Nice! I enjoyed seeing that. Here's another of Sheldon's that is really cool. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ranger.html

Ithought Long Beach was mostly for moto's, but Thanks a ton never-the-less. I'm getting close to getting most of the parts put together. I just snagged the stem this week have a seat, seat post and chainring that are supposedly in the mail. Really just need the appropriate handlebar. Been...

Geez my friend! I'm going to have to start hitting garage sales. TCN PS. saw you a couple days ago commuting on the Merc on Calle Cristobol. Would've honked, but I didn't want you to jump out of your skin. Bike looks great!

Very cool! I like where this one is going. TCN

Re: A Tribute for Dad is Packed! I love it!

Yeah, I really like DMF. I'm in the process of putting together parts for a trip up there. I still have a few key pieces to put together before then and I'm glad to see that they did a good job on small parts. The seat is great. I've been looking for something similar for my build. Problem...

Looks nice Aaron! The chrome came out very nice and I can't wiat to see it complete. You're making a lot better progress than I. What did you decide to do with the seat? Too cool not to use. Tim

Re: A Tribute for Dad, first mock up I've been following this thread just to see the look on your Dad's face when he gets this. Great bike, great thread. Thanks!

Probably not a Mead Ranger. More likely an Hawthorne or an Elgin. These motobike style frames where mass produced by a number of companies and were sold under a number of different brands making it difficult to absolutely identify it. The New departure model C rear hub will help date the bike...

Very nicely done! Love the Paint scheme and parts selection. Nice work on the pinstriping as well. How does it ride?

Nice Dave! This has always been one of my favorite bikes!

It's the seat post cluster from my mountain bike.

Re: Trail Blazer... And so it begins (again) Spent Father's Day working on the project (best present my family could've given me). Dirty, nasty, hard, manual work, but we're almost ready for Paint!

Nice! Love the curves on the Bottom Bracket. Great old seat too. Sure you don't want to use that?

Re: Trail Blazer... And so it begins (again) Thanks, but I'm going to assume you're refering to the Pereira, I wish I could say I did that but that was done by the Coat Paint shop in Portland OR. They are the in house paint shop for Vanilla Cycles. It is my dream that what I'm doing turns...

Re: Trail Blazer... And so it begins (again) Thanks! Unfortunately I've got a ways to go. While the frame was structurally sound, the surface was pitted worse than I originally thought. It's especially obvious when you look at the headtube and the area surrounding where the Head Badge had...

Aaron, Thank you for the compliment and back at you. Between your Merc and the brave, you've got me beat. As for the new project, you score the Klunker lover's holy grail and no pictures?????? What gives??????

Nope different friend, same problem. I guess that's two strikes, eh?

Re: Trail Blazer... And so it begins (again) Obviously, that was my draw to the frame as well. One of the ideas I've been toying with is painting this to match my Pereira. Thought is would be cool to have the two together. I'm having difficulty tracking down a comparable color in an...
