That thing looks awesome!!! The gas tank looks very 'correct' for the style of the bike!!

It needs a couple of old timey brass lanterns on the front.

Not yet Tom. I have to find a computer repair place to get them out of Photobuckets clutches to make sure it's done properly. My nephew suggested that I do that because he hasn't tried getting the photos back and he's concerned that they will disappear if done wrong. Lots of computer repair people around us but it will be another month or so until I get it done.

Thank you, Venice Motor Bikes. I do have a couple of reproduction brass headlights that are 18650 cell battery powered. I put one one on the bike but I need to have the bike on the ground so I can be sure they are aimed right before I install them both. I'll look for the photos and post them. I also have a couple of brass horns and I'll install one of them when I make up my mind which one. I'm going to measure the length of brass hose that I need to reach from the handle bars to the horn itself and order it today.

The gas tank took a couple of tries to get the size right.

Lights and horns.

It's good that you are back at it Steve.
Activity besides the crypto currency crap has been pretty slim. There is the Gent from Pennsylvania that is going to motorize a 50's Schwinn.
Cheers!

I have had that same thought, Tom. I looked forward to seeing if I could crash their party and and report them. I looked up the bulb and brass hose set up for the horns but they are now $185 U.S. which in Canadian dollars converts to $285, I'll have to wait until the tri car is finished and then buy one.

Pity about the horns Steve, either would, if anyone noticed the details lend a certain cashet.
Cheers
