Build For Grand-Son

Eldest Grandson Ethan likes to ride my 26″ wheeled bikes instead of his own 20″. He can ride the bigger bikes but I don’t know how safely he could stop or dis-mount in a hurry. I told him we’d look for a 24″ frame and build it for him.

I put out the word I was looking for a 24″ frame and a friend offered up one he found in his stash. Thanks Dave!

I’ve been told the bike is a Roadmaster. Here’s how we received it yesterday.

After cutting off the bent rusted in place fork.

Unbeknownst to me until I went to unload the above photos from the camera, the Grand-daughter had filmed us mocking up the bike.

Today we finished putting it together and he took it for a test ride. This fork is messed up so we’ll have to get another. The bike will be painted eventually.
