Would love to see more details of the 20" double bar, too cool!
Not sure I've seen a 20" Shelby like that, thinking more like CWC or Colson maybe?

Yeah guy I got it from said maybe CWC. I’ll try to get more pics later

I gained a new addiction for Spicy Chestnut apparently...

Working on getting a friend to let loose of a 20" Cruiser to match this set.
With the Sidewinder being the newest to the fleet, I didn't realize how much I missed the gear setup of the 10 speed...once these things are dialed in, they're pretty solid. I can't really stand skinny wheels, at least not on the uneven pavement around here, but I see more builds like this in my future.

Also a busy week in the shop; swapped a 4 speed for a 5 speed in my bosses bus and had to shorten the driveshaft.

Also finally got around to making this chainless frame piece. Still have a bit of machining and cleaning up to do.

Hello;
Don't forget to rebalance the truck shaft, it could knock.

Was more than happy to pick up this local Surly 1x1 for @ODDER he got a heck of a deal on this rig!

Bought some bicycle figurines off Etsy hoping they’d be the right scale for my TdF car, no dice. Bummer

Lastly I got these cool tiger grips off @mannymota46 but unfortunately these always seem too hard and shrunken to install on actual handlebars. I guess they’re cool display pieces.

I found this but they were a 4 hour round trip . After sleeping on it I decided I should see if they were available and I hit the road . To cheep to pass up.

 

[Blue Streak]

1900 Tribune Model 54 Blue Streak (30" wheels) with aftermarket suspension seat post and Claus adjustable handlebars. Been trying to buy this for six years. Finally able to make a deal.

I bought this Canadian hardware store called Macleods branded Hiawatha 5 speed bike from a local bike friend. The bike was so clean, couldn't turn it down. Only thing not original is seat, he got it with no seat.

Also from same guy I got these Duro red tires. They will go on a bike someday. They look great on the wheels I had sitting around.
