You could contact the Little Motor Kar Co. in PA. They re-chrome model car parts, he may be able to re-chrome larger plastic parts.

I bought a pair online last summer for $50 shipped, can't remember from where though, I searched on google and 50 bucks for the pair was the least expensive I could find.

I wonder if this tank could be adapted to a late '30's ladies Elgin. Would make it almost look like a Bluebird.

Check out niagaracycle.com, they carry beefy S7 compatible 2in wide whitewalls....CST I believe.

In the words of Jackie Gleason...How sweet it is! Very cool build...stance, rake, seat, steering wheel....great!

Looks even better outside...terrific job!

Very, very nice! Those tires fit it perfectly. :thumbsup:

I lucked out on CL a couple months ago when I picked up the duplicate of the bike I received Christmas 1965....a pristine Huffy Galaxie for the princely sum of $40. Even had its original bell!

OK, that's it.....I can't take anymore.....this is beyond perfect. :praise:

I hope you don't mind.....but I'm going to have to replicate this bike.:praise:

This bike is so beastly it'll make children and hippies cry! Everything about it is just right.....it actually looks like it was built by a pro shop sorta like a Gas Monkey Garage for bikes.

This just gets better and better....bike looks like both a Harley Fat Boy and then also a police motorcycle from the 40's/50's.:rockout: And your fender brace shortening technique just solved a problem I had earlier today in fitting 50's era ballooner fenders to my Raleigh mountain bike.:113:

+1 on Niagara Cycle....plus free shipping with $150 purchase.

I'm coming down the home stretch on finally getting my '39 Rollfast that I purchased from a member here 3 years ago up and running....I'm using PB Blaster on the chain which hasn't spun in decades....its working like a charm.

I was thinking the same thing....wouldn't want to see it in my rearview mirror! Fantastic build....everything about it is spot on and just right.
