Did a test fit with a 700c wheel and sourced an 8 speed internal for the rear wheel. Got a couple of parts to find but I'll be ready to tear down and paint for a solid touring rig rebuild.

Covered in housepaint and kitted out with a homemade tank and an optional rear rack. It'll make a really cool rider after a good repaint and parts installation. I reckon this one ought to be blue as I've got a red motobike already.

Newest addition to the stable, a 1920 Shapleigh hardware company Shapleigh special bicycle. Manufactured by the hardware company in one of the three factories At their highpoint they were the largest hardware supplier in the Midwest and possibly the country

But like many times in my life, I decided it wasn't too bad. I've had this bike too long not to finish it. I painted it one of my favorite colors and feel like I've finally done it justice.

(1 of 2)From start to dang near finished (just need to put fenders on it) here's my 1935 western Flyer Motobike Pacer. I picked up this frame about 7 years ago outside of Red Oak Iowa from a barn, the farmer that sold it to me was laughing as he did it. I reckon he presumed it too far gone to save.

So with all that mess I'd like to encourage yall to not be afraid of doing mechanical restoration on old bikes. This is roughly a 50 Hiawatha tank bike and if I go more in depth well, I'll have one heck of a project.

This Bike has suffered. Its been rode hard, beat up and left to rot, then some well meaning(probably) person covered it in spray paint and left it to further degrade. I reckon the only good thing about cheap spray paint was that in this case it was in fact a band aid fix.

Welp I guess the more I think about it the more I like it. This bike will be getting a nice restoration in the color of Evergreen with a John deere green lettering and white background on the hanging tank. Ive been itching to dust off the pinstriping kit and I believe I'll do this one right.

Early 50s(?) Monark Rocket Super Deluxe, needs the correct light, some metal shaping and some grease. A set of matching wheels would be a good idea too. But im excited for this old girl to be added into the stable.

Came home two cool bikes, a 37 Elgin Motobike and a 40s ladies monark rocket. They both need some metal persuasion to get back into shape but I'm excited to get both back rolling. The Elgin will get a Full restoration and the rocket will simply be mechanical.

I took her out for another spin despite the front wheel needing some attention and tires that definitely need replacing. Im cautiously dating the bike as mid 70s based on the parts and assuming the older bits are just because they had them.

Here's a beautiful piece of history, hailing from the times of Hammer and Sickle, MCcarthyism and Sputnik influenced decor. This is an XB3 with a 3 speed drive train, 27 inch tires and a nice bit of beautiful lugwork.

Here's a beautiful example of a 1953 Jc higgins deluxe women's bike. From the front we've got the beehive springer to the Troxel seat(removed for recover) to those super cool skirtgaurds and rear chrome reflector.

Maybe it was the cheap tires and tubes. Maybe it pinched it being careless. Either way, I'm going to have to do a full teardown and rebuild on this bike. Stay tuned for obscure bike knowledge and cool pics of old stuff.

Don't mind the messy shop but ive been a busy woman lately. Here's my long overdue project finally being finished. Albeit as a schwinn motobike clone but finished nonetheless. Sometimes you gotta improvise. Still a cool bike.
