Indian Board Track Racer Tribute Charity Auction

[KeithSeymour]

Up for sale is my version of a 1916 Indian Board Track Racer with that "Barn Find" 100 year old patina. It features a 1955 Columbia frame with original patina. The custom aluminum tank, Monark style front springer fork and the heavy duty wheels were painted to match the original frame patina. With attention to detail, we have added a custom brass Hendee Manufacturing Co Indian head badge and Indian gas cap. Additionally, the seat has been hand covered with repurposed worn leather. The reds and golds contrast well with the darker accents from the patina look and are sure to turn heads everywhere you go.

I'm auctioning it off on ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to a charity that helps fight poverty called Empowering Action. (http://empoweringaction.org)

Thanks for the kind words, MotoMagz! The auction ends today and there's no longer a reserve so I appreciate you guys getting the word out to anyone that's interested in bidding.

Update: The winning bidder of the original auction has unfortunately had to back out due to unforeseen circumstances related to mass flooding from Hurricane Matthew. With that being said, please pray for him and his family during this difficult time.
I plan to offer the bike for sale once more starting 10/11/16 and ending Sunday (10/16/16). We are trying to raise $2500 for the cause (how much a poverty reduction program costs) through this sale but will take the best offer and will end the eBay auction if sold locally or on here. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
