[kenji]

this bike is scattered all over the forum
enough so i think i should peice together a build thread
DX frame

lace up a 2 speed kickdown and a front drum in some old school aloy hoops

build list so far
2speed kickback rear
Aloy rims
Ashtabula stamped cranks
Tange Bicycle Motocross headset
front drum brake
Campy seatpost quick release
enough to make it look like this

dont like the middle weight fork but added a Brooks B72 saddle
Wald bars and Hunt Wilde repop grips and it was my main rider for a while lookin like this

Re: Hot Rod Lincoln Mk II

looking for more authenticity in a klunker i laced up a morrow hub in a old S2

and mounted a black fork that i noticed was a little bent with another S2 in it
i also added a skip tooth sprocket

and i finaly found a headbadge

a rear hub that matches the front is being shipped to me

and i have a varsety crank that im thinking of swapping in
i swaped in some older rat traps too.
I have a set of TA cranks that id need a conversion BB for.
and i have a black ballon tire fork that isnt bent too.

Re: Hot Rod Lincoln Mk II Skippy

I used this stuff years ago

it leaves a clearcoat where there isnt rust and darkens rust. I'm going to use some cleamers and elbow grease and then shoot this frame to try to keep what color i can in the patina. then maybe some flip flop and clear????

thats looking sweet !!! I like the direction you are going in 8) 8)

will you hate on MK III phase when the Lincoln goes hybrid Klunker with aloy and gearing?
