'34 Elgin Blackhawk Falcon.

I wanted the fender on this bike to snuggle right up against the tire. Got some steel tubing from a hardware store, measured, cut, filed, painted. ~30min job with materials in hand.

Thanks

That looks great! I assume you also cut down the fender? Does the drop stand stay in place when you ride? I have been wanting to do something like this, but was not sure it would work.

thanks! Yeah, ds stays in place just fine. I used a loose NOS Wald replacement rear fender that was here. Cut it, added the bend for the chain clearance and holes for the ds clip.
When in doubt: try it!

They made them between 1933 and 1935. They were Elgin Falcons and Blackhawks. An example is my avatar.
