Where I go to college I am the only one who uses the bike racks. And I get some weird looks rideing my stingray back and forth to class. They ask me, "why don't you just drive over here?" cause its not that far. Its crazy how wasteful people are these days.

IM about 6ft, and yes they built some for the military, my 1947 was a navy issue bike.

Just ordered a 47t anodised red porkchop bmx chopsaw sprocket for it, and a set of glow-in-the-dark Oury grips (just to see if they work) Also not sure on the bars i want to use, im running wald 13in ape hangers on my other bomber but may use something different on this one. Anybody got any ideas?

Yup thats definitely Huffman-Dayton, its my favorite style frame (PS ill but or trad the frame off ya if ya wanna get rid of it :cool2:)

Haha its only 2 builds right now

Well heres what im starting with (in its sale pic lol) A 1941 Western Flyer Badged Dayton. I'm very fond of these frames as of their geometry happens to be perfectly fit to me. This one still wears it original paint and i will be leaving it. Cause my other dayton, my '47 used to be and you...

For me its old fashioned Hunt-Wildes or newer mtb style Orey's. Although im about to try out some AME's

If original wald 13 in ape hangers count then yes. They are what I have run on all my bombers. They don't flex much under my 125lbs weight, plus they give me the control I like of the bike.

You have a customer from me when you make them! probably the closest ill get to my favorite bike, the spacelander!

Welcome! Im from out in Conway, AR

Starting to remove the mass of skin cancer from it today

Thinking of using Kenda small block eight tires for it to fit with the "last of the v8" connotation

Man I wish they sold that car in the US, that 73 XB falcon is one of my favorite cars

The tank plate badge thing will be attached to the frame via 3M Automotive Adhesive Tape- the same stuff holding the emblems on newer cars. That way I am not modifying the Colson's frame any. It will also have a ghost black RRB Decal on the downtube.

Ok heres a 5ish minute sketch of roughly my plan for the build

Cool, I went grey tires last year but am going black this year. I was just surprised they made tires in about every color, blue, pink, red, and all

Gonna keep the tires black? Or go colored tires?

Well its a 1941 Colson, so the year is no longer unknown, but now it almost seems wrong to use the Japanese araya wheels on the classic American frame considering what went down in '41 Oh well, im part German anyway and its a post-apocalypse themed build so it wont matter lol

Heres some stock pics of s few http://www.nostalgic.net/bicycle1231 Heres is a good ad of one--- http://www.nostalgic.net/bicycle175/picture575

Wooooo!!! a Model 1000 in the Build off!!! a much much newer version of the Model 1000 is the first RRB I ever built and what gave me my screenname since it was a black diamond frame bike. Can you believe they made this frame all the way until the AMF days?
