Dont really know. The rear was on there when I got it, but the coaster is Komet Super. Front wheel came off a Huffman garden bike I am parting out but I'm not sure it was original to that bike. I just threw is on there because it was handy and it has a very similar drop center to the rear...

Any takers at $265 shipped?

Price is $225 obo + actual shipping.

This klunker is ready to ride or a good start to your project. The tank is real and is in nice shape. I believe that it is original to the frame along with the guard, bars/stem, truss rods and crank. It was painted poorly before I got it, the stickers on the tank and guard are my fault...

It was hard getting my wife to let go of the bike and run out of the pic before it fell into the water. Took several attempts to get it with lots of blow-drying in-between shots. In all seriousness about 15 minutes after this pic was taken a bald eagle flew right over the bike at about...

Thank you all for the votes! I almost went with the last pic in my Finished thread because it was taken closer up and showed more detail but in the end I decided to just go with my favorite pic. Thanks TRM! The poster will be hung in a place of honor where I can make up stories about it...

I got mine today as well. Very cool. Someday when I dig out my Wierd-Oh kits I will put them on display proudly with the ad. Until then probably just keep it under protective glass in the secret vault.

Generally speaking painted rims were on the lower model bikes with chrome reserved for the top of the line. Most catalogs and adds feature the highest end bike in the line they were offering, but most people bought a lesser model.

Start making me offers! I have a bike I need cash for.

Not that my opinion matters much but I think unlimited votes skews the totals quite a bit. While it certainly helps EVERYONE get more votes, I believe it will help some more than others. For instance, lets say you have 3 or 4 bikes that are all "similar" like mine and and Swamp-Dog and One...

A few more pictures cause... why not? For those who might be curious about the front flap, I let room to ride over a valve cap but when the springer springs, its a scraper and I like it that way! Also the other pics didnt really show the super cool scale hanging behind the seat.

The bike really turned out great! I love the wheel and tire choices and really dig its compact stance. Its a Rod for sure, both Rat and Hot! Well Done!

Great builds by everyone this year. In an effort to narrow it down and maybe break some ties, I picked one from several different mini categories. Best Salt Flats inspired, curved seat Elgin, board tracker, most functional, etc. Even doing that I kept coming up with more and more excuses to...

Thanks for the compliments guys. So far everyone who has seen it in person either asks "what year is it?' or "where did you find it?" or both. As far as I am concerned I win every time they ask. If I can fool someone into thinking this bike came this way or that someone built it 60 years...

Very slick bike! Finding those big sprockets is easy, making them work with the frame and finding a chain guard that looks right is the hard part. Yours look awesome! Really like the color scheme plus I am a huge fan of Hank B's.

Awesome bike Carl! Your bikes always have a certain Guitar Carl style, but this one seems to be the essence of Guitar Carl! I can honestly say that if I had only seen your build for the first time today, and nobody told me who's it was... I would insist that this is a Guitar Carl build, and...

Even knowing what I know(and don't know) about bicycles, I would have a VERY hard time believing that this bike is not factory if I were to run across it in person. The frame design is as functional as it is original and as if that weren't enough, its REALLY good looking too. Mind blown!

If somebody doesn't love this bike, they are on the wrong site. This thing is great. So many cool parts coming together on one bike. I want it!

This bike is dark and brooding, and I mean that as a big compliment. I have seen this frame worked and re-worked so many times that in the past that I thought I had see every possible set up. Thanks to your build I am eating my words, and a bit of crow. Love the murdered out color scheme...

If there was an award for the Most Tasteful Build, you would have it wrapped up for sure. This thing reeks of the kind of refinement usually found on vintage European road bikes, and it smells great! Nicely done.
