had the sissy bar leaned back before I tried the seat,kinda like it as a redundent add on
I like the raw metal feel to this bike

so this seat I bought for $18.50 arrived today,think it may suit this build instead of the B seat
no brand name which is unusual as this seat is leather and well made

Cool seat!
I am pretty sure it originally would have had a name plate riveted on the back between those two holes.

yer thats my guess too,I second guessed as the tiny rivets arn't loose from it coming off unless the badge had a couple of pins that went through the rivet holes and were star nutted or something from the under side,anyway its a way cool seat
chucked it together to see what it looks like,I like both positions of the cruiser bars and will have to see what apes will look like
bars up
seat suits,matching rust

I love that drop! I'm not a huge fan of the modern stretch frame this design keeps the traditional frame lines. Great job!

Thanx,I tried the sissy bar but looked out of place with all the curves,then thought about making a curved sissy bar to match but then the B seat position didn't look right,that's when my seat arrived in the mail,destiny I guess,looks just right

When I bought No.9 off Glen it had a shifter for the front deraileur,this came off as I done it as single speed,the rust on it was so close to Inthe weeds that I have started to play around with it on this frame,plus found an old cable stop that matches too
pool ball time?

looks tough sitting that low. will need some really short cranks though
thanx,I will be getting another BB and welding it somewhere around the downtube area,just have to sort brake/gears after that and she be done
found out the seat was made by Middlemore,England,read some interesting history on the company
scored a couple of exercise bike main bodies so now I have a bottom bracket that can be cut off the main body and welded to the frame saving the hassle of cutting up another frame
BB not sorted yet,but scored a cool handlebar off a friend that I think looks cool on it,and I think will stay on,picture soon
raining outside so quick photos for now
yer I got them from my friend that restores 80's bmx's he bought a really old 70's bmx for the newer Araya wheels that were on it,the bar was original to that so they are 70's bmx bars from unknown frame
cut up the BB from an exercycle today so soon will do some grinding and test fit,then off to hotrod shop for welding
