The frame isn't the tricky part ... sourcing all the parts that work with the pre-war frames is a black art unto itself - and there are none better at this arcane black magic than Mister Bonds. I merely dabble and already spend ungodly bits of time and funds on the craft
RUN AWAY!Here's a pic of some of the kit used for this build:

Still rolling, pic from earlier this month on a trip up the ol Railroad Grade.
That is very nice. and after building one myself and speaking with alan for help i can tell you it is really hard to make one that good.
I think AB is now working on a orange atom to follow that one. Great bike, built bu a legend, a peice of history in the making. glad its being used.
Happy trails.

Pete,
Alan did indeed just paint another frame Orange - but the 1938 bomber below was the follow up to the paint job on my DX - the color just POPS.
Here's both of them on the way to a Repack run from before Alan moved to AZ ;-)
I am waiting for some new pics from Alan to add that atom hybrid to his site.

The Orange 1938 now belongs to a mate of mine, we went for a little klunk last Sunday.
The 38 is a C model with Morrow coaster and T1200 fork painted to match the frame - canti studs brazed by Otis Guy - with late 70s vintage Dia Compe touring cantis. That's a 54T TA track ring in front ;-)
nice rack!
