Man, you've built five bikes in the time it's taken me to build half of one :lol: . I don't remember seeing the yellow one but I think it might be my new favorite. Those are some clean machines!
Wow. Very nice buncho bikes. Which one do I get to ride when I come visit my Uncle?
Yeah mark I built it a while back and it lives on my wall. Its one of my favorites being a Elgin and all so I thought I would add it to the mix.

Man I dont know Maddog, I like all of them. Its going to be really hard to sell one. I may wind up like the guy at chestnut hollow and tell you they are all for sale at some real high price where you wont buy one. :shock:

For some reason I'm in neutral Clancy . I still need to finish the lime green one everybody hates and I really havent got the urge. The wife just came home from the store with a new load of Twinkies and Ding Dongs so a couple days on the couch watching westerns may be in order.
We may have painting weather here this weekend but my "Twinkie Western" addiction happens to be skiing. So not paint for my Elgin, but I did by the paint the other day.Uncle Stretch said:The wife just came home from the store with a new load of Twinkies and Ding Dongs so a couple days on the couch watching westerns may be in order.
Well Clancy ,buying paint is the first step in the road to recovery :wink:
great bunch of bikes,as usual! :mrgreen: but the hawthorne is still my favorite. the bike is pure eye candy! 8) downloaded some of the pics,for reference,for when i get around to doing my hawthorne! :wink:
TAKE COVER EVERYONE, ITS A TEXAS LONGHORN STAMPEDE!
So much for hibernating through the winter, like some of us. Great job. Cant wait to see you build a real rat bike, you know something with a little rust , I mean patina, on it. But first, eat a twinkie, watch a western, then get back at it, you're burnin daylight.

Thats funny ,I spent several hours with the oven cleaner ,on my latest roadmaster frame. I got it down to an about 80% original paint. I took it to my shop and shot about 5 coats of clear on it and stood back and looked......Whatever that is inside me ...wont let me have anything that has rust or paint missing. I will depatinaize it and come up with some cool color. I hate that I cant leave one ah la natural ,but it just dosent work for me.
wow!!! you need to be my neighbor stretch. all very, very nice but i especially like that yellow cruiser. don't know why, but i really do. what is that? hawthorne, monarch or?
Hey thanks . Its a prewar Elgin. Its the one that lives on the wall in my house. I did a three color dart scheme on that one and it helped alot. :wink:
oh man those are great.
