thanks, everyone. not looking to get spendy for paint with this project. it's going to be a rat rod build with a stripped down 1948 CWC western flyer. picked up a dual springer fork with a disk brake bracket, a donated from my mad scientist gran son mag front wheel, a rebuild 62mm fat bike rear rim on a campy hub with a single speed freewheel with some fat franks for sneakers. i have an adapter for the big ass bottom bracket so i can use a modern alloy crankset. a 1941 wards hawthorne art deco stem with a pre war torrington u bar (both well patina'd) and a pre softened B67 will give me a place to sit.
