Maldwyn

Postby Boardtrack fan on Thu May 29, 2008 7:02 pm

This is just a pile of parts, most of which will be used in my build. The fork is from my Boardtracker X build but, I will be making another one like it for this bike. I'm undecided on the seat. The frame, crank, sprocket and wheels are definitely being used. Still need stem, handle bars, tires, chain, and tank.

Yeah, I'm glad you didn't. The more I look at it the more I like it. You sure made me sorry I sold you that American Flyer. That thing is looking great.

I think I might have the same style frame! I almost chose this as my Build Off bike but decided to just rob a few of it's parts.

I love the frame. I was going to build a bike with a similar frame. Now I am not sure. Still finding parts for my build.

Undecided on using the seat, or KEEPING it? :mrgreen:

If it crosses your mind to let it move on, let me know... :D

Sorry, I have about 3 projects I would like to use that seat on. I just bought it from Jerry at Chestnut Hallow. He did not have many mens seats like that but, he has tons of womens seats with the double spring. He even had some of the leaf spring seats for big $$$$.

Making some progress. I got some things sandblasted this weekend. I had a heck of a time getting the old seat post out. Two days of heat and PB blaster! As you can see this will be a tribute of sorts to Maldwyn Jones. Jones was a Flying Merkel racer/rider.
