Shelby-made Hiawatha.

[Sphinx]

A couple of weeks ago I got this Hiawatha. About two months ago I spotted a Shelby-made Western Flyer and started to pursue it. A deal couldn't be made til today and I just brought it home.

8) Lots of parts for the Hiawatha build, including War-Time Blackout Hubs, front and back. :wink:

Neat looking frame! :wink:

Thanks, I like it a lot. Eventually I'll need one of these tanks to take it where I want to go with it.

Here's the ShockEase Springer Fork I got from IchiBike a while back. It has been put away for the day I got a Mens Frame.

Shaping up to be a cool build. 8)

Nice score!

I was eyeballing that flyer for a while on c-list. The paint scheme matches my Hiawatha. I thought the guy wanted too much for it in the condition it was in plus had too many other projects. Good score.

He wanted $60. I offered $45 and he took it. The fenders aren't as good as I had hoped, but it does have Blackout Wartime ND hubs and that made the deal worth it. As they say on Duck Dynasty: Happy,Happy,Happy. :lol:

First time I saw it posted he wanted twice that much. Good find if I had known they were blackouts I would have been all over that.

I also have the same bike in way better condition, but carries a Shelby badge buried in the garage. I picked it up from my Neighborhood Gunshop for $30.00. They bought it from a Stonecold Alcoholic Homeless guy who wanders the alleys for junk. They very often feed him instead of giving him money, because he will just buy booze. Sad story, but no one seems to have much success helping him.

I just won an Auction for the much need tank for my Frame. As you can see, it will present a challenge to make the tank usable. I'm up for it. :roll: :shock: :wink: :lol:
