I got this frame a little while back for a really good price. It came with a rear wheel, plus the fenders and chain guard, which I sold to help others with their projects. I knew this was never going to be worth restoring properly, but could definitely see utility in the chassis. So, one random front wheel, a pair of old Carlisle Indian-head tires I had laying around, and an H35 side popper from a $30 Ariens snowblower later, and I’m about this far with it. So far, I’m money ahead of where I started, and if I play my cards right, think I can finish it for better than free.
Ideas moving forward… I’ve got the old drum brake assembly, but it’s a bit shabby and missing it’s arm. Might be better off using a clutch brake. I’m planning on using an off the shelf 12” universal seat, but mount it in such a way as to not modify the frame. Planning to paint it a cool retro aqua color with white accents. Should look really cool!
