no detecting, winter project
 bought a cruiser bike and tried to make it look like it was a boardtracker from the 1910's. just need to make a new motor bracket. got it to 38 mph, it was a little unnerving! the gray bike is the before pic, I got them mixed sorry.

WOW!!!
You did a great job colorado1.
Most people never heard of this sport, here is a good article about it called "Thrills And Funerals".

Some of the originals go for a decent amount of money.
Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate that. it's one of those project you never get completely done. I've been putting patina on all the chrome parts. lots of people have made offers and wanted it. I may have to make another. dang expensive though!
