Patriotic muscle build

[32fenderless]

I bought this old bike from a friend about 10 years ago. It’s hung on the wall in my barn since. I’ve always liked the ‘76 Bicentennial bikes so I thought I’d try and get close.

I believe this is a ‘57 26” middleweight. I bought a 24” 2 1/8 coaster brake wheel and a Sulky slick. The front I found a 24” 1 3/8. Starting the mock up. Need to get a seat and sissy bar coming to finish mock up.
