1940 Roadmaster Four Gill

[Freqman1]

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I rode this bike a little this afternoon and need to adjust the seat chassis but other than that I think everything is working as it should. I hope to get some miles on it this weekend. V/r Shawn

I hear ya, settling sucks, but sometimes you have to...

You better watch out, Shawn.
You're getting pretty good at that bike restoration thing.
You're going to wake up one morning and find a bunch of bikes on your front lawn with fix it tags hanging from the handlebars.

Fabulous job on the four gill!

I need to give props to Josh (Stradalite) for the seat and the few pieces that did need re-chroming were sent to Custom Plating Specialist in Brillion, WI-pricey but quality work. This bike started with an amateur (read really crappy) resto on an original bike so some of the chrome had already been done. I still need to send the chainring out--a long story but other than that I'm done.
