Picked up this beast off HotRodRob's dad a while ago. Did a few minor things to it and gave it to my dad. He's always wanted an old ballooner and he's the one who taught me how to turn a wrench, change a tire . . . It was the least I could do. He loves this thing, and so do the people in town where he rides it. I need to get a complete, ratty but true, S2 front wheel for it. The hub disintegrated on the inside on the right side this past weekend. I have never seen that happen before. This bike even has some old model decals from the '50s some kid put on it. The bike was covered in oil, so it can clean up really nice, but dad likes it ratty. The seat has been swapped for a more correct looking one. :lol:

Nice unit... I suggest you replace just the hub and retain the rim and spokes, FWIW. :)
 
Glad to see you parted out that seat..LOL..Is that a phone booth in the background...?
