Well done, love it!

Chuck I'd like to purchase a set if you have them left still? Mike

Really nice Camel Back Matt, can't wait to see it finished! I'm Rat Rodding a early Raleigh Colt Camel Back ... so seeking tips on your bulidup.

Nice work, love the retained patina besides single speed conversion!

Nicely done!

Wanted straight bar ... Worksman, Husky, or Summit frame only.

Who wouldn't love that one ... terrific hope you post pics when complete.:wink1:

Chuck: still available?

Soft but are they 100% cotton or a blend?

Really terrific ... love this application. Great job!

Thank you for that advise ... it appears that would be the easiest and productive way to do it.

Frankly I wish they dropouts were a bit over 3/8" but they are very close to 1/2 inch and appear to be consistent in that measurement with little to no wear points.

To a most appreciative enthusiast ... the bike is precisely what you described and put simply I could not be more pleased with your going beyond the call to transport it door to door. It doesn't get any better than that!! Mike

You would not know the model as there were a number of touring type bike in 1951? Thank you, Mike

You were on the right track ... it was from Klunkers and Mountain Bike Forum, under Industrial Klunkers and Frame Comparison. Explores the basics pretty well would be nice to have more definitive information.

Recall seeing a conversation about the Schwinn or Westfield type early bikes, therein the discussion was quite good and rated the reasons to purchase a particular maker to build a Klunker bike from. One point very interesting was his review of straight opposed to bent upward rear lower chain...

Realize you are aware of the down tube issue, as you know that can be a relatively simple fix or a nightmare. How badly is the bottom bracket affected, have you verified that the BB is not out of round from previous work? Still interested ... but Mike
