BF Ranger - Meady BFG

[ballooney]

I started building a mashup bike I picked up on eBay some months ago...it was one of those bikes that just had “it” so I went for it. It’s BFG badged with mead ranger accents (rack and wheels). You never know what you might end up with on bikes from eBay so holding my breath I started breaking this bike down to see what I had before building it back up again. It’s a ‘41 Canti so I was told. Let’s see...H serial number (check)

Crank...stamped ‘41 (check)

Is the tank legit? Yep...threaded mounts (check)

Feeling good so far!!

And onto the wheels which is the stage I call “the stall”...looks like a post war ND based on the brake arm. Anyone have a small prewar model D brake arm?

Done for the night.

Finished up the wheels and threw on some killer repro silvertowns from @dave_k. They look bitchen. Even found a crusty prewar ND brake arm. Sweet!

And a decent Miller stand.
