My wife, daughter and granddaughter will be assisting with this calamity. We are still debating and deciding what parts to incorporate into the build. More photos as we pro-gress!

This should be some GI-NORMOUS FUN!!

the basket is awesome the way it is! I have never heard of a Peerless but it looked like a cool project bike anyway. Theres no telling with all the individual ideas combined just how it will turn out.

Great having the family help! My son keeps asking to help, but I'm working too slow to keep him interested. :D

The fenders are cool. They are shaped like something that would normally come on a muscle bike.

With all those women working on the bike it could be Calamity Jane.

It looks good just as it is, maybe oil the chain.

the fenders do look muscle bike. They may stay on the bike. I will have to add a few links to the chain and maybe 15 or so spokes to the wheels so they will go straight! LOL

Started disassembling and mocking up with spare parts. I always like to fit everything before painting. Found a use for the Jesse James forks that came off an old chopper bike. Still thinking we're gonna make it a 5 or 6 speed though. There's a lot of hilly terrain here. So this is an update on the progress.


beginning to fit the forks...

now have to cut the length of the forks...

Pretty cool stance that bike has taken on.
