Alexander Rocket project

[Dan the bike man]

As many of you saw I bought this frame, fork, crank of a HIGH QUALITY reproduction of the famous John Alexander Rocket Bike from Brant @New Mexico Brant last week. I also bought these wheels/tires, and pedals from Brant actually. I'm hoping to make this a bull blown rider - the first owner to ride it as I understand. It's my winter project and hopefully there will be this awesome rocket flying around SE Michigan in the Spring! Here's just the very beginning of the project.

The Rocket looks great with the Coca Cola sign!

The Rocket looks great with the Coca Cola sign!

For sure! That's my favorite spot to photograph bikes around the house!

Super cool this landed back in the Midwest! I saw it leaned up against a post a Memory Lane this past spring and about S@#t myself! Found out it was one someone made, but that didn't distract how cool it was!! Will be watching this one! Joe. By the way you have had some killer bikes come your way lately!! Congrats!!

Thanks! I feel VERY fortunate to have this AWESOME bike! And the others too! I know a lot of people are in need of cash for the holidays and other bike buys so I'm scooping up the unusual ones! You can always earn more money but these awesome bikes don't always pop up! I'm still looking for more unusual bikes !
