So, It's been about 3 months now and I really like this bike!
But, I have had a few of the normal problems. Bolts coming loose and such.
If you get the repro Monarch double spring fork use the RED loctite. Those bolts are expensive and hard to find.
The frame is a 1940 Elgin and it is long and the ride is much better and more stable than my previous creation. The rear cruiser brake hub with the flange attached to make it easier to mount a drive sprocket folded up on me so I changed it out with the other one I had that had been used a year longer and it's still working fine. I will have to take the hub apart and see if I can fix it.
