This bike will be patterned after the Harley Elvis had in Clambake (I think that was the name of the movie).

Notice my effective use of background to mask my pictures, lOL :shock:

I like the frame & fork you're using for this build!

Are you putting in a windshield as well like the bike in the movie?

Columbia Firebolt?

This is a 64 frame with a space race headlight pod. I based that on the Bendix Red Band i took out of it and the date on the Stimsonite reflector. I believe this was a Newsboy Special, but it had no chainguard when I got it so no wat to be exactly sure. I have the original mangled fenders and I been kicking around how I may use them. We shall see.

This is a cool frame and fork combo. Bicyclerick has one of these bikes, I think its a thunderbolt or firebolt. I can't remember which one. I like your saddle bags too. How much wuold you sell those to me for? LMK if you want to selll them?

Firebolt Mine is a 1962

I have been able to obtain what I consider the finest set of vintage wheels ever made, IMHO. These will be absolutely perfect on this bike. I hope you agree.

nice lookin wheels, ya keepin the skiptooth ?

by **yeshoney** on Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:41 pm

Not sure yet about the Skip Tooth. I don't have a crank or sprocket yet picked out so I am not sure how I will proceed in that direction. I had a sprocket I was thinking about and then my idea I seen in another post. I want to do something unique (not 62 teeth sprocket! :shock:

Just so long as the parts don't have to come from England. :lol:
