Looking at the seat clamp on the cwc, my guess is it is post war but the straight chain stays and down tube scream prewar. Many post war cwc frames had rear facing dropouts even as late as the mid 50’s. Both are cool but the cwc is not one I have seen before and cooler with the straight down tube.

‘56 Hornet a few days ago.

I used to travel to the USA every year for work and on every return trip I brought back parts for my race car or the 2 mustangs I restored. You could import up to $1000 of goods before you were slugged gst and duty. As such I always declared something made of wood and more often than not asked...

Would you believe the guy who sold me this frame got it out of Canada? Why can’t you get them across the border? I thought only Australia had draconian customs regulations.

‘39 Speed King

Update. 3” extended longhorn bars fitted this week. I first tried them 4” longer and decided they were too long so I shortened them by 1”.

Looking good KF. Great frame. Those Murray built frames are really solid, way heavier than say a typical Schwinn frame. I think it would takes some heat to dimple the chain stays

Looking awesome.

Marketplace buy cruiser 1 for around $100. 2 days later and a heap of parts from my arsenal. Awesome rider and fast with a 2 speed Sturmey Archer kickback hub.

Welcome.

I picked up this Electra cruiser 1 last night on marketplace for the cost of a couple of slabs of beer. A lady won it in a raffle and her husband wasn’t interested. I got it home, pumped up the tires and went for a spin around the block. I was surprised how easy it was to ride and even more...
