Hands down, the CWC Roadmaster
Good luck

I agree the Roadmaster, awsome bike.

Agree very cool, but for some reason the lightweight is calling out to me... Beautiful ride.
Nice to have a choice between 3 great bikes I bet!

I'm diggin' the speedmaster! Maybe the lightweights can do a sub-build off?

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

Thanks for the votes!!!!!!! I am so torn..I love the Road Master, it looks real tough and I dig the red seat and grips.. but the Speed Master looks so simple and nimble..would be a great bike to zip around town and it is way different from any other bike I own and also the oldest I own...OHHHHHHHHH Decisions Decisions....(maybe that will be that name of the one I choose)
Thanks

Both. Just figure out which one is best suited for the August deadline, then start the other.

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

hmm.. well, I have to say I love the leighweight, and since so few get entered, might give you an edge ( or a hinderance, lol ).
I'd be more likely to vote for that one.

however, I would like to see the middleweight done, too - but have a biased / ulterior motive, as I have the twin, same color and all, that I could use ideas to steal

Do the Speed Master 8)

Roadmaster! I guess I'm partial to fat tire CWC's.

 

[bebopblu]

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

Thanks for the comments..In the end all three will be built and posted in the build section...I am still undecided but now it is between the two CWCs..I will post the Columbia build in the build section but it will have to take a backseat to the bike that gets committed to the build off.

Just fyi, there's a lightweight sub build-off, if you decide to go that way

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

I'm sure what ever you build will be cool, I loved your transformation last year.

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

Normally, I'm a sucker for middleweights (especially the swoopy Jet Age cantilevers) but I've gotta go with the heavy for this one. Maybe if you had a cantilever bike in the mix I'd feel differently... ;-)

on to the build

Re: Which one to build???Light,Middle or Heavy weight?

Well thanks for all the nice comments and a special thanks to the member that remembered my build from last year! I have decided to go with the 53 CWC Road Master...it is calling me I am going to call it "Decisions..Decisions" because I am going to have many to ponder and make during this build. I have a few ideas now but I had a few last year and the build turned out totally different..
This bike was originally green and has been repainted black and white. I really like the red seat and grips and notice that the badge is also Black and White and Red....And as a strange coincidence the Rat Rad Bikes build off #8 t-shirt is also a Black and White and Red CWC Road Master looking bike :shock: :shock: So maybe build the t-shirt bike??? or has that already been done??

I think you are the first, +1 for that idea, i'd love to see it.

Re: Decisions..Decisions 53 CWC Roadmaster

Just ordered a t-shirt for a closer look at the bike...seriously thinking of building that bike but with a few modifications

The shirt is based off of Terry66's Western Flyer Jet Tanker. One of my favorite builds ever.

Re: Decisions..Decisions 53 CWC Roadmaster

Another CWC in the mix can't hurt.

Terry's bike is a Murray frame with a CWC springer, and a great looking bike.

Re: Decisions..Decisions 53 CWC Roadmaster

Thanks so much for the link to Terrys build..I will then use that and the t-shirt bike as inspiration for my build and then modify to make it my own and original.. ahhhh Decisions..Decisions :?
