Hello.
I brought this bike about mid way through last year off a guy at work.
The original plan was to build it up original but the more I looked at it the more I found wrong. At some point the rear wheel has been changed to a drum brake and in the process they have gas axed the drop out off to make it fit. I was going to make a new drop out and weld it in place but checking everything over realised the whole frame was twisted and given most of it had been rewelded have decided to make a completely new frame.
My neighbor had an old home made 3/4 inch tube bender under his house.
It was rough but cleaned up alright. Ive just completed the the bending of the frame sides. Next im going to make up the gussets then start welding!
Im also striping down the 3 hp B and S for a rebuild. I found a guy on Ebay with repro. decal sets. Are these new vinal decals good? Do they look like the originals?
Andy.
