Good evening Caber’s!
I believe that it’s a good thing to have so many early post war bikes that you have to start naming them! Lmao! This one’s the Duke! Finally found some time to finish up the rear fender and get the seat pan bolted together for a test fit.

Still working on the '42 Rollfast. Got around to the wheels today

Before

After... The hubs cleaned up great with nice plating. Paint came out nice as well. I went a little light to preserve the pins

And cleaned up the seat... Went through the pedals and cleaned up the chain the other day. Just need to put it all back together and this one's ready to roll!

Dismantled the Supersport to the bare frame. Washed, compounded, polished and waxed. Still areas of rust on the top bar and forks.

Got my spokes in today. I laced up the Supersport's front wheel. Cross four pattern went well the first time.

Hopefully tomorrow I will true it up.
 
Yesterday I picked up what I'm guessing is a '62? AMF Roadmaster Skyrider! The seat post seemed really stuck. With no clamp and surviving a test drive, it wasn't a surprise. As it turned out, there's a bolt going through the top that goes to a wedge nut thing like a stem!. I loosened it a few turns tapped the bolt with a hammer, and it freed up! I guess I have a lot to learn!

Got this one rolling in 3rd gear earlier, just in time for a pic in the sun. Took it for a couple mile ride after I got a shifter and cable on. Still need to make another cable that will route a little better...this is a F&S Driegang wheelset I robbed off of another bike I was tired of looking at....since the wheels I had planned to use didn't work out.
