What Bike Did U Work on Today?

[dnc1]

Just got this old racer frameset from France.
Nice gold box lining and traces of nickel plate.
Stuck some hubs on it to see how they look.
Cola bath for the forks and headset.

Worked on and finished the Dial Your Ride. Still need to get the headlight and horn to work. Had my first tire blowout since I got in this hobby. Was "this" close to the shakedown ride. Moved the bike out of the shed to take some pics, went back for the camera, and BOOOM!! Almost had a heart attack. Run out, bike on its side on the grass, rear tire flat. Brand new wheel set, brand new tubes, and nearly new tires. Tires say inflate to 40-65 pounds. 65 seemed too much, so I did about 50. Guess that was too much as well. Even bent the new rim! So, off to the store for a new tube, re-inflated to only 40 pounds, then off to a very smooth and quiet ride. The springer is lively, fun to watch, and I can feel a difference in the ride as I "dial" the knob high to low, fun stuff.

Started to do a cleanup on my original 49 Luxury Liner today, not bad.

If it's a Duro inner tube- 40 psi is the max, depending on your weight

Well I finished putting the Twin Flex together. This bike was parted together and had never been assembled. There were a few issues and small things to be modified or made. The lenses, horn button, and a set of Firestone white walls are on the way. This is a Firestone bike and I'm going to do it in silver and red. Took it for a check ride tonight and everything seemed good. V/r Shawn

Further to the above,
I found a frame number and another headstock rivet hole, can't work out how a makers badge would fit though!
Any thoughts anyone?

Sorting through the French chainsets to find something suitable towards making it usable.
This one is at least the right axle size, there seems to have been many variables of this in France.
