i got this old evans frame from dogdart,about a week ago, and started playing around with it. very unusual cantilever design going on here. the largest rear stay openings ive come across,combined with a shortish 15" seat tube! :shock: got some more tweaking to be done and ive got a old red vintage tractor light that was made for this baby! 8)

jeff, remember when i told you that all my builds from now on, have to have a part from you, for good luck? :lol: well, that rear fender is the leftover colorflow front fender that you gave me. just been chopped,stripped and widened, to hug that huge tire. 8)

Whats this rear tire?Very cool.
the rear tire is a boa-g, from 3G bicycles. they list it as being a 26x3.45, but it really measures out closer to a 26x3.0! :lol: just wish it didnt have all the reflective lettering, but at least its not a flame tread tire.
 
Re: the buzzard

after doing a little research, i believe that this bike started life as an evans matador. pretty bland looking bike, but it looks like it might have had rain gutter style fenders.hard to tell from pic,though. if anybody has any info on this creature,it would be appreciated! :)

there was one square fender sill on it when I got it , but I'm using it on my Colson Gasser bike . Here's a pic of the seat that was on it , it has little Evans symbols on it .
