Took A Holiday ('57)

[highwheelerboy25]

Ceebee had this for sale and I love original paint and patina so I knew I had to have. I didn;t want ceebee to know how much I wanted it so I could get it cheaper. than didn't work. I am very happy with this little guy and thanks to ceebee and all other involved in taking care of this beauty!!!

Ceebee, I stole these photos from your far sale thread and you're just going to have to deal with it.

Dang, it looks good with the rack and fenders....I should have done that!
I am the guy that built it back into a bike, if you have any questions about it just ask! Glad to see it in a good home, I liked that bike a lot.

Highwheelerboy - Super score - you beat me to it !!!
When it's time to move it onto the next owner keep me in mind

Agreed, the fenders look great on it.

I took the red grips off of it and put some matching pattern green ones on it and trued and tensioned the wheels and drilled out the broken fender bolt in the fork and retapped it and chased the threads on the front axle. Put a reflector on the rear and am still looking for a fenderlight for the front.

I found through google what I assume is a "Before" photo

For some reason the truss rods weren't lining up with the fork dropout. so I put an extra bend in the truss rod using a Volkswagen wheel as a metal roller.

Then I found out that the steer tube mount was backwards so I straightened the truss rods back out and moved the top mount to the correct position.
