'68 Screaming Eliminator

-

Demzie

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Well, the Simplex Shifter and Green seat ended up on something else,. And as some of you have seen, the Evan's Action fork has ended up for sale (pending),. So I decided to start and now nearly finish my first Muscle Bike instead of the Elgin Curve Mast project.
I love those frames but they're just too awkward to work with without period correct parts..

This on the other hand basically came together like a Kit.

I need to LED the light as it was intended for use with a generator.,

Adjust the rear of the seat and sissybar to come together a bit more,.

Find another front fender and hopefully an original paint fork, a decent Eliminator Mark 1 guard,.

Hook up the 5 Speed,.

Add a little black leather to the bars for grip,.

Extend the shifter handle (and swap the handle) by about 2ft..

Change the Chain Ring from this original 1972 Schwinn Mag style ring (undecided on replacement, but I have ideas),.

Okay..so I have some stuff to do..

Thought it a little overdue for an update.
After a little Himmin and Hawin on Feebay to rationalize the price, I caved and picked up the correct guard.
After mounting it, I straightened the seat out a little more and tacked on the pegs just for a little funky flair. I thought with the 5sp, Id also use a Purple derailleur but it hasnt yet come to fruition.

Still hunting another fork and front fender.

(I know, I know.. wrap the bars 😂)

Yeah, I worked on some of it there as well as home.
Access to a bigger space than my residence was beneficial given where this project began.
Its home with me.now, but its for sale.
