That turned out great!! Nice work, I just finished a custom 46 Elgin project myself. I would definately be interested in that path, I live about 45 minutes away and have been wanting to take one of my bikes and ride in Wilmington. I figured the waterfront there is abit to hilly for a single speed. We have a pretty nice 8 mile smooth paved bike path here in Jacksonville that the wife and I ride, also mine and a few other neighborhoods. I am not real familier with Greenfield Lakes area, I know there is a paved skateboard park there somewhere but thats about it.

Carbon,
Greenfield is just one of several parks in the area with bike trails. A number of them are linked by the Cross City Trail, and don't forget the River to the Sea Bikeway is also there. I'm on the road and dead exhausted but will try to get some pics up soon. We have ridden down to the riverfront, the problem with that is we have to ride up to the house. :shock: :oops:

Really beautiful, I discovered last year your bike would be a Roadmaster built bike like my 1990's Grand Trophy because the Roadmaster Aspen that is online is the exact frame build.


Here is that Roadmaster Aspen.

Roadmaster Aspen is really cool and a great looking bike, but I have two male Grand Trophies Including the mate to this one and the top tube is a distinctly different shape. Still might be Roadmaster built but the frames are not the same. Here's one I just bought yesterday for you to compare.

Check out the top tube.
I wouldn't mind having one like that Aspen. It would be easier to cut & stretch.
 
Cool, that one is made by Huffy which their models name was Good Vibrations.

The one made by AMF had a straight down tube too, I believe when AMF stopped making bikes the company that bought the Roadmaster name from them must have changed the design & how the frames was built.

Here is another members Grand Trophy as you can see it's the same as the Roadmaster Aspen's.

Here is my Grand Trophy, I think in the 90's Roadmaster changed the forks and the top tube but left everything else the same until they stopped doing cruisers then went to only mountain & BMX's.

It is very interesting to see all of the different variations, I knew that all of mine were Huffy built thanks to the ubiquitous Huffy "Mag" front sprocket. Interestingly enough both of the male bikes have one cantilever tube slightly lower than the other where they are brazed to the front down tube. :? Go figure...
Thanks for showing me the others, now I may have to find one of each.
 
Man that really came out beautifully!!!
Nice work!
