my grandparents shed caught fire 30 some years ago, and this bike was in it. a couple years ago I found it laying around behind their place, forgotten in some weeds, with the melted dripping rubber still on the pedals. and took this picture of it in front of their field before I rebuilt the...

so I've just about given up looking for a tank for my 50's murray bike. I was hoping to find one mainly to hide an actual small gas tank in for a motorized bike kit i'm putting on my bike. I'm not a big fan of the big tear drop tank that the kit comes with. anyway, I've decided that making a...
