Re: 1/4 mEyel cReaper Me So Horny!

Found some cruddy Persons pedals and the best/worst kickstand I could scrounge up, complete with vintage hockey tape. Kind of reminds me of old mummy wrappings.

Snapped an axle bolt, damn white metal, and booted over the HotRodRob's house for a spare. It helps to have fellow RRBers nearby!

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . .

Here's what the original axle bolt decided to do to me. That was cute eh! :x

Test ride time! Maybe I can tick off the block party around the corner, lol.

Re: 1/4 mEyel cReaper Snapped Bolts Suck!

Test rides(s) went well so far, got 3 gears! Scrounged up some old orange hot rod reflectors and mounted them in the ends of the grips.

I also dug into my complete, and framed, '53 Wheaties Canadian bicycle license plate collection and pulled off the Ontario plate. I have yet to find any plates from my city, so this was the best I could manage.

My gf said I would never need 50 feet of old speaker wire, well she was wrong. I've used it to tie off the tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers growing in the garden. It makes perfect ties for license plates too!

Re: 1/4 mEyel cReaper Almost Done!

Sanded down some spots on the headlight to 'age' it and double checked the taillight.

Added these vintage air caps as well.
