Monkey Panic

[bicycleguy]

I've been waiting to build this one for a while. I think it's a Rollfast frame but I'm not 100% sure.

The rear hub is a 60's Hawthorne and the front is an ACS drilled for 12ga. spokes.

I sanded the frame down last night and this morning I laced up the wheels. The front has an ACS hub, 12ga. spokes and the rear a Hawthorne hub and 11ga. spokes with steel nips, both are rolling on drilled alloy rims.

Bent the fork out a little

Once I start a project I usually rush through it to get to the next one. :mrgreen:

Started on the dropouts for my "springer".

I finished up the front end today. It's a "springer" with the bars welded right to the fork and a 12ga. shell in the top cap. 8)

Thanks guy's, it's actually pretty comfortable and it looks better than using a stem with flipped bars.

I got it rideable today, I threw a Brooks B-17 narrow with a flipped "7" post on it but I think I might make a seat pan.
