Thank you. It was fun to build. My daughter wants a coca cola rack on her 47 JC Higgins Color Flow after seeing my root beer crate.

Got the bike as finished as I can get it before the deadline. I still need an inner seat pan to get the seat looking better. Pretty happy with it overall. Build Thread Here

I finally got the bat finished. It was originally a yellow color Willie McCovey model I found. It was pretty rough. I sanded it down and put a few layers of stain on it. Also, made the leather strap to hold the bat to the handlebars. I lowered the light as well. I may switch the light out. Not...

Got some baseball cards and clothespin ready. Waiting for a small pennant to come in the mail. I have some other accessories as well and will reveal them when the bike is finished. I found these reprint baseball cards on eBay for $2.00 shipped.

Looking for a reflector for my 1947 J.C. Higgins woman's Color Flow. Thanks

Really like the lines on this. Probably my favorite stretch bike I have seen.

I was actually thinking the same thing about moving the light below the handlebars. I had bent the light bracket but didn't get the desired effect.

I ended up putting the bat holder on the front wheel. I plan to use a small leather strap and buckle to secure the bat to the handle bar. I need to finish staining the bat to get the right look I want. I made an "L" shaped bracket to hold the can and support the weight of the bat. Still need to...

I definitely like the header idea. Maybe move them to the frame somehow?

Build is looking great so far. Can't wait to see the final product.

I have been thinking about this movie while I am building the bike. Need to watch the movie again. Maybe get some more inspiration.

Got the bike cleaned up and serviced. Added the new rear rack and root beer crate. I also lowered the front light and painted the seat pan in primer. I was lucky and found a set of Electra Cruiser tires at the LBS. I may switch to red brick tires thou. Not sure yet. I found this can recently...

I'm throwing my hat in the ring with a 1953 Monark Rocket. My plan is to create a bike that a young boy would have made to haul his baseball gear to the baseball diamond. I am going to add a different rear rack and soda crate to haul baseballs and gloves. I plan to recover the seat with leather...

He has two sets of fenders for me but can't make it this weekend. Meeting up with 66olds98 in tri-cities, wa instead to get some wheels. Hope somebody gets to go and take pics.

Chainring definitly looks Elgin to me.

Here is a pic of my wife's Felt Claire. Gets looks everywhere we go. Here it is next to my Zep,

Here is a pic of my 1937 Hawthorne Zep. Fork, truss rods, and handlebars are orginal to the bike. I put some Felt rims with Bontrager Hank tires on it. I had the stubby fender pinstripped by our own Karfer67.

Icyuod2 - The pic of the blue dragster you posted was originally built by a buddy of mine who lives 3 houses over. The car was named "Sour Sisters". Used to race the car back in the 60's against Garlits, Ivo, and Prudhomme. Ran an Olds Rocket motor. Cool see a pic of the car.

you guys are probably going to kill me. I pay $25 for a frame, fork, fenders, and chainguard to be powder-coated. There is a local business that makes roto tillers and they also do work for hobby guys. Real nice guys and quick turn around. I sand blast the bikes myself so that saves me money too.
