silver haze

[BillyOlds]

building a bike for my chick, started with an almost scrapped jc penny, a good friend with a bike shop, and some parts that ive collected. Also will be the first project of any kind at my new home, a wharehouse in downtown clearwater.

purple walls

took the jc penny journals and cut them down, put the schwinn cups in the freezer and pressed them, came out pretty good

Dont know if im going to use the fenders, but we'll see.

Should have it finished here real soon so she can cruise!

Kreep ur all paid up sucka and seriously big thanks. I think we need to start exporting stuff to england tho, that's where the real money is! Getting back to work now

Kreep,
If your trying to get rid of old parts pm me. Always looking to save what I can from the junkyards. I am in Tampa.

 

[BillyOlds]

Gratter, kreeps parts are plentiful, it would be worth the drive if you interested/need anything for a build. I just scored a buncha stuff from his garbage can today, let alone some sweet stuff he helped me out with. Also if you ever come this way well all have to go for a roll.

Purple walls?, now that's a first for me! Cool looking so far.

 

[BillyOlds]

Outskirt,
The purp walls seem to be holding up fairly well, I had to replace the tube a few times...whoops...and its not perfect looking but sitting on the bike u'd never notice.

Got the crank in tonight and the chainline is off, SOB

 

[Kreep]

Swing by with the bike.i'll show ya how to fix the chainline.

What kind/color silver paint did you use to paint the frame?

The bike looks pretty cool.

 

[Rustinkerer]

Cool builld! I believe that's a '60s Westfield/Columbia built frame. -Adam

 

[BillyOlds]

The paint is from ace hardware and is called "now" I've never heard or used it before but it was cheap and came out pretty good. The color was "aluminum"

Went over to kreeps today and got the chainline figured out and came home and got the hub linkage working, the bike is fun to ride, I'm a litle heavy for hairpin springs but I think my chic will enjoy it. Painting the chain gaurd and getting the lettering figured out next.

As far as the frame, I have not a clue, there's two sets of stamped serial numbers on top of each other on the dropout, but its a total mix match of generations for sure and the bike was headed for the scrap yard not so long ago.
