THΣ NATI∇Σ AMΣRICAN (DONE/FINISHED SECTION)

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

Well, It's build off time again!
I haven't collected many parts this year for the build, but I do have a pretty nice Higgins tanker Dad bought off the Cherokee Native American reservation! He ran across a older Cherokee man selling two old bicycles so he stops. One a Sonic Flyer and the other being this J.C. Higgins. After a few minutes of talking he ends up buying this and bring it home to me. Since this bike arrived at the bicycle shop in Cherokee 60 years ago it has not left the reservation.

Recently I launched an online bicycle business by the name of American Vintage Bicycle Supply. We focus on getting barn fresh bicycles out on the market as soon as they are found.

Hopefully if everything goes as planned, This bike will become mobile advertisement for the business!

Woah now! That is how the bike currently sits! I haven't started building yet!

The set of Nos Allstate tires that are sitting in the garage may have a good chance of finding their way onto this build!

My girlfriend picked up this hilarious drawing on the west coast. It's by an American Indian man, looks like an old Luxury Liner but he portrayed it as the "Iron Pony". Next time I am at her place I will take a pic of it to post.

That means we can have a fender light sub build off because I'm trying to do the same thing.

I was thinking open mouth skull with a light inside and a head dress to go on top?
