Transforming Tess (1946 Shelby Traveler)...

[Saving Tempest]

It's been a long time but I think I located the rest of her BB hardware...sorry for the wait, it has been the year I wanted to hibernate through sometimes.

 

[Saving Tempest]

Tess is coming home from the LBS today, all but the Delta 4-way installed (he didn't have enough time, he's working on bikes past his closing date already). It has fenders, a rack and the tank AFAIK on it.

PICS

I may have the screws to install the tank in my shirt pocket!

Again, Spot photobombs the hitching post shot

I need hardware to install the fenders and chainguard, might have it for the fenders.

Looking good. I see you have your guard cat on duty.

 

[Saving Tempest]

Spot is my oldest remaining cat of the original bunch, she has been around at least seven and maybe closer to twelve years as I have pictures of her from Google Street View when I still had a car, or 2007. I believe she also littered first, now the last two are fixed. I had many cats over the twelve years I've been in this house, all strays who adopted me and once lived under the house, perhaps ten in total. My youngest, Charlie disappeared just over a year ago, I miss her.

Actually, Stripey protects her.

In case you are wondering I need the arm at the back and perhaps I can substitute the other half of the front clamp to hold the guard on. I think I already sent off the Wald chainguard and hardware I had.

 

[Saving Tempest]

I may just do what I'm going to do for my nephew's Schwinn fender light, and that's carefully spray some paint into a container and daub it on carefully with a foam brush, at least for the chipped front end.

And really good news! I bought this from @A.S.BOLTNUT and it should be here tomorrow, a day early!

That's her reflector! Thanks, Rafael!

I think this one got lost in the closiing of the LBS, oddly enough he did find my Schwinn S teardrop reflector. I will go through my pile of stuff again.
