I'm done for now...
I'm always adjusting this and changing that on all my bikes. If I can score a better shifter I will but it's a functioning shifter and first and second feel good rolling. There's nothing iffy on it, which is unusual for me. I'm in love with the stretched bars, it's a comfy cruiser for my size. Remember this is originally a 24" frame, and at 6 foot, most 24" frames are ridiculous for me to even sit on let alone ride. So a tall laid back seatpost puts me far enough back to pedal easily and the bars reach back for the cruise to be comfortable. The coaster makes it stop easy with no issues while 3 speed gets me rolling with a stout third gear. Tyranny because it's a Silver King and Mutation because I ratted it my style. Shown here in second gear...

This bike FRAME will be going up for sale soon.
I hate a couple things about it even though it's a very fine example of a '36 Silver King. It's really a 24" frame and it's just too small for me to ride comfortably even though 26" wheels fit in it. The extended seatpost isn't working for me and will be scrapped. The bars did turn out and will be reused along with the stem, forks are cool and the seat is going back on my Harlequin. Which leaves me with the FRAME which I purchased for a certain small amount and I will pass the savings on.

Not yet. I've only put a couple posts out there, but it's not in any sale threads yet...
I'm a little sad because I love they way these bikes look. But I ride my bikes and if it ain't comfy I can't justify hanging on to an 82 year old frame that is in restorable shape.
