Heres a pic of the Pope big chainring

Lastly, although this bike misses the 1933 cut-off for this section by a few years, but I love the lines of this '37 Rollfast. I built it for the Rat Rod Built Off competition a few years ago. Here it is at the Bonneville Salt Flats

Had to bump this up from the basement .....
I also love big rings ... 60-T, half-inch pitch
and even bigger T-count.

Two machines from the balloon-era I would
like to see with big rings -- and their architecture
could handle it >>> Paris, TX ROCKET .Bike .....
and that mid-30's Colson ''rainbow-frame' with the
waaay-long chainstays.

Below is a trucky li'l roadster I bult some time ago ...
using an Orient tandem ..... cyber-built, of course.
