Hi @ditchpig

The poster is excellent. If you want to increase your research in the area, CABE member, @Wing Your Heel wrote a good book on WW1 military bicycles actually titled "Bad teeth no bar", available here:


I like your solution to using the bike. The missing parts are difficult to locate, but they do turn up.

I also like (so it appears) that youve removed the overpaint, and now you can see where years of use wore the green pait and black enamal off the frame.

Best Regards,

Adrian
Hello again, Season's Greetings!
Wondering if you ever got an update or reply back from WS ...'37Rider' ?
I also messaged him and did not get an answer.... oh well,
Kryn
 
Hi Kryn,

And Best Wishes to you too. (-:

No, nothing after the first exchange. He's still here, 'Last seen 8th Dec', so perhaps still considering options.

But the realiry is that we get many people who arrive, ask a couple of questions, then go.

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
Cousin 37Rider:
You received lots of good info, but if you're thinking of an easier tribute project for starters, consider something like one. It started life as a red Huffy Tundra MTB. Transformation was accomplished with some olive drab paint, new tires (26 X 1.50), and a rear rack.

Or perhaps a Royce-Union cantilever cruiser (work in progress). Have fun!

Finding it strange that 37Rider (original poster in Dec.) never replied or came back to chime in.....not very Canadian...just sayin'...
Hope he's OK, that's all....and that he wasn't offended by something.
I move that we end his thread. Seconder?

Have you tried to PM him?
 
I'm sure he's out there slowly opening his wallet and asking himself,
"Is it really this expensive for a seat? I mean really. It's just a seat. And
why do these wheels cost so much? They're not even usable yet. I'll
have to put even more money into them just to get them rolling. Sigh."
And in about three years time we'll get a nice report with a beautiful
bicycle from our Canadian friend. At least, I hope so.
