Hi All,
My first post here. I've messed around with old bikes for a long time (since before I knew all my bikes were rat rods), and have a pretty good collection of junk. I just pulled these two frames out of the shed. Both are missing their head badges, so if anyone knows what they are I'd appreciate knowing.
I'm thinking of more of a "moto-bike" build for the primer frame, using Thick Brick tires and maybe some drum brakes. I don't have any 24" rims around at the moment- anyone have recommendations for what rims to use with the Thick Bricks?
For the yellow one, I think I will go for more of a board track look. May put a Monark straight leg springer on it- might look nice against the straight down tube.
I have some other projects in the works, which I will try to get around to photoing and posting. My Monark Silver King is almost done- just need to make a steer tube- and I have an Elgin Twin Bar that needs lots of rust removal and a plan for how to build it.
Thanks,
Andy
