The Classic lines, the whitewalls,the Army paint and the leather accessories... Did you really build this or did you actually build a time machine instead? Because either one would be an awesome accomplishment! :41::41::41:

Now THAT I have never seen before-love it!

:rockout::rockout::rockout:

That build- -looks like a young man bought that bike in perfect condition, rode it for ten years, left it in a barn for twenty, found it, polished up the original patina, rediscovered the joys of riding on it again, decided to make it a rolling love story to the Bicycle Experience-and...

Such Classic lines-and the Springer fork is just the cherry on the sundae!

Well, I thought that Build Off Ten was going to have to do without me.:cry: That's okay, there's always another Build Off- But then FATE intervened, in the person of a local LBS owner who dumped half a truckload of dumpstered scrap in my yard and dared me to Do Something with it-with two days...

OH LORD THE SUN IS SETTING! Soon the vampires will...uh, I mean i'll lose my lighting, Wow, must have gotten dehydrated there, hold on....(sluuuurp!) Okay, i'll eat later-let's give the White Rabbit some Glamor shots for the Finished folder: And then I grabbed a much needed sandwich...

All right then, rehydrated and ready to install the springer fork-I have no idea why they would dumpster this part... Oh. Oh yes I do-somehow, there isn't enough pipe on the forks for the rest of it to fit. Once the bearings are in place and the fork is in the tube, the retaining nut needs an...

Well, another build-off come and gone, and i'm too broke and too busy supporting myself as an amateur Luthier on Ebay and Etsy to participate. :( No matter, I have my 1965 Schwinn Aristocrat to comfort me on late evening rides, and starting in August I will have work driving cars for a...

I LOVE IT! Ummmm...what is it? o_O

Bravo! Bravissimo! Magnificent! That build looks so scrumptious I gained five pounds just looking at the picture... I other words, I love it.:)

If that's Oak, it will hold. I've seen entire bikes built of the stuff... Which isn't to say that some boiled Linseed Oil, Gunstock Finish or Lacquer wouldn't help protect it, as would Spar Varnish...

AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!! What in the name of the Wright Brothers did they do to that poor frame? It looks like a bus ran over the original and somebody jury-rugged a new rear assembly without even bothering to straighten the front forks or the main beam...

My Grandad (who spent his entire life farming) used to soak all his rusty chains-both industrial and bicycle- in WD-40. This left the surface clean and the chain flexible but tended to evaporate the internal lubricants, so his next step involved a three-day soak in a 50/50 mix of kerosene and...

I'm really glad you didn't give up on that frame-looks comfy with that reclined pedal-forward stance...

That headlight is PERFECT!! One question though-given the current stance of your Gasser (which I love, mind you) are you worried about wheelies? Because if so, I don't think a set of wheelie parts would hurt your current look in the least...

Sigh. Now you are just flaunting her, Sirrah! (leaves for cold shower to cool his temper) :banghead: Seriously though-awesome bike. Where did you acquire/fabricate those handlebars?

Oh my dear sweet LORD I am so jealous of your skill-and tools... (Scarlett O'Hara voice) Ah do Swear, as Gahd is mah witness...One day Ah will have a fully Stahked Machine Shop !!!! (End voice) :cry:

(Slow dissolve into Awesome Thumb Training Montage involving massive Nintendo Gaming and intense viewing of the Three Stooges engaging in Finger Fu and eye-pokery... Montage ends with Our Protagonist ramming both thumbs through a watermelon and lifting melon overhead as 'Anvil of Crom' plays...
