RRBO19 is in the books for Stir Crazy. I started with a 25 dollar marketplace find 1953 CWC. It was coated with heavy green house paint, missing fenders, tank and chainguard. Multiple coats of stripper, and a pile of swap meet finds later and a finished bike emerged. It rolls and rides like a dream. Work, weather and life in general delayed progress at times but here it is. Thanks for all positive comments, suggestions and advice along the way. I'm proud to be a part of this great community of bike people. Build journal here.https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/stir-crazy.119767/. Build list includes
