Mercury Boardtracker

[MikeS]

Starting a new project. Here it is in initial mock up. Prewar 1938 or 1939 Murray Built Mercury frame with Shelby internal springer. The wheels are just for mock up.....I'll be using painted 24" S2's with a skiptooth hub of some sort laced in.

This should be a nice build. Tell us more about the internal springer fork. That frame looks alot like my Elgin frame.

Great looking bunch of parts! You have a good eye for what works together. :mrgreen:

 

[texasbigjon]

man,that`s a beautiful frame! :mrgreen: already looks like a racer. i`d paint the wheels black,throw a black seat on it, chain it up and call it done!

Those forks are call shockeas forks they have a rubber snubber and spring in the head tube. that rests on a pad where it pivits in the middle. also has a 2 peice truss rod.

The right tires and the right stance will bring anything to life. Looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.

Already killer.This is gonna be nice.

I totally agree with what every body else has said. Put a seat and drive train on and you're good to go. The paint kind of reminds me of a several day old banana (love it) .

mike is "da man" he is a very tallented builder and a good friend. hey mike did you ever post pics of your truck on here before? i love that thing

 

[Unchained]

Oh wow! that is classy! I actually REALLY like those tires and rims- sweet! The paint job is great too, aged but solid. Sweet combination!

 

[MonsterMetal]

Man I am with everyone else... That thing is beautiful .... That is a great frame and as a pile of parts its stunning.... Id leave it and be dang proud of it

 

[Unchained]

I've added another frame to my "hope to own" list.

Thanks for the comments. I thought about leaving the paint as is on the frame, and if it was original paint I would not touch it, but it will get blasted and painted. The thick bricks are on 24 x 2.125 wheels. The spring for the fork is inside the steering tube...I'll get some pics of it when I take it apart for blasting.

Hey Adam how did you guess it was going to be pink? :lol:
