Re: Sportliner Redux (again)
Of course, every time I think this bike is finished....
After I posted these pics, I was checking out ebay and found one more thing that absolutely has to go on the bike.
More pics next week.

Re: Sportliner Redux (again)
A little on how it reached this stage...
Genesis...
The original build; old Flightliner, Metal Specks paint, Chinese springer, mountain bike seat and bars:
Added chainguard and blanket covered English seat (shown with my wife's Higgins)
Got these wheels for a tandem build (still hasn't happened); sitting in the garage looking at the wheels, looking at the Higgins, looking at the wheels...you know what happened.
The bell is a souvenir from a trip to Florida, found in a toy store at Seaside (BTW, someone HAS to organize a vintage bike show at Seaside, FL; it's too cool), the Felt Ergo handlebars are a souvenir of the motorcycle ride back, wherein I crashed the bike, messed up my arm, and can't reach the low bars anymore.

It is a cool bike, for sure!
Love that bell!
