What does your current project look like now?

[Edward Stately]

Got her painted and partially back together for 1 last mock-up before the fenders, seat, new grips rear rack and a pair of saddlebags in back and a leather tool bag up front. It's cloudy so the pictures are a bit darker then in person.

I finally finished my childhood bike right down to the STP seat sticker

Converting a 1967 fenderless 3 speed into a wantobe Coppertone 3 speed Krate just for fun. Yes, I know they never made a 3 speed coppertone krate. The crazy things we do when we are retired

I’ve been piecing this one together for about 6 months. Finding appropriately patina’d parts here and there. I just about got it but do still intend to put a set of black enameled rain gutter fenders and a rack on it. I did ride it for the fist time yesterday. Not bad

A quick update: My latest project, the 50 SC-X seems to be in a holding pattern. The temperatures are just not friendly for paint right now!!

The fender light is working!
I don't think I'm the first person to mess with this bike. There was white paint all over the place inside.

I got this bike a little over a week ago and didn’t know what I was going to do to it, I had no thoughts of fixing it up but I got a wild hare and it’s becoming a very nice daily rider. It came with a butterfly kickstand but I took it off and put a center stand on it.

Before

and now minus it still needs an age appropriate seat and chain guard as well as a few other things

the next set of pictures the bike should all be ready to be a daily rider or tear it back down and get to the original paint and pinstripes. Eventually it will be blue and even more transformed.

Here’s another one that I have a long ways to go on still, but it rides like a dream just how it is. Now all I have to do is accessorize it quite a bit.

This got to my house at 8pm today. I don't know why UPS keeps arriving at such a late hour. Oh, well. I stripped the bike down to its frame. I used this product that I wish I had found years ago. It is called Starbrite Ultimate aluminum cleaner/restorer. I wasn't sure if it would work. Wow I was surprised. It cleaned that frame as if I had used a buffing wheel on it for hours. You have to leave the product on for 10-15 minutes and you have to leave it wet. You have to make sure that it doesn't drip or it will leave clean lines! After the 10 minutes or so you raise it off with water. It helps if you use a Scott pad to get out any tough grime. I used it twice. After the last wash I put Mothers polish on it. Wow it looks great without having to buff it. I will be buffing tomorrow but this product reduced the time it takes to clean a 83 year old frame.

Still need to steel wool the fender a little more and I am missing several key parts. Today I managed to install a New Departure 2 speed hub, and a new skip tooth crank. Hopefully by next week it should be done. Can't wait to ride it.
