Worksman frame, Girvin fork, three-speed Nexus wheel set, three-piece crank set, vintage Troxel saddle,and a few other touches.

If I lived in the OC, I'd be knockin' on your door.

It's a '58: quad headlights and round taillight lenses are the "tells."

I picked this up just two days ago. It's quite complete. I'll stash it away for a future buildoff.

too. darn. perfect.

Well, here she is, in all her muscle-bound glory, 2 OUTTA 3: a rusty, crusty old Worksman frame, 24" front/26" rear wheels, high-rise motorcycle bars, long motorcycle seat, front drum brake, three-speed Nexus hub and truss rods; perfect for someone about 5 feet tall.

I love this bike: It has it all; super ratty frame, vintage truss rods, super cool GT piston-style neck, nice shiny touches, three speeds, and a motorcycle saddle and bars. Two outta three ain't bad. Side note: It sure has a minibike vibe to it. I do believe I'll add a motor to it. Then I'll...

I did make some changes. I got rid of the front and rear lights, which, while '60s and early '70s period correct, just cluttered things up to me. And, with all due respect to Meatloaf, I went from 2 outta three to 3 outta three, but I aint changin' the name. There's a reason for not changin'...

Beautiful bike, and it reeks of authenticity.

Nicely done!

Here's my sturdy, double top bar, lugged Monty Amsterdam, stripped down, truss-rodded and fatter-tired: ready for the hills with a Nexus three-speed hub And here's a link to the build: https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/loose-on-tucson.116823/

Well, here it is, an old Mead Ranger from the '20s or '30s, revived, reimagined and reconfigured with modern updates while still keeping a vintage look:

It's a beauty. I love that it has special meaning to you.

That's a beauty. Merry Christmas to you!

Wow. The year is coming to a quick close, so I thought I'd better shoot some final photos. I thought my new storage facility provided a unique perspective, so here's what I came up with: There you have it; an ancient moto-style Mead Ranger done in a fixie/single speed modern style, complete...
