Decided to Restore.

I finished the Murray Derby so now I’m back working on the 1927 Rollfast Camelback. I finished the custom seat today. I think long springs under a Brooks saddle is a good combo. I’m now in the process of painting the frame. It should be done in a week or so.

Project Complete!! I started working on the 1927 Rollfast Camelback again after Memorial Day and after completing the Murray Derby. I replaced the rear ND hub with a Sachs Torpedo 3-speed hub. I also finished the paint. See the early post to see the progress of the project. The old boy is back and rides great. Thanks for viewing. JimRoy

I watched a few YouTube videos how to woodgrain and I have used several technics. My favorite is the one that uses an off white or tan latex base coat with Mohawk spray stains. I sprayed it with matte clear. Super durable when dry. Thanks
 
Wow, that looks super bitchin'! Pleased to to see you used some of my ideas, and how well the finished product turned out! What a cool bike. Looking forward to more of your builds! Walter,,,

. Thanks Walter for the dual boxed pinstripes, cream tires and 3-speed hub suggestions. I started two more restoration this week. A 1938 Western Flyer, and for fun I’m building a 1950s rat bike from extra parts in my shop. Thanks, JimRoy
