Kidding aside, you gotta tank it! From what we've seen in the past, you can make a BETTER tank then the original.
let me know when you want those parts buddy and i agree it needs a tank

The bike looks awesome with the wooden 28's I think you should make your own bars with welded on extensions, like the old boardtrackers did. Just my opinion.
i actually was going to but then adapt beat me to it so on the the usual :roll:

well i guess id better post something new huh.........
after many hours of fighting with a tire(its solid... dont think it came easy :lol: )finally figured out an easy way to mount the stinking things(think cable ties,ratchet strap, and tree) and heres the end result.......
oh another bit of advice........dont try to change the angle on a solid prewar seat post with a 6' cheater bar...............they make a huge SNAP!! good thing ive got a welder :lol:

Sensor- The bike is coming out nice. You will have to let me know exactly how you got your tires on as I am about to buy some for my 28" Rollfast. Also, where did you buy your tires from? I was thinking about getting the 28" grey sewn tires from memory-lane.com.
i got mine from universal tires
the sew up tires i know nothing about but heres how the solids go on........
first leave the tires out in the sun for a couple of hours...
do your glue according to the package(got mine from memorylane)...
then set half of you tire by hand...
zip tie what you have on so it wont pop off(use the heavy ones)...
take a tie down strap(or ratchet strap or what ever you want to call them) slide it under the tire between the rim and wrap around a tree or post pull on the wheel and roll the tire over the wheel...
proceed to the next one and let sit for a day before riding on them...
it sounds like a pain but it took all of 15 minutes for both :shock:

The bike looks great! I'm getting inspired by this to do something with my Elgin frame and fork. Did you try really hot water on the tires? Thats what we used on the smaller solid tires for kids bikes. Might be kinda hard to find the right size container for the tire/water combo.
your bike is awsome buddy but i gotta ask you one thing. i keep seeing that car stand durring this build does this mean that is your kickstand and if so isnt that going to be kinda heavy when your pedaling around on second sat rides?
