Re: '67'

Man ! yr grady rocket is one of my fav bikes.Well done on that one...The color combo is so fab,that I decided to use it on 2 bikes...A 20's Automoto 27" and I have a 1939 girls hawthorne frame w/ truss forks,which will have a gender change then turned into a boardtracker w/ sidecar.(winter project)

Cool start. I'll be watching this one. Have fun building!

Thanks very much! Fantastic, very cool.

Re: '67'

Slow progress, decals arrived, but still waiting on more...
Also undecided on front suspension, waiting on some triple's to come from germany.Was wanting to build all from trash can parts,except tires,but I think the knew set of forks will look much better.
Grinded all the xtra bits off the frame,just have to widen the rear dropouts to fit the 3" on...

While we wait. Here is my first build. I call her "Endless Summer".
A schwinn woody very beach boys.Surfboard shaped rack n Dead Edna dashboard hula...

"Endless Summer".

Re: '67'

Slow progress,just waiting on some parts...

Some more parts:

Light is from a old honda chappy/monkey bike:

Rear end with a slight bend,will try and iron that out in a few days.

Managed to widened the rear end by 1cm...Wheel fits in fine...

Sanding the frame back,a lot of rust under the original paint job.

Frame sanded,smooth as a babies !!!!

Undercoat on and drying:

And this is my workshop view... :mrgreen:

It takes 78 muscles to pedal a bike,98 if you are smiling while riding.
And 200 to stop yourself going over the handlebars,cause you were smiling like a sap...

Re: '67'

That's an amazing view! you have GOT to use that as the background for the finished picture!

Re: '67'

I wonder if the guy on the boat is looking back over the land and saying to his wife "Look over there. There's a guy with a bicycle frame hanging on a clothes line."

Man, you do have a great view though. Those little purplish-pink flowers on the bushes really set it off. Is that land far out in the distance under the clouds or just more of the cloud formation?

Or he might be saying "There's a girl with a bicycle frame hanging on a clothes line."

Re: '67'

Your build is fun to watch. I'm jealous of your paint booth. It's 55 degrees and raining in mine. Juneuary in Seattle and no paint.
