Thanks it's the first one I've done like that probably should have used flat for a little more difference.

Thanks guys

Thanks guys had fun and headaches this build off.

Awesome looking build as always.

Thanks the chain wheel was in the parts pile with the rest of the parts wasn't sure if it was original. Will check the serial number later today.

Thanks maybe could have went a little wider with the base but it's fine.

Started with 2 huffy's chopped the rear sections of both bikes off and used one to stretch the other one a few inches. I decided to use both of the built on racks to make the seat one for the base and half the other for a back rest I had a 1" Harley handle bar I cut 3" out of the center to bring...

Took a ride around the neighborhood today and have to say that it was a really smooth ride took a quick ride video.

What I started with a 58 ish Firestone 500 in a pile of parts with a few missing pieces. found some fenders that matched the patina better and added some baskets. I cleaned the frame up with some WD40 and steel wool and then a couple coats of boiled linseed oil and acetone mix. I had to...

Been raining here almost every evening. Don't think I'll be able to get pics before this weekend but either Saturday or Sunday.

Finally no raining here after work today so I figured out how much I needed to clear the fender with the kickstand. I needed 16 1/4" . Took the pieces of tubing I cut slid onto the halves of the stand. Measured both sides to get the needed 16 1/4. Lined the ends up welded the sleeves up.Not...

I wasn't liking how it seemed like the bike wants to fall over with the kickstand. So I picked up this bike stand at the flea market not sure what size it was for but for $2 it was worth the risk. Until I got home and saw 24 stamped on it. So I grabbed the grinder with the cutting wheel and went...

They live we me so at least 2-3 times a week he asks if we can go for a ride soon as I get home from work.

Nice work on the fender and braces. The darts on some of bikes are just awesome.

Went for a test ride with the grandson hoping it would help seat the tires. I don't feel anything riding so I'm just going to roll with it. I'm wondering if it's from having them hanging up? Grandson wanted to get his ride in a pic too. Might see if I have a little bit bigger cog for the rear...

Riding it in the up position looks like you are riding a Penny farthington with a small wheel on the front.

Thanks guys. Not much done yesterday but I did get the handle bar cut down. With the 3 inches I cut out of the middle to bring the knurling together and 2 inches I cut off the ends yesterday makes 7" total cut down. I'm happy with the results will get a better pic when I finish putting it...

Finally got around to painting the tank and chain guard yesterday.

I think it is because of the bead being small compared to other tires I have. Fooled around with them yesterday I think I got them good enough going to ride it around the neighborhood today and see how they do. I can't return them because I got them used.

It's kind of like the tires are off center l checked the rims and they are to see if off but are fine.
