"No nose" Darren knows what it is even if nosey Mrs. Kravitz doesn't.
Maybe Aunt Clara knows?

Aunt Clara could bring clarity to Gladys about why the bike is named Abner.
Can we expect to see some more epic fiberglass modifications on this sweet wishbone? As usual, I'm excited to see what you build!
Cool frame, but I notice it already has a top tube...
Are you going to gender swap it to a girls bike and then add a tank to make it male again?

Yes, I am in the process of making a fiberglass tank for it.
Wouldn't that be ironic!
No gender benders for this one.
Awesome!!

That's actually why I'm building this bike.
The tank is one of two new TRM reproduction tanks that will be ready for market in the next couple of months. The build off just happened to fall at the right time for me to build a demo bike to showcase the upcoming reveal.
The Abner themed riddle was meant to lead to everyone to the tank that I'll let drop soon.
Oooh, tasty. I may be in the market
That's my job!!

IF not, I'd be in the market for that frame!
This is one of my faves which I'll be building it up eventually. I just need to decide on a build plan and get the right parts. I love these old double bar wishbones. I'd like to fine another but there's a hens teeth thing that comes to mind.
Hmm . . Light Daddy? From https://bestnicknametees.com/boys-names/letter-a-boys/abner/

I hesitated to click the HERE link. Didn't want to get Rick rolled. But it's safe to click.It seems that my Abner riddle has reached a stalemate. Thanks for playing along!
The answer can be found HERE.
Love those wishbone Shelbys. Are you reproducing both the full tank and the no nose?It seems that my Abner riddle has reached a stalemate. Thanks for playing along!

The short answer is yes. Here is a link to all of the parts that I offer.
I've been selling the Shelby Airflow and Arrow tanks for a while now. I have wanted to make the 'No-Nose' tanks since I started making the other two Speedline tanks to complete the three versions of Shelby tanks used on the wishbone frames. Earlier in the 1930's before the Speedline bikes were produced they were offered with what is known as the "Peanut' tank, but I digress.
I'm really looking forward to producing the No Nose tanks very soon and building Abner to show it being used!

Like Gladys, my TRM fiberglass tanks have been 'nosy' for years.
So Abner (who never went along with her nosiness) will break the cycle with his 'NO-NOSE' stance.

I just checked out your FB page and catalog. Some beautiful stuff there! I'm going to have to save up a few duckets. The question is Gladys or Abner. Both great options.
Ahhhhhh... 'nosy'. I tried to figure out how bewitched tied into bicycles. Looked up cast names (real and fictional), spouses, etc... I tried @The Renaissance Man but I guess I don't get to enter the G.A.P.
