TRADITIONAL 🅵🅾🅾🅻🅸🅶🅰🅽 - 1930s Elgin Oriole - 2nd Place (Tie) - BUILD JOURNAL

I am leaning towards a crusty build this year and the clean orange paint on the waterfall beehive has been throwing my eyes off. So I remembered that I've had @Wildcat 's old 53 CWC bare metal build for over 10 years now. Well, because it was bare metal, it's more bare crusty now.

Yup stop right there

If you're not going to refinish the paint, then the crusty beehive is the way to go. I will say that I prefer the brushed aluminum rims over the black enamel one, so hopefully you'll get the fitment worked out.

Actually, the narrower black rims didn't gain me any additional clearance, so for now I am planning to stick with the wider silver painted rims.

Rolled FOOLIGAN back out yesterday and noticed that I must have pinched the rear tube since it was flat. I'll fix that later.

I wanted to play around with some forks again.

• The Evanaction is still an option since it turns out the bolts under the fork were only there for a fender, so there shouldn't be any clearance issues.
• The early waterfall beehive is still an option.
• Forgot that I had this Rollfast/Snyder beehive. This is similar to the fork I used on Flexy back in BO7, but this one has the more cylindrical spring and is just like the springers on the collectable Hopalong Cassidy bikes.
• Crusty later beehive that I've had from @wildcats old 53 CWC build.

Forkin' eh!

 

[Shrunken_Head_Pedaler]

I tested the Rollfast first. I didnt completely mount the wheel to it because it is a major ordeal with these unique forks. I just tested for width clearance and then semi mocked it for a side profile.
