Too late. I had already blasted the rear half of the frame. I started to see that and stopped to get some pictures so I could replicate it. This was too rusty and pitted to really salvage it and make it look good. I've got too many nicer patinad rides, this one wouldn't have cleaned up very...

Lookie what I found. Started blasting. Reverse darts. Cool! I had planned on just doing a basic dart design, but now my job just got harder. That design is too cool not to replicate.

I will keep that in mind. I'll have to play with it to see what works with the truss rods. Thanks. BTW, I noticed that on your build and wondered about it. Now I know, cool.

Making progress I guess. Did some more mock up of the actual parts that will be going on the bike. This is pretty much what it'll look like. Have to think of something to mount the rear brake without modifying the frame. I think I'll leave the steer tube long and put some spacers on it, the...

Very very cool. These types of builds are timeless. Never get tired of seeing them. So simple, yet so beautiful.

Simple and clean. Love it!

I wish this one was a prewar, even though I actually prefer the c model like the Admiral on the stand. Didn't get anything done on the klunker today. I'll get it blasted this week so I have a bare frame to work with while I mock parts up and know what I'm dealing with. Beginning to wonder if...

Too many distractions. Bunch of different bike projects that need done and the weather is beautiful today. I did get the frame all stripped down and the headbadge off. It's ready to be blasted. Building this one has me thinking about another bike I have. Did I mention distractions? Was trying...

Yes it's getting a 3 speed Shimano tandem wheelset. I've had them sitting around for years and need to use them. It's got a coaster, although I'd planned on rim brakes front and rear. I'm not a huge fan of cables and crap ruining the lines of the bike, but when I ride off-road the rear brake is...

I've been thinking about the paint on this one. It's been awhile since I've gone all professional on a build with a nice paint job. Dug through my secret stash and work and forgot about some of the badass colors I've already got mixed up. I went back and forth for awhile whether to paint it up...

It's gonna be tight, but after a little 90* bend it'll go right on and clear the brake. The main reason for wanting to do this build was to use up some spare parts that I've been saving for years, but could never find a home for. Jon

Better late than never right? Got really excited for this build off and then forgot about it while I was taking a little break from the hobby. Anywho. '37ish Hawthorne Zep/fastback frame. Have a 3 speed tandem wheelset for it. Set of rim brakes salvaged off a dyno I pulled from a river. Cheapo...

These Worksman's are really growing on me.. I built one on the website the other day, I just can't get into buying a new bike, I've only ever bought one new one and I'll never do it again. Someday I'll build one.

Is it January yet?

That's cool. I've not yet had the chance to look into all the different advertising. But everything said in that one is correct!

'72 model J. All original. I'm the second owner. Good eye, not many would have got that just from the shot I posted.

Still have a couple finishing touches to do on this one. Found the perfect saddle today. Needs a little work but it's perfect for this bike. Brooks B72

Shakedown ride today! Enjoying this 65 degree weather in northern Indiana in the middle of December! Doing as she was designed to do. Rides awesome! Smooth, quiet, nimble, light and quick. I love it! Jon

Thanks! Taking her on a longer maiden voyage tomorrow morning. We'll see how she does. First pics in the sun from the other day
