The Evans Drag-On Sonic Scout--done!

[Black Top Roller]

Its been a long five weeks getting this old girl back up and running in time for the build off.I took her down to the Chesire Farmington Canal Greenway rail trail for some photos and to give a trial shortie ride.She ran excellent with the exception of forgetting my allen wrenches so I couldn't readjust the seatpost and the the gearing I selected is a little stiff,no biggie with the Sturmey Archer hubs.When I get the chance I'll swap the 16 tooth on the back for an 18 and she'll be a nice comfy fast cruiser..Hope you guys like the Drag-On,enjoy the pics:

Can't beat that classic Hurst shifter, drag on! See you at the track.

Nice work and nice colors. The Hust shifter fits your theme quite well (my favorite part)!

that rack. oh and that shifter <3

Wanted to lower the rack as was your suggestion but that big mo tire was just way to tall and ended up doing the "fill in" on the rack at least.I lowered the rack on the Torpedo looks great

Darn,if only I had the available parts to finish the wheelie bar,looks like I'll have to "soft" launch her in second gear off the tree!!

Thanks very much guys,all of us know how much work can go into "its just a bike".Just a little tweaking and she'll be ready for some real miles!I really appreciate your interest and comments

Motherless child??Jeff you BBer,then of course you might be right because I'v heard some people mutter under their breath and slightly outta earshot its not his fault he was "hatched something something".Gonna have to tighten up that buzz cut with a Big Ol BUZZ SAW with a rusty chain

Thanks for the comps guys,gonna have this bike flying this weekend with the gear ratio change.I try to build em for real miles,hope I'm correct.If anything breaks I can always fly home
