Its been a while since I posted due to life getting busy. Sorry for the long delay. Got the front brake in the mail today!!! got a few extra brake pads to go with it. It even came with stickers and a little booklet filled with rat rod bikes people in Germany have built. I’ll need to brush up on...

great bike to start with! really like the tank design. and i'm glad no wasps were home.

my honest opinion is i think you nailed it. really like the tires you picked out too!

thank you for finding that out, i was always wondering what it was meant for. my grandparents live in guelph (that is where i got this sprocket) but i had no idea that there was a bicycle made there. thanks again :)

If you were racing in the early Tour De France a frame pump was a must! i'll be adding one within the week.

That's better

I want to change the sprocket to something without the name CCM on the side, I found the perfect sprocket that I had in a parts box (I have no idea what it was from). Also it’s a 48 tooth chain, that’s up from the 46 from before. Unfortunately it does not fit the crank. So with help from my...

Finally getting the frame put together with help from my father, after hammering the bearing races back into the frame we started to attach the front fork, and singe piece crank. I forgot to mention that while all of the bearings were removed, they were washed off using Varsol and then re packed...

judging by the wine bottle opener im guessing thats a french bike? ;) funny enough, supposedly there is a cult following started in the early days of french bicycle racing of attaching champagne cork to ones bike. “In days of old, when bike riders were bold, and a fixed gear was all they’d need...

One thing I do want is install a front brake for if (or when) the rear coaster break fails. But I don’t want a brake that uses cables (that would be too easy). I need something a little more suitable for the early 1900s. For years I have been looking at antique bicycles and had always wondered...

i really like the bottom bicycle's handlebars, are they both yours? they both look great! unfortunately i can't come close to affording handlebars off ebay, a student life is not a luxurious life ;)

Now that the decals are varnished I think it really looks like they were painted on by hand, the gold and silver really give off an iridescent glow under the light and look like real precious metal leaf. Over all I’m pretty happy with the result. Once everything has cured overnight I will pound...

that's a good idea if i ever do this again in the future, i got impatient and stuck them on without it though lol. only ripped one to shreds, (i'm glad i got duplicates)

I got the decals on without many major problems. Once on I very lightly sanded the surface and the edges of the decals with extremely fine automotive sand paper. This will make the decal “edgeless” and remove any tattered edges. I then lightly sanded the entire frame and fork to promote adhesion...

such an awesome bike! the curves and style of the tank and light will always be a favorite. i like what you plan on doing with it.

This is one of the decals I will be using; it was designed in paint program and then sent off to a decal printing company. I thought about it for a while and have decided to customize this bike by putting my name on each side and making a custom head badge decal for the front. I decided to do my...

the spokes are caked with rust, but the chrome rims and 3 speed hub are in decent shape at least.

how did you do that? looks great!

nice bikes! i can't afford anything on eBay though, shipping to Canada is extremely expensive (not to mention the Canadian dollar is low). i am limited to what i find at local bicycle shops and what i find at the local scrap yard. i did find a set of rims and a Major Taylor steel handlebar...
