Finally got her out for a ride today. The bike is amazingly comfortable and it cruises along nice and smooth. Thanks to FS for providing the extra links. As you can see the chain is quite long.

Nice bike. I hope your not going to be riding it off road too much. I would hate to see anything on the frame break. Pretty sweet ride!

No, the knobby tires will be replaced with some cruiser tires soon. This one is strictly for the beach and boardwalk. My Mercury is the only old bike I have that gets used on the trail.

Ok, now I am done.

I know you said that you were done, but keep your eyes peeled for an Elgin '36 or so Bluebird front sprocket. A solid chrome one. It would set the polish of the frame off pretty great(not that it doesn't look great already..)

That would look pretty kick ass. The rain stopped for a few hours today and I hit the beach in the morning. There is nothing like having a nice hot coffee and cruising along checking out the girls. I had 4 people stop and ask me about the bike. One even asked if it was for sale. That made me feel pretty good.
