What bike did you work on today?

[Guest2]

Unboxed & roughly put together (so I can move it around) my '53 Meteor...
Clean/grease as soon as time allows. Got the fenders, crank/sprocket, & pedals too, but not pictured yet.
Tubes & tires will be here Friday
Thanks @tacochris for the sale!

Its a killer foundation for an awesome patina cruiser. If i didnt have so many i certainly would have loved it!

Got my 1948 Monark super deluxe from @tacochris today! It rides okay for what it is. Now I’m on the hunt for the correct seat, 30” or wider handlebars, and a correct set of wheels. Maybe a nicer set of pedals? I don’t know. I absolutely love how this bike looks! View attachment 1677311View attachment 1677312View attachment 1677313

Its gonna make a really awesome bike. Dont forget, the original owner from 1948 carved his name and date of purchase inside the tank!

I remember. I took the tank apart to see it for myself.

I had on similar to this. Mine was a '51, and I miss it. Sold it to a Portlander that has it hidden.

Put a different front sprocket on and a rack.....you know, so that no pizza is left behind!

Oh, cleaned, oiled, and added an odometer too!
It appears to be swaged together so I didn't pry, but has anyone found a quicker way to run these back....other than the Ferris Beuller method?

Got El Rojo back in the stand today. Cleaned, polished and waxed the frame, serviced the Torrington A pedals, cleaned and polished the sprocket/crank, repacked the BB and greased and installed the springer. Still need to clean up the front wheel, service hubs and check light and horn and we'll be back on the streets.

Judging from the pedal blocks as well as the moving parts this bike doesn't have many miles

Cleaned up nicely!

That’s a shame. These bikes are always best ridden not hidden.

Painted La Fugazi yesterday. The finish is pretty decent considering it is a rattle can job. I still have the fenders and chain guard to finish and I’ve never masked for stripes or detail before. Any tips on the best method to mask out the white raised parts on the chain guard would be highly appreciated.
