    FOUND WTB: Wald Tomahawk Stem

    I have one if you’re still looking. It’s the Wald #5 (#36 from the above ad) Adding a photo if you’re interested in. Never mounted and the chrome is spectacular.

    DILLIGAF Shelby "Bareflow" (formerly Hiawatha Arrow)

    Dilligaf, Loving the build thus far... on both bikes. I usually don't mind when people build up early bicycles, but I truly am happy that you let the Arrow go to a good home, it's one of only I'd say 20 OG survivors (20 might be generous). I think it shows real class on your part and shows that...

    AND one more question for all of you: Should I use a long spring saddle with Lucky7 seat post or a Brooks saddle with Lucky7 or... should I by a repro Hairpin saddle and use that with a lucky7???

    The Devil May Ride...

    So my plans are to repaint the frame, add the Higgins beehive springer, add a wooden tank with a water transfered design my lady came up with to the tank, and use a road bike stem with a 3" hang to it. Also, I've got some donor pedals from another bike (see the photos) I'll post my ladies design...

    My two newest recruits

    Love that bike Hotrod!! In fact, after I removed most of the brown house paint off the Wards, a lot of the original paint is still there. Even some of the chrome is still shining. But the paint job on mine matches exactly to yours. Do you think you could PM some up close photos of the paint job...

    My two newest recruits

    I found both of these within a week of each other. Sometimes I wonder where the Bike Gods are at and then you have a crazy week like this!!! The first is a 38-40 Wards Hawthorne built by Snyder... the second is an Elgin moto bike, that's all I know about her at the moment. Any help would be...
