Been in parts gathering mode & have almost everything I need finally to start & complete the Stutz. Change of plans on the wheels on this bike, it is getting Velocity Blunt 35 rims that I already received & still need to paint the carmine color of the bike. Decided on the Blunt 35's to save some money since they are going to be painted anyway. Received new white jeweled Coke Bottle grips and will be using these white pedal blocks on some donor Torrington 8 pedals. Also bought a Persons Heavy Duty brown saddle that should be perfect for this bike last night so waiting to receive it. Got a Persons Majestic Tombstone auto car rear reflector off ebay that will be altered for bike use just for a fun touch. I'll document the alteration here when I get to it. The auto versions can be had for around $50 whereas the bike versions sell for $200+. Cream Electra Amsterdam tires are on their way to me as well. The bike will get the Delta battery canister I fabricated and a Delta light rather than the Vesta Accumulator set. The Vesta light & cannister are going on my 1915 Chief. Plan to start cleaning the bike up over the next week as soon as I get the Hartford finished, I am down to just lacing up the rear wheel on that bike (got the front one done Saturday & on the bike).
All I have left to find is:
- donor Torrington 8 pedals
- 28"drop stand
- EA Labs Klaxon Horn (black with appropriate patina)
- The perfect 1927 license plate
Here are the new parts:
Pedal Blocks & Grips
NOS Diamond Chain
Persons Tombstone Reflector
Persons Heavy Duty Saddle
