Early 1949 Road Master bike . This is my entry to the Rat Rod bikes build off . I’m not quite finished but it’s close . I changed out the wheels due to major paint damage on the original wheels . I decided on a chrome chain and a Mag Chain ring instead of the boring stock Roadmaster one.

05/30/2024

I purchased this Road Master bike as a box of parts as you see here a couple of years ago . I finally decided it’s time to build the bike .

1930s Hawthorne bike . This thing has been a beast to work on but it’s finally sorted yet again .

04/16/2024

Did some rework on this 1939 Elgin with a Nexus 3 speed resto rod bike. I had to the change the crank arms on this bike back to dog leg cranks for clearance . It’s a great conversion for a rider . It’s also a witch theme bike . More work to do on the theme though .

Happy Saint Patrick’s day.

Raleigh wipe down and test clean chrome in a few places . Plus chain guard alignment.

03/10/2024

This is my latest find that I didn’t find myself .
I believe it’s a late 1930s Raleigh road bike ??? I believe the bars should be flipped over and it should have a leather brooks road bike seat . I’m still trying to confirm my hunch on this . I just wiped the bike down and did a few test clean spots on the chrome .
