That’s ok! I really appreciate it! I was going to ride this thing hard and fast as-is. -besides tires. I’ll still probably keep the thing, but I’ll just use it for bombing around the neighborhood or casual lake rides with the wife! I was surprised at how Light it is and that messenger seat...

Thanks so much for the heads up on this thing!!!!! I’ll put some mods on it before I flog it!

Hit it with naval jelly and high power pressure wash. Tweaked the seat…. Rides ok. Rear brake is fussy, but other than that, rides fine. Tires look nice but are pretty dry rotted. Last pic (in my outdoor and Rough right now shop) is soaked in wd40

Pre scrub

Here we go: got this thing for a song. I was originally thinking I’d bomb around on it, but it feels super light and fast. Gonna scrub this up, put on some fresh rubber, tune it and rip! As I’m getting older, I may swap out the bars for something more upright and comfortable. Here’s the...

Thanks @Wildcat ! So….. I dig what you’re saying, but I just don’t have the time for that! I’ll hit it with some naval jelly, a super scrub and put new tires on it, but this thing actually feels super light and fast, so, I just want to get it comfortable and ready to rip around the lake...

I actually got this bike late last fall: a friend from Syracuse Classic Bikes scored this from someone’s trash and knew I did skinny bikes…. He gave to me. -he actually drove it to my house and I couldn’t just take it so I threw him a $10 spot and said have a drink on me! This thing is all...

Thanks OJ. Got a lot of ideas. Regular Klunker w/ single speed. ‘Skinny Klunk’’ w/ gears…. Need to figure something on brakes keeping the original fork. Not sure what to do in the back. It’ll be an adventure.

Epic cool bike! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

So….. got a few cool project ideas. I think I’m going with the straight bar and trying my hand at a klunker. Also will probably break my rat rod patina tradition and strip this guy down and put on some fresh paint. I don’t have a red-white and blue bike for patriotic events, so, stars n...

Thanks! I had it sitting in my yard for about a year. It’s technically a mid 50’s Dayton Huffman. The bike rides perfectly; the seat is a little low. I’m going to try to raise up so it doesn’t smoke your quads in a mile!

Baby blue and straight bars. My weak spots! Love the build!

The rear suspension on that thing….. still can’t get over it! Super cool bike

Cool build ! Ride it! :cool:

Great build selection! Your attention to details and the way you capture or create patina blows me away every build.

Beautiful clean build! 28 pounds…. Sweet.. grip n rip!

Great build. Love the straight bars on the old road bikes & 10 speeds. Will be a great trainer to log some miles!

Love the stance of this guy! Looks mean! Took some guts (and skill) cutting’ that neck….. turned out AWESOME

Agreed; the rear derailleur is a super nice touch on a classic frame. Great build. -ride up and down the canals looking for bass! (And maybe a few gators!)

WOW! Super clean build! Meticulous detail! I would have never thought to work those colors together, but everything works together wonderfully!
