I’ve been told 3G, but I haven’t been able to find any pictures of another frame with such a large rear dropout.

Wait, what.......he's another local? Didn't realize that there are that many people around here

Excellent work. Not your everyday "Garden" variety bike. The RAKE really made this a true chopper. And the SHOVEL made it a rat. And the American flag, well that just makes it AWESOME!!!

Mom did a killer job saving that Elgin for you too! Whatever you do, don't paint that one. That is some gorgeous original paint. Even has the high end Stewart Warner Floating Hub up front.

What they said, that's the whole nine yards man. Glad your mom was paying attention

I just spent a minute looking for a literal garden implement rake before I realized what you meant.
There's a hammer and a shovel, why not a rake??

*Then spent another 30 seconds after writing and before posting to double check there wasn't a rake

He may still have a true rake planned. There isn't going to be anything left to put in the new she shed.
