Gas Money

Looks really good man! The bars and chainring compliment the frame and forks real well.

A classic type of front tire, which were so common but which I hardly see here these days, except on old bikes. Are they still available new in Canada?

No those tires are off a gazelle 1960. You can still buy that style new in India.

Lol the secret theme of this build has been revealed... I'm trying to build this bike using as much of Ingola's backyard stash as I can take! There may be a quiz at the end of the build where you try to identify what parts are mine. So far I think I have provided 3 pieces, pretty sure they were liberated from another guy's junk pile. As of now, it's still pretty much just Gas Money

Just remember if something is missing now we're digging

Really nice Camel Back Matt, can't wait to see it finished!

I'm Rat Rodding a early Raleigh Colt Camel Back ... so seeking tips on your bulidup.

Raleigh Colt Camel Back

Those are really nice frames. I believe Raleigh used unusual specs for their bikes, so keep as much of the original parts and hardware, swapping stuff out will be challenging. @ingola is a bit of a Raleigh historian, happens to have a Colt or two, once you start posting about yours, he'll have tons of information and guidance

Yippee skippy, it's Saturday, the sun is shining, ten degrees above freezing, the chore list is short enough to ignore. Perfect day for linseed oil! Appropriate for the Canadian theme, I cut up some vintage Canadian rags

back in the 90s, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation put out a show that strove to teach the kids how to be smart with their money. Did I mention how much I've spent so far?

I gots the street sense, I know what street I live on

PS I think I've scratched the lens of my phone camera. All my pics are blurred and the eye is having difficulty focusing. Do these look okay?

 

[ingola]

That blue really came to life.

 

[Son of Kradus]

its quite cold where you are ATM, sometimes if the phones warm in your pocket or whatever and you take it outside you can get a slight condensation buildup inside the lense itself. sometimes that is, but yes the pics are not as good as others youve posted!

Nice work with the linseed oil to bring some shine to that blue. I’m glad you didn’t paint it.

Little CCM history seem to fit here.

Those bars are gorgeous, I like how the curve matches the bend in his spine. I hope I can ride drop bars

I have that stem if you want it

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I'm going to throw it together someday soon to see how things fit. I'll pick stem based on what I think it needs at that point
