Oddjob I have some skip tooth parts, thank you for the offer Matti you are so right about the shipping costs. I used to order parts from Chain reaction in England Through the post office. They changed there shipping to use only 1 company. The price almost tripled and there was always a “ oh by...

I got some time to through a few parts at the bike.( the wife’s list is going to suffer, it’s ok we have not had a good fight in a long time. We’re due). I got some wheels and tires together and threw on a fork. So far so good, I like the skip tooth drive and fender.

Thanks for the encouragement. I will start throwing parts at it as soon as I can

Here it is. 1934 Elgin with a S/A 2 speed kick back hub with 27 inch aluminum wheels. I rides nice even with the skinny tires. other additions are a noS wald mirror, rotary engine whirlygig, and a southern comfort flask. Also a era correct handle bar and grips with a Redline 45 tooth chain ring...

Thanks for your comments. I think it is done, based on the time left and the time that I have. I usually paint them but this one I did a flat clear coat and i like the way it turned out. And it rides well. I think I will put it in the finished file thanks

No pressure. I have taken the seat bag off and added the head badge.

Well it is together and rides really good. I had to stop adding stuff it is starting to look like a garage sale. I still have to attach the head badge and maybe change the seat.

Geepig the paint stand is very simple. it is made out of 1 inch plastic pipe and all comes apart for easy storage. Sets up in about 5 minutes. I have started assembly I think I should change the name to “ Krusty Hipster”.

The clear coat is now on I will start assembly soon

The redline chainring is a left over from my son’s bmx racing days. It is a 45 tooth, I do not know how it will go. With the 27 inch wheels, we will see.

Hello all, I have not been active this last month (life gets in the way, in a good way). I just had a look a the bikes that are already finished. WOW I am just trying to get to the finish line. Today I made some time to work on the bike. I finished grinding the welds and sanded the rest. I am...

Thanks for the link Matti. Very interesting bikes and info. I did not see this frame on there. this bike is in desperate need of a really ratty loaf seat. Good luck in your hunt for a Bobcat.

Garage sale find. No idea who made it.

This one is on my rat bike

In this case the bracket for the truss rods is bolt on. I am working on the fine details such as a bracket for the flask, the mounting of the chain guard and the seat hardware. I have been trying to pick a color combination so far I a leaning towards a butter yellow on the frame and fork with...

Thanks frogtown, I did get a little more time in the shop tonite. I finely got a kick stand to fit, it is a butterfly style that both legs come up on the left side of the bike ( I know that no self respecting hipster would have a kickstand on his bike.) but it is the only way I can store it and...
