike enthusiasts!!

Chapter 12 - Photo Shoot Here are some of my favourite shots of the bike! Enjoy!

This was a fun build for me. I love that this bike is relatively unknown on the internet and I'm glad that I was able to acquire some of its actual history to share. I added a few custom touches and I'm really happy with the end result. You can see how it all came together here...

Chapter 11 - Finished Father Well. in the last week, I've been able to piece everything together and I'm here to share it with you now on my first Father's Day. Wow, I didn't realize how seriously everyone is about this day. I got more attention than I do on my birthday. Got to spend some good...

Chapter 10 - Tubeless in Trenton With the bathroom complete and the shop in respectable order, I finally got a chance to put some pieces together. I usually start with the headset or the bottom bracket. It makes sense to put those chrome cups in first. I usually have to get in there with my...

Chapter 9 - Renovatin' and Restoratin' For those of you that don't know me personally, I've been on parental leave since September after the birth of our first daughter. When I show up at the school where I teach wood shop, everyone asks me how my holiday is going? Um.... holiday?? I've...

I'm glad to have people like you following along. It makes it worth telling the story. Stay tuned...

It was my first time coming to a show across the border. I was overwhelmed by all the great stuff. I see all these names online, but there aren't any faces that go with them for me to recognize anyone. Did you have a table set up? I probably bought something from you if you did. Lol. Anyway...

Chapter 8 - Shakin' off the Rust We've all read our share of rust removal techniques and tips. Some of us have even tried them all. Your kit might include some sort of steel or brass wool, tin foil and some coca-cola. I've always been a fine steel wool kinda guy with a little bit of lubricant...

Chapter 7 - The Other Decals So, if you've been reading along, you know that this whole project started because of the chain guard decal. I simply wanted a picture of the chain guard to help reproduce a decal for a friends bike. I ended up just buying the bike. I'll talk about the original...

Chapter 6 - Paint This is only my third Rat Rod Build Off Rodeo. My first first kick at the can was the MBBO#5. Unfortunately I didn't get to the finish line because of paint. In the interest of time and quality, I get all my frames powder coated. It makes total sense. I found a guy who does a...

I could draw something up. I'm always reproducing decals for bikes. Might be fun to design some new ones. I just have to find some time.....

Chapter 5 - The Pamphlet The thing I love about muscle bikes is the fact that there are so many makes and models, particularly in the US. I still stumble upon rare and unique models that I didn't even know existed. In Canada, our main collectible brand is CCM (canada cycle and motor). The...
