[The Black Monark]

thanks bud!
Frame and fork were painted way back by Brian Baylis. Had the dropouts chrome plated, used some NOS decals, not for Conti, but look cool anyway, IMO.
Sturmey drum, Sachs 2spd kicker, every time I look at the wheels I want to rebuild them with some double-butted spokes tho...those straight 14g look like sticks!
Fun bike.

 

[heartlandcruisers]

i agree the decals look sweet its an awesome bike
the spokes give it that fast look though they work nicely on the bike

[Missing Link]

Here's mine, we're a one car family so rain or shine I'm doing at least 8 miles daily on a bike who's frame is 75 years old.



It's a 1937 Hawthorne frame, bare metal and WD40, with a Schwinn springer with the trusses welded to the legs and a cross brace/ light bracket pinned to the trusses. The rear wheel is an Electra single speed coaster, the front is an alloy rim laced to a Keyin quick release hub. Due to the fact that I'm going from street to WPA project sidewalks to trails I'm running a MTB tire on the rear with a road tire up front both 26x2.125. The headlight is a '50's tractor light converted to LEDs, the taillight is a Bell spider with a custom built mount for the swap meet find rack's support leg. The stem is an aluminum road model I got in a box of parts, the bars are generic straight MTB bars bobbed to 21" with Kult Vans grips. The seat is a '70's Freccia D'oro, molded plastic model.
I've kind of cobbled this thing together from a hodgepodge of parts, it's one of a kind to say the least. I work at the University of North Texas and my job has me riding all over campus daily, I get compliments, stares, and questions constantly and I never have a hard time finding it at the overflowing bike racks.

My daily commuter/delivery bike:
66 tooth ring and carbon wheels.

 

[arigatoXman]

Got a 60s Phillips female frame. I have a thing for female frames, despite me being a guy. Nothing wrong with that. (They're also hella cheaper) It's a three speed.

 

[Slow-Rider]

I have built a couple mostly road bikes or fix gear. but to many try to steal them. so now I use this. worst that happens they jack my bike seat some times.
