there are some pics at oldroads but no close ups either.
aww man that looks awesome, i have my eye on that exact bike for awhile, glad to see someone here got it 
i asked around and yeah it is the wedge type seat post......theres some on E(over)pay right now but you could probably make one for a fraction of the cost!
Thanks for the info, KOTA.
She's gonna sparkle! :wink:

Not TOOOO bad, but it would be just another added expense. (Half the fun would be making something.)
exactly!im sure youve got an old wedge and bolt lying around somewhere.........KOTA said:
Okay, it's July 1st. I guess I should start to do something!...........SHE ROLLS!
Waiting for all my "stuff" to show up! Tires, seat, bars...blah, blah, blah....Gonna try bead blasting her, next week, see if she'll CLEAN up. :roll: Also going to try a cold bend on the forks,.... hope I don't ruin them! (I think I prefer working in winter, no mosquitos.) :lol:

With my BARE hands, I may be old, but I'm still STRONG! :lol: ..............Actually it's pretty easy. I used a conduit bender. First you place one side in the bender, use a reference point (I used a half inch ABOVE the dropout), apply pressure. Do other side, the exact same way (half inch ABOVE dropout). REMEMBER, it's better to do a little at a time. If you bend it to much, you can throw it away, or use a smaller wheel!........When done place on flat surface and "roll" the fork, like a rocking chair, to check for evenness (make adjustments accordingly). You'll be surprised at how easily they bend. :wink:
Kota do you know if that bike was a 24" or 26". A friend has one for sale but it's a 24". He's fit 26" on other 24" silver kings (mens)
Thanks..
Thanks..
coming together nicely! Can't wait to see where else you go with it.

It was listed as a 26 (Chestnut Hollow), the fork is from a 26. Just checked the rear dropouts, there seems to be a lot of room to adjust the tire back. There are no numbers anywhere on the frame.
I just compared the length of the arms on the chainring, to a similar year bike (26). Exactly the same. So it more then likely is a 26inch..........52 tooth sprocket, my wife is gonna be huffin and puffin. :roll:
