I'm going with this 24" Western Flyer. I don't like the spray paint job someone did on it, so I'm going to try and remove JUST that and use the original color ( red ). I chose a 24" because I thought a smaller frame would make the B.O.B. look even BIGGER!

This is the first build off I'm entering where I don't have a "plan." I don't even know what bike I'm using yet. All I know is that I need a "grocery getter," so I'm building around this big ol' basket. I probably won't make much progress for another couple weeks, though.

I'm building around this...

I was a DNF last year; I must redeem myself.

"Serendipitous Rendezvous" is a great name for a bike, OJ!

Some progress…

I know!!! I’m limping toward the finish line. There will be a “load of compromising but entirely not intended. I’ll have a rider by submission time, but I had some ideas that are not getting put on the bike.

Wait... You finished!?

Wheelset . Probably the least fun thing about rebuilding bikes is the cleaning and re-greasing hubs. BUT! It must be done

I made a move. Maybe another later today.

Sounds good OJ!

Not much work going here YET. I did manage to get it disassembled and cleaned. Paint not in as good shape as I hoped, but I’m still leaving it as is.

“America’s Roller Coast!”

Sorcery

Well-played, Jude, well played. Lol

I bought this bike a few years ago on the pretense that it once belonged to Tommy Callahan... Kind of like Jo(h)n Voight's Chrysler LeBaron.

You know it! But... I'll be where the lights are shining on me;)

Out of the Corral! 1975 Schwinn Collegiate. I have a thing for the "camelback" frames (my fourth build using one). I really like the look, but they're a little small, and being a "lightweight" frame, they're also limited to tires no wider than 2.1-ish. My idea is a BMX Cruiser / "Strandie."

She’s back!!
