What bike did you work on today?

-
Today's project 41 Planes & Trains, not sure if these rims are from the bike because came with a lot of mix bikes & parts, these rims were on a Middle weight but thought the might have been on this bike originally and seems like the 2 or 3 OG DX's with this guard were Planes & Trains and had cream drop centers. done for now but bike will probably change. and sense tires are getting hard to get I wanted to try out these new different brand bricks that I picked up a few pairs of, they look and ride good!

This week I began my spring cleaning of the basement. That also meant cleaning and tuning up all of the bikes for show and riding season.

I got these two done. 1961 Monark and 1964 Firestone, both 100% done! On to the Silver Jet’s and finally the Radiobike’s.

After years of having this 1936 CWC roadster and not knowing how i wanted to build it, i got inspired yesterday and did a full over-haul on it and turned it into a fantasy period delivery bike. I wish i had a period-correct double dot Pepsi crate but this one will have to do.
Added a 40’s era crank and sprocket setup, adding a set of drop center/ND wheels i had, some spare duros and a killer seat.
The ladies Torrington bars must go as they are wicked narrow and hit my knees on turns.
Even found some original pin-striping!

That is a whole lot of tire under those fenders. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I like the new and improved version.
