While progress has been slow these last few weeks, I'm still on track to get this done before Easter...
I have just about all the parts needed for this project and a saddle is being refurbished as I write this...

I spent countless hours trying to remove the blue color while saving the original OD underneath, but I gave up in the end...
I sanded the entire frame to bare metal and took it from there...

Found some unknown markings on the rear forks...

The original frame headplate was clearly fitted before primer and OD were applied... The plate is metal, not brass...

Frame and spokes were sprayed red oxide primer, and are awaiting a first coat of OD...

After that it will be assemble of hubs and spokes into NOS rims, and trueing...
 
Johan,
Great progress! Good to hear you found a saddle to refurb. Is it just getting cleaned up or did you find someone to work new leather with a P-M logo into it? I've got most my bike stripped clean, but my progress hasn't been quite as fast. I too spent several wasted hours trying to clean to save the original green, but was unsuccessful. I love the way those rear dropouts look. That is very different from the Huffman style. I wonder if anyone else has identified any other markings on their bikes. Date stamps?
Great stuff, can't wait to see more.
 
I bought a Women's Saddle on Ebay the other day. It was advertised as a Troxel but was actually a Persons.
The leather was cracked and torn and I had it sent to a friend who refurbished the saddle for my Huffman last year.
It will be smooth brown leather covered complete with Persons logo...

Here's a view of the saddle on the Huffy, I still need to attach the crash tabs...

That leather work is gorgeous! You'll have to ride standing up so people can appreciate the craftsmanship as you roll by.
