I've been following your build for quite a while. I can't wait to hear how the bike rides.
The guy with the Elgin has an Indian tribute bike that is pretty darn sweet!

As always Harry you win my appericiation for an intelligent mind,you are right! Handle Bar Stems pretty ingenious, but here is another and kinda makes me think they're either vintage or the bike is owned by the same guy?this one is located on Ebay under Antique Bicycle

Yeah I must admit I had thought of using those MTB handlebar extensions you can get to rest your elbows on (much like on triathlon bikes) to make a BTR style set of bars, but had never thought of using stems, brilliant idea and one I plan on stealing in the future. Thanks Truckd

I live in a Gated Community and attended our annual yearly Thanksgiving Day Dinner held at our Cub House, I sat with some of my Neighbors(also close friends) and shared with them about my M/B's and the Mngr. who was making his rounds stopped at our table, was quit for a moment while I explained a little about the 1911 Indian Tribute and the recent work I'd done to it when the Mngr. made the comment ABRUPTLY! "You can't ride that in this Community" I explained that they were Street Legal and that it would be registered and licensed with the D.M.V, well today I recieved this and also found out that the other Motorcyclist's living in our community recieved one as well, I think I smell a discrimination Lawsuite Brewing! apparently this @$$^%#@& was not paying attention to what I said so I dropped off a Booklet from the D.M.V with the information concerning M/B's with a Neighbor who owns six vintage motorcyles, he kinda snatched it out of my hand and said "I'll read it later" my reply was that if he was smart he'd read it sooner rather then later, my Neighbor and I just laughed and walked out of the office.

For anyone interested, those coat guards (skirt guards) in back are from an Elgin ladies bike made from the mid 1930's to the early 1940's. This guy likes are deco stuff. So do I.

SilverBear that is one sharp bike the Deco theme sets it off!, Ludwig & CF, we found out for sure that only the motorcyclist's recieved them, no one in our community rides mini bikes,gokarts,motorized scooters,mopeds exc.exc. the mngrs will not even allow bicycles to be ridden near or in front of the club house, rules state that you must dismount your bicycles at 100 ft perimiter around the club house, although this is a very safe community to live in there are some really bumb *(&^%- rules.
