Perfect timing for the Build Off!

Got this header tank (24"). Blackhawk rack, Cadet speedo, and teacup light shell headed to me from rust_trader on the CABE

SOLD

This is a possibility for a future build. The Higgins Header tank is for a 24" frame and I think I will be able to make it work on my TSP Oldster frame sometime in the future.

I think I have an addiction

Picked up a Aluminum Electra Straight 8 today. Less rake and shorter wheelbase than the chopper finks and such. More cruiser than chopper.

Finally got the frame and fork in today. I love the fork.

If I didn't like it so much, I would have backed out of the whole deal. Two days after I paid for the package deal above, the seller sold the CWC fork to someone else for more money and only gave me a partial refund. I have never had any seller resell parts that I already owned before. Needless to say, I will never buy anything from Wheeled Relics (David Copeland) again. He fed the fork buyer and me a line of horse manure. Like I said, if I didn't really want this Indian replica fork, I would have cancelled the whole deal.


FRAME SOLD

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Sold it after you paid for it?!

 

[kingfish254]

Sold it after you paid for it?!

YES!!! Never had a seller pull that trick before.

 

[RustyGold]

Bummer on the transaction...congrats on the fork

 

[deorman]

YES!!! Never had a seller pull that trick before.

Not cool.

Is there a "buyers beware" area in the forum? A place to warn other Ratters about unscrupulous vendors? In my opinion, the dude should be blacklisted. This is on a similar level to stealing someone's bike.

 

[kingfish254]

I like the x53 springer on Western Sizzler so much, that I couldn't resist getting this one from @dogdart when he posted it up.

 

[kingfish254]

Getting this frame from Clyde James. It's a Sterling by Sentimental Bikes. Hand built in Croatia.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Looks like it was designed for a vtwin, an the bottom bracket was added afterwards!

 

[kingfish254]

Yeah, the frame definitely mimics the very early motorcycle frames. That rear end will hold up to a 100mm rim too.
