1936 Electric C model

[tripple3]

One of my favorite cusom bikes on The Cabe!Looks like a comfy all day rider. Very well done!

Sweeet.

The bike being related to your trade adds a little extra coolness to an already great bike you've built. It's also fantastic that you ride the snot out of your bikes!! We should all be so fortunate.

Agreed one of my all-time favorite custom pre-war bikes as well. Paint scheme and execution is brilliant and it's a darn nice bike to begin with.

Wow Mark the paint work really set this bike off. I like the raked out headtube. Lots of extras i never noticed. Pretty cool that it gets ridden so much too.

I really like this thread and everything about how your C Model has evolved. How you re-created the above photo is really cool.

Thank you all!
It started off with all the "Experts" telling me what the bike needs to be "Correct"; instead it was ordained with all the coolest parts and accessories I found.
Recently we received this Pacific Power & Light topper for my birthday.
thanks again Marty. @cyclingday

I rode it to do "Essential Electric" work in Orange for Cal-Trans the following day.

Riding again; better than ever with fresh laced NOS spokes/nipples.

Made lock-nuts by cutting a nut in half with a portable bandsaw.
Very handy Electricians tool.

Hope you used a vise to cut those nuts in half. I still have that lineman's bucket if you want it

Anything that has "Reddy Kilowatt" on it, is instantly cool. (for you youngsters, that the guy on the topper)

Yes, i did, use a vice;
the same vice i used when a kid, in the garage, in HB.
Brought it home when we moved Mom up to Idaho, on her 82nd birthday, 2020
Yes, thank you very much for that HIGHLINE equipment tool bag.
It's funny to me, an apprentice buddy of mine, came over Friday to ride;
asked, "Do you have something to put my wallet and keys in?"
YeahIdo.

Thanks again, "Sparky" Mark

You're welcome! I'm glad that riggers bag finally came into use for someone. I'll bet a celphone or a Hamms pounder would fit too
Next time you're in the PNW, stop by. I'm 100 miles east of Lewiston on Hwy 12......
