What bike did you work on today?

-
This morning, a chilly ride. But at least I can tell how fast I’m going now with my Speedo on Higginstein. Now I can calculate wind chill.

Finally got a better drop center front wheel candidate for the 36 crusty Huffy. (thanks @palepainter!) It will replace the red/white one on there now. Had to wire wheel it a bit then rust it up over the last couple days, then hit it with some old used grease/WD-40 combo to help match the darker color. I'll probably finish it with a matte clear coat so that it doesn't rub off. The bike will be pretty much finished after this.

Was hoping to have it complete today but need some misc. hardware before running cables/housing & bar tape. 🙄
Worked up an appetite so ran & got a couple hotdogs from Marco's!

Hot dog wrapped in bacon, grilled on the skillet with mustard, ketchup, mayo, onions, pinto beans, cheese & tomato with marinated grilled chiles on the side. In the top 3 hotdogs I've ever had!🤓

Stunning bike!
 
Nice weather today, so I started cleaning up a 1957 Roadmaster Flying Falcon I've had for a year or so. It could be tedious, but there's satisfaction in getting the chrome to shine again, especially when it hasn't been cleaned in probably 50 years. I didn't get it finished, but at least it's a start.
