I got this mostly original rollfast a few weeks ago ,this is the bike I will be using for my build.there will be some welding and modding of the frame so this is where I need to be.

Bike by slinginrods, on Flickr. Got it down to the frame through some parts on it to get a feel for the style I want.im going for a hot rod /salt flat race look .i finally will get to use my 24 x3 tires .I don't think I'll stick with these forks ,triple tree will be the final end.these bars may work but they need a good haircut.bet on lots of flake for paint and a good mix of chrome and black paint.

I've got a very similar Rollfast bike that I pulled out of the desert. Haven't done anything with it yet.

Bike by slinginrods, on Flickr. Played with some seat posts ideas.im partial to the layback look on this style of bike.i can stand over the seat easily like this.plus it looks fast :wink:
Bike by slinginrods, on Flickr. I still need to order my forks.i want this as low as possible.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Yeah, I agree! That seat post looks spot on on the bike!

Luke.
