Ladies 37 RMS lives again

[fordmike65]

Finally, the infamous "Cali Cartel" bike is on the road. It took a Cyclone Coasters CWC ride to get me off my butt and her rolling again. She got a complete drivetrain service including all new ball bearings throughout, correct wheelset, a sweet pair of John's creamwalls & a nice slightly used Diamond chain. The paint got a very light cleaning & a couple layers of wax to help bring out a bit of her former shine. I did a lil bit of careful de-rusting on a couple plated parts to help them match better & tie in the whole look. Other than that, she's as-is, just how we like them. I did swap in a correct Lobdell torpedo spring saddle & seatpost I just so happened to have lying around for such an occasion since the original saddle was quite brittle. I think it looks right at home on this beauty. Thanks for looking,Mike


As we received her...

Paired up with John's amazing '37 in matching paint at yesterday's CWC Ride.

I agree!
It was great to see the ladies model so well represented yesterday.
Beautiful preservation, Mike.
Thanks for bring her and Lulu out for us all to enjoy.

Glad I let her go to the right guy! Looks great! I bet John wants it now! Ha!

Sweet bikes and nice pictures. The men"s sure has an alien bug eye look from the low front angle. If it came in green you'd have to call it "The Mantis" Killer!
