Man, this thread sure makes the lunch break better!

One question pertinent to the thread: what's the back wheel on the bike below? Automotive Weld/Centerline/similar, or an actual motorcycle wheel? Whatever it is, I like it.

Let's keep this thread rolling!

The wheel halves bolt together, vs. being riveted. It's an automotive 15 x 3 Cragar Quick Trick wheel - same ones as Gary Hetrick and Dick Allen used. If I remember the article right on that bike, the wheel was actually set up by Kosman for it. The bike was from Oregon.

I saved the mag with that bike in it and on the cover (Jan 1974 Custom Chopper)
A stand out IMHO.
Rear wheel is a Cragar "adapted by Buzzy at Cycle Mart"

Century Springer, What a BIKE!

Gotta be my favourite Frisco style bike. Ness and Barry Cooney both had a hand in this one. Pretty high tech stuff for the time.. Here's the full article, Custom Chopper, January 1974.

Thanks for posting that!
It would take me an hour to do that.
Do you put the scans on photobucket or can you just scan and post here somehow?
