So I cleaned out my storage and ended up letting some bikes go to scrap. Mostly parted out girl's frames but I robbed all I could from them. So here's my new and revised list of plans. 1. 1950 Western Flyer Super Before After 2. 1968 Mini Twinn Before After 3. 1937 Huffman Mainliner - Add a...

Well I got the Bandit pretty well wrapped up found a nice BMX stem to go with my handlebars the bar pad was a little wider but I was able to cut down the foam and kind of roll the edges. Found a layback seatpost and seat and got the Nexus 4 speed tuned in also found my half inch pedals from my...

Got the new gumwall tires installed and man they look good. Also mocked up the chain guard, popped the crank bearing cup out of the frame and put the chain guard bracket in then pounded the cup back in. Then with everything nice and aligned I took the chain guard off the bracket sanded it down...

Mail call! License plate Yes sir Georgia plates BAN ONE B-A-N da da da dash O-N- E. Also got my tires. I think the black and gum colors will play well off the black and gold.

Went over and installed the decal on the seat tube and I think I may have figured out a chain guard the Nexus 4 Cruiser that donated the wheelset is a dead on match to the tabs this bike has. Lined up perfectly.

Had a minor hickup with the stem... it doesn't fit the fork. For now I just threw these bars back on so I can move it around also threw the wheels on there to get an idea of how it looks together and I like it. Can't wait to get my gumwall tires and the rest of my decals. Have new spoke heads...

I got it from Frank in Marion. I've actually got quite a few from him in 3 trips. Last trip I got 11 bikes in a single haul. Lots of girl's frames, lots of parts, and a few nice bikes. Great guy to deal with. This is what became of the old red CWC men's frame with the rotted out back end that...

Thanks got that in Marion, frame was free and he let me have the chain guard, tank, and fenders for $30. I couldn't say no. thinking about painting it to match my Western Flyer

Got the Bandit masked up and sprayed the black. Had kinda a weird reaction on the paint and had some bubbling in a few places over the gold but after the second coat it disappeared. I also had some of the gold paint lift when I peeled the decal masks around the edges but I think that's due to me...

Planning? This is winging it and getting lucky. Thanks though. I have been wanting to build a clean Klunker for a while now just didn't know what colors to do or how to really make it cool. Something that looks good and performs better. I got a bargain on this Nexus 4 speed bike and already had...

Slinging some paint. Did some red oxide primer that I had laying around which worked great. This gold paint tends to be thin and prone to runs so this primer works well as a base for the gold because it creates a porous surface so the paint will lay and layer nicely. Once this cures I can apply...

Mail call! I can now reveal my "Something Special" I spent $50 on this pad set but I could not find a more perfect set. I am very happy. Then I got my other decals in after USPS decided to send them for a tour of the USA. From New York to Indianapolis then to California and back to Indiana. 

Getting it scuffed up and ready for some paint. Now you see it... Now you don't.

That one won't work. Nothing to attach the sissy bar to. It needs a free floating seat.

Trying to find one without spending several hundred dollars. Just put that one on as a temporary because it's the only white seat I've got handy. I may cut down a full size nanner seat later and build a more correct seat someday.

Kinda thinking along these lines but instead of black and white it would be black and gold... Original style modern colors. Then probably add some anodized gold parts to the mix and some tasteful decals. Got something special coming for it I'll reveal soon. Image I found on Google not mine.

It certainly was. It had pretty much wrong everything. Only original parts were the frame, fork, crank arms, and bearings. I was still stoked to own a Mini Twinn even if it was a mess. It has lived a really interesting life. Someone really loved it at one time. They added cable stays and did a...

Got the bike broken down for sanding and painting. Here you can better see the scrapes and scuffs. It was born to be a Klunker. I also found these bars and stem that I kinda dig.

Just not digging the color and it is scraped up in a few places.
