Thanks, I like the way the front curve of the guard somewhat mirrors the rear looptail curve of the frame.
The bike is a Hawthorne Air-Flow which is basically a Monark Silver King Flo-Cycle with a different headtube casting.

I also picked up this cool old Japanese made tin toy car. Looks like it is based on a 1955 Pontiac Star Chief

Road to Charleston after work tonight to pick up a deal on a PHAT chopper that had a Nexus 7 roller brake wheelset. I couldn't believe that another seller still had a Girvin fork too. It was bargain priced for the past 2 months and no one has picked it up. Well worth the 5 hour round trip. The wheelset is purple to match the frame.

I already did a Beehive Girvin on starsNbars.
Maybe I'll make a Monark Girvin out of this one.

Scored a 1946/7 Rollfast Whizzer today!!!! The one that almost got away!
Rolled up on it at a yard sale with a SOLD sign. Got the number of the buyer and a couple of hours later it was mine. It even has the original bill of sale, an original photo, an original engine manual, and a 1949 Popular Science magazine and ad.
TRADED

Got this nice dropstand a few days ago.
UPDATE. (one week later) - Drove about 2 hours North and traded the Whizzer for these two original paint beauties.

Got a text just before lunch from a guy that I bought the Murray tanker from a few months back. He wanted to thin the heard a little more and gave me first shot before CL.
Got this sweet Elgin curved seattube with fenders and wrong fork.
And this Rollfast chrome middleweight tanklight bike. He grew up around the corner from the Snyder plant

Got this cool Thudbuster seat post from @yoothgeye along with a seatpost clamp that I needed for my Ruff Dean frame. I will probably end up shortening the post a little due to the curved seat tube. Check out the cool Wald Repair Tags too.

Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
Been doing a search for building a king & queen seat, and I find this pic.Re: Kingfish254's Finds 3/24 King Queen Chopper Seat
Went to visit my Mom in Western NC this weekend and came back with this jewel from a roadside stop.
Very cool.
I still have that tucked away somewhere. It's pretty large but could work on a cool trike build.
(USED ON POKE CHOPPA)
(THEN TRADED)

Got these beat up but cool Crank Brothers 5050 pedals locally over the holidays.
Got this olive wood juicer in the Rothenburg, Germany Christmas Market. I'll use it as a shifter someday.
