Double L's Steel Crank'n Vintage Rustorations
LOVE THOSE TWIN-BARS! I was also fortunate to get my hands on one that was sitting against the backside of an old barn for the past fifty some years. Better yet, the old man that had it was the original buyer and he raced it in his youth. "Trader Jack" Maxwell, of Anderson, In. It is the one pictured to the left. I regret putting the original red paint n it now. It had a beautiful natural rust patina. Luckily I photographed it after getting it to roll and ride....still in its natural state. Really appreciate the before pictures more than ever now. Best of luck with it! Springer will look good...When found and purchased for $20.00 two years ago it was the frame, crank housing shroud, orig crank and sprocket, seat post, fork, neck and handlebars...with one grip. Also had the rear hub still in place with nothing but a few rusty spokes...no rim. The hub had his original racing 7-tooth (skip-tooth) drive on it. It was raced on a 1/2 mile dirt horse track here in my hometown in the late forties into the fifties. Interesting old man that had it.
