Sweeeeet!!!! love that old frame kinda looks like mine havent figured out if its a hawthorne, roadmaster, or what. anyway nice score on those forks, and the frame shes gunna be a looker.What brand are those tires? what do they run price wise?Tryin to decide if i want those or the white ones .
 
Those springer forks look cool, will you be using those? And what do you think of an in-frame tank? Man, I cannot wait to see how this bike turns out. It looks fantastic already.

Yes I will eventually install the springer and am bulding an inframe tank out of a baseball bat.
 
Nice work on the tank!

lol Good idea abt a baseball bat ! That would be all the volume I'd need for around town... I'm going to look into it.
Best
