    Thanks! I sure do love the curves of this frame. All I know is post war. Maybe mid to late 1940’s ? Can’t wait to get some miles on these tires. Yeah somehow always end up on the short end here. But looking forward to getting it done. Thanks!!

    Okay less the 3 weeks to go…. LetsDoThis!! Calling in a frame swap Original frame choice headtube to tight for the 1” to 1/1/8” conversion with the time I have left.. Going with this Hawthorne frame threadless fork fits perfectly. Whole lot more come quickly

    Yep 26x3 Thanks guys I do really like the way they fill out the frame and make the thick triple tree fork fit proportionally. I got a good deal on these two tires and 2 tubes for less then hundred bucks.. I did screw up and had them sent to my old Chicago apartment. Lucky for me my youngest...

    Thanks for checking on me @kingfish254 I did get some nice 26x3 tires, that make the Fat Frank’s look small. Had to do the crimp chainstay trick. But tires fit nice now. I do like how tall and fat these tires are…. Lots more to come soon. Thanks for looking

    Okay back to the build…Thinking of using these wheels I built up a couple years ago. For a muscle bike build, drum brakes 12g spokes real strong and beefy looking.. I’ve got a different set of tires on the way. Thanks for all the support.

    Bike looks fantastic with the wheel tire combo. (With anyone of the forks) and those tires look so Hot Rod Zig Zag like 👊🏼
