Won the auction for these, at less than the cost of two of the ovals, and so can have some rotating head badges to fit my mood. I don't really care if I am not period correct (the ovals would be). Excited to put on that Speedway one.

Should work. May have to jigger a thing or two. But I will figure it out. Excited for the project!

Got myself a Brooks B72 from that auction site that looks serviceable and that will fit in with the patina. Starting to come together slowly in terms of parts. Also struck a deal on those vintage S/A drum brakes @Pondo found. I like the idea of using them. The seller took a look at my thread...

Always wanted to do some Klunker build, maybe kinda like the Marin bikes, particularly Gary's (though I am not worried about being pre-war) and kinda like, meaning close enough. Not exact. But also, kinda want to keep a more vintage vibe, and maybe use the original fenders when it is wet...
