Steens Lil Pal

[Jack's]

After identifying the bike I purchased it. The guy selling it was a hoarder and it had been sitting in a storage unit for some time.. The tecumseh on it isn't worth anything, but the frame is really straight. They have welded a skid pan to the front and bottom of the frame. This is ugly, but really has saved the frame. It has five inch go power wheels with old Firestone tires. I think the rear break might be Taco? The original had a scrub break. There are also jack shaft brackets welded on. This will be a fun restoration. :thumbsup:

Is that rear wheel lip cracked off?

Nice! :thumbsup:

Is that rear wheel lip cracked off?

Good eye on the wheel.:thumbsup: If you want that wheel fixed, I have a guy that does wheel repair for a living. He is great, but not cheap. He did the wheels on the "Bat Mobile".:thumbsup:

Yes. The rear wheel has a crack. I have a lead on a new one. Or I can put it behind the sprocket.

I'm starting to collect parts for the Pal build. Does someone know what style grips where used? There is limited info. Possibly the
Hunt-Wilde grips??

I have a old Steens parts cataloge. I will look to see what they offered. The grips kinda look like the grips on my Huffy, judging from the picture.

:thumbsup:Karen,

I also was looking at the coke bottle design. Please let me know what was original. Thanks

 

[capguncowboy]

Those huffy grips look a lot like the Gilson grips. Who made those? Odeon?

 

[Jack's]

I'm thinking a coke bottle.. Vintage look

Take a close look at where the cable comes outta the throttle control - those look like the same thing on Scottessy's Dart Cycle; you may ask him to weigh in.....

You are right.. What style are those? I bet those are hens teeth??:crying:

I'm also looking for a 5" Goodyear tire for the rear....

Good eye on the throttle.:thumbsup: I think KKK is looking for one of those. Nothing like that in the Steens book.

Is the tire like this??
