I'm quickly developing an unhealthy obsession with your builds........
~1939-1940 Alexander Rocket:
What kind of headlights are they?
That's a Seiss Trio: Vibradisc horn and streamline lights.
Cool Alexander bike...very different and functional looking frame with all the right stuff, very different from your others. Still my favorite is your trusty rusty. ...it inspires me to build another bike I have no room for. Rust never sleeps..(unless linseed oiled!)
Yeah, the Rocket bikes are really cool and interesting. There aren't many of them, and no 2 are the same. It was nice to have all the high-$ goodies on the bike for a while, but I like the way it looks better stripped down.
For being so weathered Leave it Be (the bicycle formerly known as Trusty Rusty) is an amazingly smooth rider and remains at the bottom of the "can go" list.

BM..I have been looking for forever for those black grips in the last photo. I am missing one on my all-original 30's Gamble Stores Eagle. Are they repro's? If so, where did you find them? skpc
these are reproductions from rideahiggins on The CABE
They are not exactly the same, but are close. I'll check it out... Thanks!
