Nick I PM'd you. I think I have a wheel for you. If I do it's yours if you and your dad can come pick it up in Meriden. I'll check in the attic tonight.

That would be great! I PM'd you back :wink:

Dude! That's looking good. Hopefully you can get the rear wheel sorted. The red on front really makes the bike pop!

Thanks for the great comments guys! 6 more weeks left...I'm not sure I can do it :shock: :shock:

You can do it!!!!! What color red is that? It's a great looking red and contrasts extremely well with the tire. Great work buddy!

Thanks! The paint is Krylon Banner Red :wink:

Come n get it Nick! New Departure hub works great. Spokes are a little rusty and one was replaced with a stainless spoke, but it's totally rideable and I'm sure you can clean it up good.

Call me at 203-631-0021 to arrange pickup.

What does the chainwheel on your exercise bike look like? I also noticed your exercise bike is ready for road use since it has reflectors on the pedals! :?

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 12- I got a wheel!-Mocked up)

Thanks pick and bigdaddy!

Yoothgeye, the chainring looks just like the one on the original '53 :wink: I put it on the other day, but never got a pic :mrgreen:
