Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi, picked this up a few months ago from a fellow member, thanks !! It was missing most of the original parts but did have the dogleg crank, sprocket, guard and handle bars. I faithfully reproduced the basket mount thanks to fellow member CWCman measurements, also found a saddle I liked !! I want to ride this so I ordered new rims with S/A front drum. Fake and a rear 3 speed nexus. I'm going to order a skip tooth rear sprocket in hopes of keeping it skip tooth. Going to try my luck at a patina paint job, the red has got to go. I could use a better brake lever and a Carlisle lighting 26" rear tire to match the front. Rear rim is not installed yet .. thanks for looking. Mike.

Nice looking project so far. That front wheel and brake look good. Now you just need a basket and a custom sign.
 
After some tweaking of the rear drop outs / frame. Installed the matching rear rim with matching dart lighting tire, skip tooth chain, original chainring and Torrington #8 pedals. Rides and shifts like a dream and stops on a dime! Will shake it out for a few more miles and then try a patina paint job. My son was amazed how nice it rode.

Love seeing stuff like this. A great bicycle, you, and your son. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the paint job in the future. Are you going to make a sign for it?
 
Doesn't seem to be to much interest on this bike here but I'll post till it's done. It rides great better than any 50's or 60's bike I have had, has a more laid back position! Here is the newer basket and my made from original measurements basket mount, patina painted as best I could.
