What bike did you work on today?

[tryder]

This "diamond in the ruff" landed on my doorstep in one long box last Friday.
Excellent packing job and even tension straps on the exterior!
I wish I had taken a photo of the box.
Anyway I thought I would get started on disassembly yesterday afternoon.

I like old bikes and old tools.

It was nice and brisk.
Most everything came apart quickly.
Every thread must have been nicely greased on assembly.

And I only dropped a master link.
Thank you Schwinn.
Thank you Crescent Tools.
More next week.

I guess I should work on the SN research at this point... Which is the catalog number?

Picked this one up from classifieds. Early Colson frame. Work in progress.

Next up is this 40 BA307…the idea is to finish this up for my wife for Christmas…of course this is more for me than her so it’s just a fun thing to do and bring it out Christmas morning with a big bow on it.
Stripped it down for detailing and servicing.

Great looking build did well !!!

Made some progress today on assembling my 'partscaster' Jaguar Mark IV build.

Did some fork straightening today. Think it came out ok. After a lot of research I believe this may be a 1919 Davis built Sears Master.

I worked on this little 16 inch colson

Finished cleaning up a 1954 Firestone Special Cruiser last night. Didn't realize when I got it but someone had painted the fenders red. Was happy that came off with a little stripper and a toothbrush, revealing these pretty pinstripes!
