Cool story, and how can you go wrong with a Cycle Truck!

Thanks @toro1978, I have always been a fan of the early teens/20's bicycles and motorcycles... the simple yet effective geometry of the double-diamond frames, truss rods welded to the forks and the long-spring saddles. This will be my first with 28" wheels, and I have a feeling it is going to...

pretty neat...

Agreed, I placed it on the bottom bar, no contact at full lock in 1st gear. Appendages might be safer now, albeit less of a Rat Fink shifter sticking out of the roof effect...

Thanks Jake! I'm liking your builds too, both two and four wheels...

Yup, I hear that! It's not in the best spot just yet, it's a suicide shift of sorts. Nice bike!

I like it! I am thinking that color is not seen too often, pretty cool. Those rims would look great with some gold pins.

Thank you Matti...

I am liking this build... Great lines and patina on this JC Higgins.

Sweet, Looks like a bike I built and wheelied, jumped and rode the snot out of many decades ago...

Like to see raw thoughts get refined in Adobe Illustrator then to CNC vinyl cutter, which are the bomb. The final product looks well conceived, designed. Period fonts sell the look! Great job.

Got some "modern" fender stay mounts in the mail today, one more box checked off. Now I can adjust and trim off the excess.

Very cool! Always wanted to build a true ballooner with wide, modern wheels. Someday!

Love it! I design/build scale sets, models and dioramas at Mattel (usually at Barbie or Hot Wheels scale) and work with miniatures almost exclusively, will share some pics at a later date. These are awesome.

That is super cool...

Such a cool build! As a muscle-car enthusiast, ex-street racer I dig this build and how it ties in to the awesome Southern CA '60's car culture and Big Daddy Roth, and the whole hot-rodding car culture prevalent in this country today. Having worked at Mattel for the last 13 years I have seen and...

Yeah man, thanks Chad!

Interesting... He is mentioned here (page 5) and was/is a resident of Florida. Being a Major is major, just below lieutenant colonel. Will be a cool bike, I'll bet he'd like to see it. http://www.alpost385fl.com/ALPost385Jan07.pdf

Thanks for the kind words, I agree! Much coolness here on this site for sure. Yes, it is a repro "6v" battery can, the type that accepted the old dry cells. There is a seller on eBay who sells what look like 6v batteries, but they are configured to put modern D-cells inside, with the idea of...

White, coke bottle jeweled grips were added today that will match the tires, also was playing with placement for the sweet Boxkars 3 speed Nexus shifter that came in the mail today. I may move it to a few different places before I'm through...
