New member, saved an Uncle Stretch from a scrap pile...

That is like winning the lottery, finding an Uncle Stretch in the wild!

Good to see you around still @Uncle Stretch!

The video no longer works, but there is a thumbnail of UncleStretch riding the bike.

Very cool find, thanks for sharing!

@bckwoodz , you should definitely check back with the guy you got "Anuthern" from.

Here is the "Can't Wait" build that @Uncle Stretch says that the same guy had.

I just got off the phone with the guy and he confirmed that no other bikes were in the unit with Anuthern, but I can't stop staring at Can't Wait, what a ride, goodness...

Dillon got it from me and he ran the vape place here and was moved back to Dallas to run it there where they had the main office. Guess when it folded he lost his job and maybe forgot to pay his storage. I am an old bag of bones at 72 have no need for a bike. I did keep three of my best(what I thought were) and they hang sadly in
my garage. I think of them more as artwork and probably will never sell them. There are a couple more there that are just hanging around and a grill to my wifes Gladiator.

When I grow up, I want my garage to have some bikes that look like those works of art casually hanging from the ceiling

You have a good start. You managed to snag one of my better examples.

Welcome back ! As for age , I was already a senior when I joined RRB ( "do the math" ) . Eventually added electric assist conversions to my riders . A rewarding enabler with benefits.

Got a golf cart way easier to pedal

Deorman hopefully you have been doing ok. Been a long time since I have
been around here. Miss all the old times.

Just an update of what it currently looks like. I ride this bike regularly and still love it as much as the day I got it... The next to last pic is with a 29 inch wheel and tire in the rear, it barely fit, but did not rub. Last pic was just trying different styling...

Just added the white 44 tooth cheese grater sprocket...
