Very nice and great work, wheels look like the rear wheel that I have no bike for.
Friday I finally pumped up the tires and took my folder out a few minutes for a ride, it goes just fine with a bit of stiffness turning it though, shifter shifts sort of I to II, the front brake works but needs pads and the rear doesn't work at all but it was a real fun ride.

ej599's work is phenomenal indeed.
Nice bikes, These so many pretty bikes on this thread now. I should take a pic of the winter Raleigh I built, it's pretty neat. I finally got the 1939 Raleigh hanging in my room on display. I noticed it;s suposed to have a top tube shifter to, apparently it may be a golden arrow
I just picked this one up today at the swap meet for $25
it just needed a little cleaning, and some air in the tires.
Sturmey archer 3 speed works fine too!!
It's a pretty small bike though- for 24 1 3/8 size tires.

heres a pic of my next project.
This one's a hercules- not sure what year, but I was lucky enought to pick this one up recently for $10.
It's not being restored- probably just throw a paint job on it- black with sand colored polka-dots??
Actually, the rust looks so nice, I kinda wanna ride it just as is!
Nice chrome though!

My wife found this at a tag sale a while back and claimed it for herself even though she can't ride it 
. Here are some pictures of it.
All I did to it was air up the tires. She lets me ride it anytime I want so I took it out for a photo shoot ......and brought it back after........and hung it back up :roll:

Bomble may have a Gold one But what I'm working on right now is also something very nice, it's a neat blue color, it's gonna be perty
I have had this frame and fork in my shed, it was what was left of that transit I had in a pic, everything chrome was shot and not much was good, here it is now.
