Thanks Glen, I was quick on the trigger when I saw it too! I hopped a commuter train to bring her home. The builder was kind enough to meet me at the station.

No Sir, this was a one off. The man built it for himself just for something to do. He's not even a bike guy, but did his own take on elements he liked of the production bikes. He told me that some of the bends were made over his race car tires if I remember correctly. I've actually tried...

I also just found the 2.125 tires are a literal no go in these narrow forks. I'll give the local bike Co-op a try for another fork. The last time I dropped by some insulant man bunned newby volunteer instantly raised my hackles. Maybe next time I'll hit up a familiar old timer to let me access...

Thank you, I agree Kingfish, the guy did a real nice job. There's no gap along the edges either and it's just tacked in '13' points on each side. :39: When I first layed eyes on this frame on Kijiji it had a single linear crease through the middle of each panel. I was sold on it with the...

Friends don't let friends buy Huffy Cranbrooks.;) IMHO. By all means a Cranbrook can be the apple of your eye and will provide a fine fun base for your creative vision and intended use, but... If you heed Wildcat's advice and you may even be a happier camper Jim. There are great deals to...

Here are the first mock up pics showing the open tubes on rear stays, the curb found fork with Evans truss rods, untested Bendix 2 speed hub and a seat option A. I found the chunkier front tire in my stash, but it doesn't leave much room for my fender ideas. Maybe I'll try and make some...

I only wish I had such skills Brian. The frame was built by a talented local race car builder that said he just likes to make stuff 'because he can'. This was his first bicycle frame. Not too shabby at all I'd say. The welds are super clean and the tank plates are nicely done. There are some...

Dang it Falstaff, it's 3 am here and you have me up taking pictures and keying on my phone. ;) It'll be a bit of this and a bit of that... From here I'll see what's in the stars as it progresses. I'm using mostly parts and supplies I have on hand. I've had the frame for about a year and...

Smell the sea and feel the sky... Let your soul and spirit fly... ~ Into The Mystic ~ I wanna rock your Gypsy soul, Just like back in the days of old, Then we will magnificently float... ~Into The Mystic~

I've been putting miles on my Colson for a couple seasons now. Last summer I had Beehive in front(sold it) and full Gothic fenders filled with Hanks then Lightning Darts. Last week I mounted some Beach Bums on my old faithful 7 speed wheel set and now curb hopping is EZPZ and the trails are a...

I have a pair in mint shape and would ship from Canada if interested. PM and we can work out price and payment info.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome Andy from Sask. from the bleachers in Toronto.

I know you were kidding King and recall your creative usage of many materials over the years. I can think of a few choices of old school light options to retro fit, but Im rollin with truss rods and fender light on my twin.

Thanks Kingfish, thats what I'm talking about. Though a pair of reproTorpedoes just might do in a pinch too. Or....

With Build Off 13 underway I'd like to offer this mismatched twin light shroud. Maybe one of the twinn builders could make use of these rare pieces for $150 to your door from mine in Toronto doncha know. There is some damage on one piece as shown, no light switch hole. The shroud fits...

I have a (no light) rack if you haven't found one. It would ship from Toronto.

This is the way I think Kent may have handled the customers' concerns.... Thank you Gentlemen Proud to be of Service.:thumbsup: Kent then alerts the team, "Stand by for Savannah boys, Over.":rockout:

Thanks Chewey, It may be a long shot (for sure more work) fitting the tank down there and I know you have a few things on your punch list to whittle down for your Febrauary ride, but it may be fun playin' around at some point down the road. This input was offered by an envious bolt on builder...

Hey Chewy, I couldn't pull my eyes away from your bike last night and thought of one more place to try the tank. I couldn't explain at the time and let it go. Then tonight I saw this pic in a different thread and a familiar perspective.... Have you considered using the lady tank as a pod or...
