TRADITIONAL Master of the Road

[tanksalot]

Here , I go again another year I told myself to sit by the side lines . Even more so this year due to the shop being bizzy . But as I’ve done before I’m building this anyways so why not put it in the build off . I purchased this bike a couple of years back just as you see it . As an original bike pile of parts . I want to try to make it multi speed so here we go Master of the Road.

Have to get this stupid paint off some parts . Looks like a spill versus bad touch up . This is my new parts cabinet in the back ground .

Great to see you back in the fun. I never get tired of seeing glimpses of your toy chests/cabinets!!!
I think this was the first look at them back in BO7 twelve years ago.

One of my favorite build styles. This will be fun! Great looking frame.

Cleaning my wheel set . I decided not to use the factory wheels they have much paint lifting near the spokes.

[Uncle Shish]

Great project and those toy and parts cabinets are fun!
I’m in a similar boat as you, I was going to do something with the DX anyway, so might as well hang out with friends and see what they’re up to.

That’s a handsome ride.

Parts cabinet would make some juicy pickin’s for the old carnival claw game.

Yes it does . I had the train whistle version before . I actually prefer those Train version on this housing . I have two gun turret machine guns horns but they need to be rebuilt .
