1926 CCM Cleveland

Got to do a bit of greasing and reassembly today. Loving this bike. The original finish is wicked.

My friend Greg (gflyte here on the cabe) finished the "frankenpan" seat pan. Much to my delight he was able to keep most of the original seat pan.

After grinding and etch priming. I love it:

You guys get the gold star award for tenacity. The fact that you saved that mangled thing and brought it back to life is commendable. I can't wait to see it all snazzed up with some new leather on it. Mmmmmmmm.

Thanks, but Greg (gflyte) did all of the work on the pan.

As for keeping the bike as original as possible, well, it's made it thus far from 1926. Just seems wrong to change what can be kept.

Definitely going to replace the pedal, but did some work on the wooden block phillips that was on the bike when I got it.

Still some nickel left. This pedal uses two different sized ball bearings.
