Bump can someone update this thread to include out new ones? Maybe update with pictures of the early builds?

My guess is either something from one of the hundreds or alien related tourist stops in Roswell, New Mexico or something related to the flying saucer gas stations from back in the day.

That's the plan. I have been crossing things off my bicycle bucket list left and right. I finally got a Mini Twinn, I got my first bike from the 30's, first bike from the 20's, and I really want to cross off my first Rat Rod Bikes Build Off Winner. I'm gathering parts and pulling out all the...

That Columbia looks really close.

So I was talking to a bike friend and telling him about my new find and he says speaking of new finds I found something for you... Long story short he knows I have the Mini Twinn and he found me a seat!!! So I'm buying that too.

????

Thanks. I'm stoked to add it to my collection.

So I just won this unknown frame and fork on eBay and I'm not sure what I bought but I'm thinking it's mid teens to mid 20's Iver Johnson or Crown arch-bar? I have seen a few similar frames but none that are a spot on match. This is the closest looking bike I have come up with.

I won!!!! I paid a bit more than I really wanted to but I am really excited to add this beautiful bike to my collection. So what did I buy? @Wildcat You really want to see? I'm not exactly sure what it is but I'm thinking late teens to mid 1920's Iver Johnson or Crown arch-bar / Truss...

Nice score. Those are great bikes.

So the Phantom deal might still be going on this weekend or next week sometime but I found something else that I may be buying in the mean time that blew my mind. I don't want to say too much and tip my hand just yet but I'll make an announcement on that if I end up getting it. I'll know for...

Postponed again... Gonna try for next week sometime. Hopefully all goes well but I'm not holding my breath. Normally in my experience this is when the deal goes off the rails. Oh well we'll see what happens.

So got postponed till Thursday. I did get the unit cleaned out and halfway presentable and got a few things moved around to make getting the Mini Twinn out easier. I'm gonna miss it but I am stoked to finally cross a Phantom off my bucket list. I feel like both the Phantom and Mini Twinn are...

Finally got my seat in after USPS sent it to Indy, then Toronto, then Detroit, back to Toronto, back to Indy then here. Anyway I like the seat and it works great.

Nice finds I've seen Ashtabula forks like that but not in chrome.

Would that make the silver one a B6 model? I searched around a bit and this blue 1941 B6 is the only one I could find with this style dropout and the right features.

Ivr gone as far as to find whole bikes I forgot I owned till I clean out the storage and find it again.

I like the fenderless look of that. And yeah that fender is not gonna buff out. I do have a few pair that I need to use though...

I'll forever remember that I had a Mini Twinn but to me it's just another crossed off the bucket list like my Hutch Judge, Stingrays, recumbent trikes, fat bikes, first bike from the 40's, first bike from the 30's, and other milestones I have conquered in my years of collecting. I will top it...

Well the deal is on and I should be getting the pair plus a bonus Hawthorne he's throwing in on the deal. He said he does have the tank for one of them and chain guard and fenders too. Hopefully meeting up Tuesday. Can't wait to clean the respray off of it and see how the original paint is...
