The Schwalbe tires I have are a 635 BSD as opposed to the 622 of 98% of 700c wheels.

IF they fit your wheels. They don't fit these original ones, or a sample at the bike shop of the new 700c coaster wheelset I ordered. Would have loved to use them.

Diggin' the starting point! RaT oN~!

Video Update 1 Here is the Quasi-Moto in person, and a background history of this particular bike. Grab a cup of coffee, and join me in the BACK40

That patina truck photo is inspiring and I'm a sucker for a Native blanket any day!

Great to see you back again with a twist this time around; three wheeled fun! You had me at that 'Super Elliott' cartoon. :nod:

Dig the Monark frame. And it's not a real Build Off until we see that background at the start of another dropstep build! RaT oN~!

If your wife doesn't object to her bike being named 'Old' Lace, you're already way ahead of the game! :bigsmile: In the States we have a brand of instant chocolate milk / hot cocoa called 'Swiss Miss'. A name alternative, might win you bonus points with the intended recipient as well.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! I always love a true barn find with the dust intact! And the back story will sell a few subscriptions to your thread, for sure. RaT oN~!

Sweet frame and yes, very curvy. I also like Fooligan, and it gives you a wide birth for customization ideas / execution. RaT oN my brother!

Love those bike whitewalls on there! Gonna ride like a dream.

BRE is at it again! And when you reside 7 hours into the future, and the 'ball drops' on RRB BO19 at 9 pm Central Daylight time, you get about 4 hours of daylight to get a jump on the build off! Looks cool. RaT oN~!

Great theme and concept! My first 26" bike was a 1964 Schwinn Typhoon. Looking forward to your take on this!

So, the mystery game of 'RRB Clue' that we have been playing on the 'sniffing BO 19 ' thread up to this point, is trying to determine the manufacturer of this Hawthorne De Luxe motobike. Both the Cleveland Welding Co and Snyder / DP Harris produced motobikes for the Montgomery Wards Hawthorne...

Thanks guys! The original 28" wheel size is very close to the modern 700c wheel size. In most cases, they share the same BSD, Bead Seat Diameter, where the bead of the tire actually 'seats' (clinches) into the rim. That measurement is the 622 number found embossed in the tire side wall...
