Thanks. It looks pretty cool in there, I think... I just wanted some feedback before I start taking apart 10 speeds. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Has anybody tried this to change your chainline? I switched the wheels on my BONINE build "The Graverobber", and now I have rubbing issues in my chain line. The ring stays in place when I pedal it, but, I still need to go bigger. I just want to know if anybody has tried this, and have you had...

We used seamless paper in my wife's studio. it goes from the ceiling out to about 8 feet from the wall on the floor. It was like 110" wide or something, so just the edges were blended out and then the vignette added. I wanted the bike to be the star, not the background. I was inspired by The...

Here is my "Las Ditch F-4T". I hope you like it as much as I do!

**Friday** Brought home some steel wool. I worked the paint a bit to make it match the rest of the bike a bit more. I used some more purse parts to mount a dual horn setup as well. I got a late start, then, I had an issue with the fringes on the seat. I hopefully have that solved. I think...

Dried quickly, and put it back together. I can't find my steel wool, so, aging will have to wait until tomorrow. I needed to find a reflector for the back of the rack...that was becoming a chore on short notice. Until, that is, I found this sweet, vintage toy gun holster! How sweet is that...

Thanks for the good vibes, everyone! **Thursday** Time to tie in those pistachio rims a bit more. Mixed up some matching paint at work today. Got it all masked off and prepped. Tried a few new things with this one. First, I didn't want to have to work the rust around the tank rot too much, so...

**Wednesday** Seat time. My wife was just throwing away this purse! Can you believe it?? I'm calling this seat "The Calvin" after my mullet-ed coworker. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Thanks. I almost always ditch those...just haven't done it yet. Still more to do. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Thanks! I have been wanting one of these for a long time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm very happy with the results! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

**Tuesday** The chain guard was a great addition. But, it needed something more... I didn't want to add fenders, I was digging the look I had going. But, it needed something behind the seat. I had a rear rack off an old Elgin that I decided would be a good fit... It was just begging for a...

**Monday** I removed the original crank and added the wheels, tires, chain and crank that were intended for the Dead Sled...she was already a rider! Then, I remembered the Packard chain guard that I had been saving! It was grey primer, and it just wouldn't do. I hit it with a good coat of red...

The Lead Sled is dead. I didn't think I would enter a bike this year after I gave up on the Sled. Then, I went to the annual local Car Show/Swap Meet... **Sauturday** I found this beauty! I was in love, and got it for a pretty fair price! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I did find a sweet Hiawatha frame at the swap meet this weekend... I threw the crank and the wheels that were going to be on the lead sled. I had a chain guard off an old Packard bicycle that had just been sitting around. I had to paint it to match the frame, so I sprayed some red oxide primer...

Well, Summer got away from me. A little too much happened and I just realized that the deadline is this weekend. I just don't have it in me to put in all nighters and throw together something halfa** in this competition. I'm super bummed out about it, but, I'm out. Maybe next year. Good luck...

It took some getting used to, but it's really not bad. It rides SO nice! I added a few finishing touches. A phone mount (for utility), couple of decals, and some pinstriping at the gussets.

Got my brake and lever today. Decided to trim some more off the bars...make more of a statement with it. It's clean, comfortable and tight...and if my serial number decoding is correct, it's a 1966 model? Not to shabby for a 49 year old!
