Finally signed on my new house.  Five car garage so lots of room for the old Chevy and my bikes. And my 1930s refrigerator to keep my beverages cold!

Congratulations!   There's nothing better than a garage with a lot of room, enjoy.

That's exactly like mine! Less the motor etc.  Great to see a picture of an original.

Should have resized that last pic. I robbed it from somewhere else. Definitely shows quite a contrast of front tires from my bike to Ricks!



Great Pics!  Thanks for sharing them.

"I keep forgetting to ask you what color of blue is on the front fender you sent in the above pictures?"

That color is Medium Sapphire Blue Metallic .

Here's what it looks like outside :




Wow Pete, Your bike looks great! Really pretty color. Thanks, Tim

Agreed . Nice start . Looks like you'll be wearing down a cutting wheel or two . ;)

Pete . :)

Thanks Pete. I'm sure it's going to be a pain, but it will stock up on grinding discs before I start.

I like it!  what tires are those?

Thanks racie35,
Tires are just for moving it around, they are 26" bicycle tires. I'll have to figure out sometime what tire I'll need.

Nice start!  That thing is screaming for a GC190 motor.  That will turn that into a nice rider!


Thanks Rick. I really like the flat black one that illMattic is building with the GC 190, Sweet!

Well I finally got my "new" bike home. The first thing I did was to take the bicycle fenders off and put on a pair that I bought from our Simplex Brother dw1973 and put a tube in the back tire. The motor that is on it is a cast iron block of some manufacture unknown that is welded to some angle iron motor mounts and they are welded to the frame, nice! Right now I'm thinking, if I don't come across an original motor, I'll do a Honda GC 190 motor. I hope the new photos will help to see the parts that are correct or are not to be on my bike.
Thanks, Tim
