Very cool! I was looking at these on Ebay a few weeks ago, and thinking of a similar build. Nice job - 8)

You can put a nice patina on that brass by mixing some Miracle Gro and vinegar in a pan and heating it up. Drop the brass in for about 45 minutes to an hour. Check it frequently for the desired patina. I did that with my Crane bell which is also stem mounted. Looks great. Instant aging!

Here is an early "spy photo" of my Pigeon build. I have a set of 28 x 1-1/2 rims that was looking for a project, and the price was right. I love a truss roadster, but can't afford an Iver-Johnson.

Waiting on hubs and tires... and some really long spokes!

Great! Keep me posted on the progress. I love mine!
