Big faker..

[Boardtrack fan]

I bought this at the Saline show this year. After some studying I think it is a early 1900s Peerless. Upon closer inspection I found that the wheels and chain that came with it did not fit. The axle on the rear wheel was to large a diameter for the drop-out and the 1" pitch chain did not fit the front sprocket (block chain maybe?). Not a big deal, I can use the parts on other projects. So, I added a set of 28" wheels from a English bike, a stem from a Evans I briefly owned and some bars I got from the Flying Dingo.

sh*t, cool bike, i think that handlebars and rims were original, new handlebars are good but the older one was better, im looking for handlebars like that, but can not find any, originals are really expensive
