Thanks for the additional info . Would a full resto or a clean and ride be better?

Were the serial numbers different depending on the manufacturer and badging? This bike has chrome fenders which I have not seen on any other newsboy that I can find. I talked to my friend and he actually delivered papers with this bike in upstate NY. He told me it has to be from the fifties...

A friend just brought over his old bike that he says he bought new from Western Auto, he thinks he bought it in 1957. Can anyone tell me any details about this bike. Everything I have found online looks a little different than this one. Everything on it is original but we want to return it to...

Thanks Will. I like the way you fitted the grenade. If you shorten your cable make sure to leave enough arc in it or it will make shifting harder. I do have a metal ammo can that I am mounting up now and I am moving the bottle opener onto the can so I can rig up a camelback type water bladder...

Well I finished the bike enough to ride it in the 9-11 remembrance yesterday. Still a few pieces need to be completed. Need to find the right grenade to go on the shifter and a couple other ideas but here it is as of now.

Thanks. Stenciling and several other finishing touches are being completed at this time. Finished pics should be up tomorrow.

Made some good progress over the weekend even with all the rain here in Daytona. Still have plenty left to do before the 9-11 ride this Thursday but it will be done. Here are some current pics. The bottle opener has nothing to do with the military theme but sometimes I get thirsty and it fit...

Here are some progress pics. The temp and humidity here is slowing my progress but things are moving forward. The frame comes with about 12 cable lugs for various options so I shaved off all the ones I won't be using just to clean things up. The wheels and fork are have been coated in truck bed...

Will Thank you for your service. I am a Navy Veteran and the Veterans Outreach Director for Team RWB Daytona Chapter. Starting on 9-11 and going until 11-11 Team RWB is moving a single American flag from California to D.C. so my mission is to finish this bike by 9-11 and ride it 4 miles each day...

Just got a new Fat Tire A/T cruiser from my local dealer. Super cool bike with nice features. The retail price is right at a grand but comes with all stainless hardware and a rustbuster chain. Aluminum frame and 3 speed internal hub. This thing is a monster and a blast to ride. Yesterday I...

Brilliant design. Well thought out.

My wife and I are both Team leaders of a national Veterans org. called Team RWB whose mission is to enrich the lives of Veterans through physical and social activity. Bike riding is one of those activities and my wife asked me to build her a Team RWB bike so when the wife asks I get going. I...

Heres a couple pics of a recent build I did for a friend. Built on a early 80's Jamis Earth cruiser frame. It's called Momma Dukes based on what her daughter called her as a child.

Mostly snacks because fighting zombies can make you hungry.

You won't believe until they show up and crash the party.

This is an old 81 Earth Cruiser back from the dead as what I call the Zombie Cruiser.

I am about to finish a makeover of a early Earth cruiser so I thought I would add a few before shots.

I just decided to join up after looking at so many cool bikes on this site. I am a former custom motorcycle fabricator who for health reasons had to leave that world, but I still love two wheeled machines.
