Finally riding a big boys bike
After 12 years of being in the bicycle hobby I finally picked up a Motobike. I always flirted with the idea of buying one but always ended up picking up a ballooner instead. I found this one at a local cycle swap here in SoCal. After looking over the bike it seams to be in great condition and will clean up with ease which is a well needed break after the intense clean up job I had with the WF 4-gill project I just finished.
I decided to use the original wood rims and modify them to accept modern tires.

That is an awesome bike. Great find, looks like a fun and rewarding bike to work with. It looks great now!
 
I'm going to be running 700c 35 Kenda tires for a smooth comfortable ride.
The red tires on it look to be repop solid rubber tires. I was able to remove them with ease.

LMK how this works for you. I have a couple 28" bikes with single tube metal clad wheels I'd like to get on the road. Hoping I can go this route as well instead of the Velocity Blunts.

those 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 tires that you removed are worth some money to a wheelmen , that thick tiring is hard to find ,, if you are going to sell it you might want to put the ad on a wheelmen site ,, please show the progress of how you put your other tires on ,, thanks , nice bike ,, branche

Is there a specific site you recommend or would Ebay be better?
