today we have my WBO bike 1953 Shelby. its mostly Shelby with a Monark rear fender and a Dayton front w/Roadmaster fender braces. it has a nexus 3spd laced into original paint wheels wrapped in Hank slicks. some pretty nifty striping work also!

Great bike(sonic reducer for those who didn't see the original post) and named after a great bands song.its finally sunny again so I guess I`ll update this old forgotten thread.I`m gonna start with the big red Firebike that ive owned since 2008. I freshened it up a couple months ago by chopping another 1-1/4" off of the forks,adding the 80mm 2spd wheel set,different headlight,2 new chains and some yummy Thompson red metalflake grips.
I got my devil machine. Got my electronic dream!
next up is my BO9 bike that is based on a `41 Hawthorne American mated to a gen2 monark repop springer. I love the lines on this frame as it has a motorbike style straight downtube that kicks in before the bottom bracket. very roomy and comfortable! vintage drivetrain running back to a nexus7 laced 57mm wheel,brooks seat and no frills whatsoever.
