My DF at Deal's Gap several days ago. Just did a run to the recycling center with a load in the trailer.

It's tempting to chop up a China bike and build one. Any idea what is in the roll on the rear frame section? It seems too big to be a tool roll and too small for a tent. A yoga mat, maybe?

Don't know about yoga mats, good one, but gives me an idea about my shotgun for dove season. Let me check, back in a minute.

You know what would finish off the look of that DF Bobber....is a small springer front end. I wonder if one from an old Schwinn Stingray would work?

I have always loved the look of these. Are you still able to get them? It would be fun just to have to work on and ride to college on nice days.

Does anyone know what bag that is he has on the frame?
