Yes! But black. Can't do honey unless it's in my coffee. Sorry.

....this isnt that big of a "thing" but most of my motivations and taste is based on my upbringing with traditional hotrods so I had to add a nod to that on the 54 with the "coon-tail".......I live for little stupid details like this.
How many remember this awesome cartoon we had growing up when even hollywood was lovin on hotrods.

Did some cleaning on the tall frame CycleTruck, put the dropstand on, put shock absorbing Schwinn bars on, and mocked up the fenders. I kinda like the green fenders on the black frame.

After chatting with @Mountain Trail Andy about a variation of a "boardtrack" bike I was sitting on my new Elgin while watching tv and started noticing the fit.
Decided to play around with positioning for a "dirt track" bike. Because of the nobby tires you know....
A few more adjustments may work to make this setup plausible.

Panaracer wide gravel tires look good on that Excelsior-built streamlined Elgin.
Worked on my Excelsior frame with water and 280-grit; revealing very little olive paint.

Thanks Archie! Wanted to go wider with the narrow rims but these are what I found at the LBS on the way home after buying the bike. Will just have to wear these out real quick & get 45c.

I fixed the flat on my '63 American Rat Bobber
I had to adjust my stand as so the apehangers wouldn't hit the ceiling rafters.
Note: my lawnmower is getting serviced, excuse the unmanicured lawn.
I replaced the 26inch front wheel with a 27 x 1 1/4 one. I didn't really care for the looks of it at first. But after taking it for a ride, it glides and tracks great.

Did you swap front wheels with your Varsity? Show us the Varsity with the fat front tire. :eek:
