A couple cross brace bars. A couple lucky seven seat posts. An orange glass reflector. A colson waterfall bracket that may be repurposed. One brass St. Christopher medallion. And a set of stainless boardtrack bars. I have a couple more pieces in transit. Enough show and tell its time to break out the tools.
I like those Saint badges.
Picked it up at Memory Lane swap meet. The brass will fit with my color scheme.

Man your ahead of me lol, I just got mine on the stand and still collecting parts!
Got it all taken apart today. I'm thinking about just leaving it bare with a little accent color and plenty of pin striping. I found a different crank set in my parts pile. Not sure what it came off of
Shelby maybe. Dont know but I think I like it better. Still waiting on a couple pieces to show up.

That frame / tank / chain guard you started with is beautiful. And, since my name is Christopher I like the St Christopher medallion. I may have to steal the idea, hunt one down and incorporate it somewhere in my build.
I got a killer set of pedals in the mail today. You can't call something Rollin Bones without some dice involved. I set of matcing valve caps will carry the theme out. A couple more pieces in transit and i can start putting this together.
Holy 'craps' those dice pedals are cool! Rollin' bones indeed!
Roll on, RaT oN~!
Roll on, RaT oN~!
I don't know if I would trust those pedals. They sure look dicey to me! 
I'm a gambling man. I'll roll the dice.I don't know if I would trust those pedals. They sure look dicey to me!
He's Mr. Christopher now. Got demoted.
A little jewelry came in the mail today. Picked this up off the cabe last week. My favorite springer. I will get every thing mocked up later this week. It was already bare metal and matches the frame well.
Learn something new every day. Just googled it and you're right.
Can't go wrong with those durante springers. They are so well made and way cooler then the knee action Schwinnies.
Never used one but always liked the look. I've got to order more brass hardware and the pivot bolt is a little to long to tighten down. A little trim job and it should be fine.
Hey marshall, that fork is in really good shape! Way better than the one I have on my Shelby.
I have noticed that my 'pivot bolt' seems longer than it needs to be as well. I wonder if that is part of the design?
Looking forward to seeing you put this build together. RaT oN~!
I thought maybe there were spacers in there that were missing. But with yours also loose kinda makes me wonder.
Troxell seat in bare metal. I think i will use this one. A little pin stripping will make it right. I also have this same seat with the leather that i can change out for longer rides. One for show one to go.
