My humble submission for your consideration:
1947 CWC-built Western Flyer Super

Unknown peaked fenders
Unknown chainguard and bars from Joe (yeshoney)
Layback seatpost by Chad (slowriderz)
Weld mods to seatpost and fork by my great friend Big Pants Bob
1967 Mustang Foglight (can't remember which RRB member I purchased it from)
Felt wheels and rivet seat (can't remember which RRB member I purchased them from)
NOS SR stem
Thompson Bottle Grips
70s Huffy Chainring
80s Mongoose rat trap pedals
RRB Joker card from Justin (youthgeye}
Many thanks to my MIL for spending nearly 4 hours with me today taking photos at three separate locations. We had fun driving around a one time booming industrial town, New Britain, CT looking for interesting backdrops. The three locations we used were Walnut Hill Park Rose Garden, a place dedicated to the women of New Britain who gave their sons and husbands to the WWII effort. LTC Construction's property which had some great old warehouses, and New Britain Business Complex, which was once the proud location of Stanley Works.
Here are what I think are the best photos:

The next two are a couple of my favorites:

I think that's it. I hope I haven't bored you with too much redundancy.
Best of luck to all the builders. There are some amazing bikes, and I am not worthy.
