'37 H.P. Snyder frame, Hawthorne, Rollfast, the fork and chain ring, fenders are incorrect for bike, make sure you check the frame over very closely for crack's, they are noted for it especially around the seat post area

 

[hzqw2l]

Progress so far. Painted the frame and forks metallic blue. Working on fenders. Should have a mock up build soon....

READY for Bearing cups

paint job looks sweeet!
any idea what kind of stem that came with? my 40s roadmaster has the same one

Thanks!!!!

Not sure but I'd guess an old Wald with the top bolt. I have the same one on a 1940's Womens Shelby and a 1937 Mens Pilot. Pretty common back then.

Almost There...

Almost done...

Built to ride. Tested it out and found the coaster brake wasn't working very well. Have to rebuild it but I'm thinking of doing different rims now.

Stay tuned...
