Hiawatha Board Track build

I am working on it a little at a time. Right now I am working on the details, and collecting all of the little pieces that I want to add on. I already have the paint scheme thought out (keeping original paint on the bike. Just painting motor and new components). I'm waiting for a warm day to get into it. And the new hubs will be on order come next Tuesday. Thanks for the compliment. I am really proud of this bike. The guy I bought it from had it in the back corner of his shop waiting to be cleaned up. It has been a pleasure to recondition it a little, and make it into this.

Thanks much.

Nice... Keep on Keepin' on with it! I like the black Columbia in your album as well...
 
Thanks Mountainman. I agree that 13 is way to big. I drew up the new concept design this weekend, it's some pin striping and a smaller number 13 over a spade. Much cleaner. And a little more my style. I was thinking about some circle number plates for the front fork.

The bike is turning out pretty low profile which is ok. I don't like to turn heads with flash. People will notice this bike on its own. But I really love the look of the old board track bikes all numbered up and getting dirty on the wood.
I am not to worried about the cops. Our town is so bike friendly, we have something like 100 miles of bike paths and bike lanes through out our little city. And the city is all about alternative means of transportation. So I would imagine that the Police won't mess with me all to much.

Thanks again for the compliments. I appreciate you checking out my project.
 
So it looks like flickr only allows so much upload per month. So here is a new link for the final pics of the build. The wheels will be on order Monday. And the paint should be done this weekend. Everything is coming together.

Thanks Spunout. I am glad you are feeling what I am doing. I think it should definitely think it will be kick butt-cheeks!
