A huge thanks to Jim Henderson at
@TRM for his brilliant transformation of the Hiawatha Arrow! Also gratitude is in order to all the people who have provided parts and guidance to help bring the project nearly to the end. I am still in need of the following little items to completely finish the bicycle: a patina rusty pair of Shelby head tube bearing cups, a Shelby seat post bolt (or a rusty 1 1/2 -1 3/4 internal length), and preferably a more rusty Shelby branded stem to better match the bars. I would be willing to buy these parts or trade my cleaner ones for more suitable patina examples.
Kind thanks to:
Glenn Rhein for the saddle
@Glenn Rhein , Chad for the Centipede Grip tires
@saladshooter , Shawn Sweeney for valuable information
