Thanks, its a heavy beast, but the 3spd helps a ton. It gets some looks for sure.

Heh! its bare metal no ?
no paint, no plating:
Not a complete bike yet but yet another SK since I sold the Hot Rod King.
This ones not gonna get the spit shine though. A little cleaning and run it how it is as that is original paint/dye on the tubes. At least what's left of it. Have some black 26x50mm Hbbc wheels begging to go on. Maybe some green tires.

I did this for the build off nine. I think it is a 48 Roadmaster with a 56 briggs engine. I am going to start a Worksman next, bare metal frame as well. The frame is black now which I would thought would work for me but the bare metal is the way to go. I love the brazed joint look.
My BO9 entry King Bee. I'm still puttin' on the miles and thinking of a few changes just down the road.

...and down the road has begun. Resulting in two baremetal springer builds and a third to complete the set.

I don't normally use a lot of Felt Parts when I build a Felt. I bought a Felt Slater used. I put back everything but the chain ring, shifter, tires and grips.
So I finally went outside and took some pics of this thing. I fell off my bike a few weeks ago and onto my head. Don't expect flawless grammar out of me. I'm a heavy dude. I fell on my head.
