Thanks @Nashman . Awesome Arrow you have there👍 It looks like we have very similar taste in our surrounding goodies 😁 Im TOTALLY digging your Flyte 😳🤗 WOW what a gorgeous machine! To bad there isn’t an erection emoji 😂 Shon

Madness!

Let me first say I have limited use of OA and I’m definitely no bike expert but I have been doing allot of experimentation with it… So far I personally prefer Evaporate-Rust for several reasons. You don’t have to worry about neutralizing it, I have found OA isn’t very effective unless it’s a...

@Freqman1 Shawn if you have time for a few questions could you please send me a pm? I’m slowly gathering parts…$$$ Thanks Shon

First class brother!!! BEAUTIFUL machine… Shon

“I welcome the education here” That goes for me also. I was going by what the bike had on it when it was found in the listing posted above when it was originally found. Although personally I do like the looks of the torpedo style light better. Shon

Right! 😁

Picked this beauty a few weeks ago. It was sold on here back in 2018. Some stuff has been stolen off her 😢 but she is still a beautifully preserved cool ride that will be a easy one to get back on the road 😁 I would like to put her back like she was originally equipped if anyone has a set of...

I believe this to be a Mead but I can’t find any information on it. I did find another Mead thread that pretty much confirmed in my mind it is a Mead by the unique brake mechanisms. Anyone have any further info on it? Thanks guys Shon

Or a Bowden😳

I have thought about the exact same thing… I just would hate to steal the braces off a repairable rear fender just because I need a front… Someone, maybe even me at some point is going to need that fender that got scraped. Now if it was a unsaveable fender I think it would be a great option. Or...

Well I’m in the market for a good steak just not wagyu 😁 Shon

“ The front fender isn't hard but with the curved braces expect to pay $150-200 for a nice one. The Indian head ornament is likely to be another $150. This bike was likely equipped with the big guard and that’s probably about $500.” Well, so much for that Shawn… 😉 I’m patient I’ll just keep...

That’s pretty darn cool👍 How big is it? Would it accommodate a “larger” 🙄 child, or literally just children. Shon

Unfortunately PlasticNerd didn’t have a front fender just a rear. So I’m still looking for a front. I’m going to go ahead and pick up the rear fender from him because I plan on building or buying another matching bike except a girls for my wife. I will DEFINITELY need to fully restore that one...

Please let me know if you have any of the following parts that you would be willing let go to help me get this beautiful piece of history back on the road again where she belongs. Pics prior to tear down below. Trying my best to see if enough paint can be saved to preserve her. Thank you in...

That my friend is a truly beautifully preserved piece of history right there ❤️‍🔥 Shon

Thank you sir👍

Thanks Frank👍 Now if I could just get someone to part with some of the bits I need that I posted in the wanted section 😁 Otherwise I’m going to be stalled here before to long… Shon

The handlebars are tweaked in a few locations. I really can’t tell exactly how much and where though so I ordered a new chrome one from the CABE. Not to use on the bike but for a reference part. I will build a few check fixtures from the new bars so that they rests on key indexed locations. I...

Thoroughly amazed I was able to get this bell working again.

My little helper 😁

Finally here are some update pics. Shon

No worries there are a few bikes getting worked on around here😁 It can get your head spinning 🤯 Shon

Well your 2c are worth more than my 0c so thank you sir👍 Shon

Thanks for the reply Shawn. I’m not at all opposed to using the original seat. I’m 99% positive it is the seat the bike came with and other than the leather it really is in GREAT condition! I it is a Mesinger I think but it is just a little different in the way the horizontal bars attach to the...

Good option, I hadn’t thought of that.🤔 I guess I’ll just hold off on sending any of it out until I get the painted stuff cleaned up and decide from there. Thanks Tim. Shon

Thanks for the reply Tim! That’s about as close to getting it directly from the horse’s mouth that anyone can expect to get👍 Shon

Update - I have been working on her a little each day and progressing nicely. I have actually been spending more time researching here and elsewhere learning exactly what is correct and what is not on her. Additionally, learning some bicycle specific restoration/preservation methods. I am doing...

Well no one got it so… Pics were of a Shelby with a (Shelby) in the background of a Hiawatha surrounded by another tribe (Pontiac) 😉

Before and After I have restored a lot of things in my day, but I never imagined restoring a chain.

I’ll have to figure out how to fix that. Big 50 71 not 73 still just a little knee scuffer though👍😂

Tracked her down and brought her back home😁 LOTS more “patena” and NOT in a good way. I can fix that👍 A bird for the AWSOME chick that puts up with my project madness. FABULOUS “patena” from Kansas!!! Orignal paint and all! Enough cars for now this is a bike place 😁 let’s ride👍

Stuff of today. 😁 Most importantly, grand babies to teach about cool stuff 👍

The next summer… What happens when a little 16 year old girl isn’t paying attention😢😭🤯 End of my building cars for 20 years. Time to build my boys into men👍 And keep them fed and clothed$$$

First car I restored. Ground up frame off nut and bolt resto. Took me 3 years. About 25 years ago.

Poncho I learned to drive in, drove to HS in, and later sold to build my first REAL GTO. 😢
