A couple weeks ago I acquired a Gamble's Hiawatha frame, tank, and chainguard from the RR for sale section...
It's been stripped down and painted black. It spent some time with a chemical stripper.
I acquired some shelby part from a ladies bike. Fenders, rack, fork and truss, shelby sprocket, bars and neck. They seem to be from a later bike but should work fine.
The Fenders spent some time in the OA bath and didn't turn out too bad. Still rough but I like them. I found some spray paint that I thought would match the Fenders and rack and painted up the frame.
How it its this evening...
I need to thread another inch of the fork but my die doesn't want to thread onto it. Maybe the old forks were a different pitch? I'll figure it out.
More to come...
