WOW! Absolutely beautiful restore. I'm not versed in Derby's are they in the Elgin family of bikes (from the chainring and truss rod setup)?
In any case, WOW!
I have not found much info on Derbys, but have many features of the Mercury. The headbadge is same shape as Mercury, but the Merc came with many trinkets like fender tips, hub covers and those fancy light pods.
Thanks! I wanted to do something that would show off the straight bars so was thinking bright Schwinn yellow but with the white tires (and I got lazy) I just took off the paint and polished/clear coated it. Do you got a link/pic of your 62?Nice looking bike...Have a 62 corvette bare metal for couple years..maybe paint someday?
I thought it rode great. As far as it being sturdy I have my doubts but that's mostly due to my poor welding. Here is a video riding it.AKA_LOCOJOE how did that swing bike turn out as far as it riding??Ive never seen a swing bike attached like that.It makes it look so much sturdier.
So.....yes, right?
