This is a unique build...
It's a 70's speedster frame that is converted into a 5 Speed Fastback.
There's a 69 Stik-Shifter, 5 speed back wheel from a Varsity and other things to make it look and feel like an original fastback. It's for the big kids only! More pics to come.

Enjoy the pics!
 
excellent work!
 
This is my '72 Speedster. It's got a 3-speed Sturmey-Archer with a Shimano stick-shift (this is an old picture before I had the shifter). The bars are old Manta Ray bars and the seat is an off-brand I picked up off eBay. It was originally red, but I wanted an orange bike. I rattle canned it and then wet sanded and polished it. It came out decent, but not perfect.

I thought this looked familiar... then I realized that I saw it on your flickr page first, along with all your other sweet bikes. I didn't realize you were in NH, I'm now in CT. If I am ever up in your neck of the woods I will have to stop by and see the collection first hand.
