"You call the canary Richelieu because you always wanted a cardinal".
If you get that reference you should win a prize. I think that's just a working title for now, I've got no idea what to call the thing yet.
Gonna' borrow from the same principles as last year, My frame just fell into my garage from the scrap bin. Also I'm keeping it cheap, no $400 wheel sets here. I'm scavenging parts from several bikes, most of which see little road time anymore.
Good news is I have a nice, normal canti Murray this time around, it may well have been one of the last to come out of Lawrenceburg, a town I lived in for 4 years back in the early '70's.
I'm doin' the fat rear whitewall, skinny blackwall tire combo I've been itchin' to try and some type of springer fork.
3spd coaster brake with click-stick shifter, I might cut it down. Skiptooth drive.
I'll be using a spaceliner rack and adding some kind of lite to it, don't know what yet.
And it's gonna' be PURPLE, I've been waiting to do a purple bike, but it's tough to keep it from pegging the needle on the ol' gayometer. I'm thinkin' maybe a blue clearcoat over it to get it dark, I'll have to experiment.
Here's some of the parts, still got more bikes to strip.
