thanks again...looks pretty straight forward. I did find Elmira NY 36-13 on the Bendix hub.

I have a tendency to take certain liberties when "restoring" since restoration parts are so cost prohibitive if they can even be found.

So, as a consequence, all my bikes are riders and they do get ridden hard every riding season.
I hope this doesn't upset any of the purists.
My bikes are fun builds and fun rides.

This one is gong to be a fun build too. My favorite colors just so happen to be Red,Black and Chrome...so it looks like that's the colors it's going to be.

Here it is all blasted and then primered. Making progress, now I need to go thru all my bearings and such to see what all I need and clean up the 'bright work'. But first I'm going to visit my Brother at the RV resort in Mission TX and go ride some bikes.

Finally made some progress....Should have it riding in about a week. Ordered new tires, decals and grips. I'm ready to ride.

Some assembly last night....may need a different seat...may need different fenders not sure yet.

Nice paint job. It looks way better now. I also like what you did with those wheels. Nice!

This is the bike those old tires came off of.

Here it is...course they are never finished...
