Silver King Hex Tube build

[kensmurray]

I went for my first ride last night, it was great. A little tricky making a sharp turn with the handle bars so low, but it works.
I went with a kick back hub, because I wanted to keep the look simple, I didn't want any cables to take away from the look of the bike.
Thanks Again for all the great comments.

That hex bar is a thing of beauty.

True That!... The polish job is amazing bike is amazing.

Also are both the Mustangs yours?

If you need more room, Flip that seat clamp around and gain about 2" more reach for the bars.
Cool bike, a Silverking is at the top of my wish list.

Does anyone know what the weight limit is for a hex tube? I'd hang it on the wall and admire it before taking a chance of breaking it.
I weight 200 lbs.

Made a few changes to the Hex Tube, vintage red seat and grips. To match the red details on the head tube.

I finally found a pair of prewar style teardrop peddles for Hex.

I did a little updating on the Silver King.

Installed the correct chain ring, went to a full size front tire, flipped the handle bars over.

Picked up a Torrington alloy stem.

I'm learning more and more on here all the time. That bike is really cool and so is annoying the purists.

Looks great! I like the bars better like this. Have you thought about painting the accents red on the stem?
