Carl's Cycle Supply Born free five bike

Hi Everybody,  I am really honored to be a part of the builder invite segment of Born Free Five this year.<br />Last year at born free four, the bike that I built with the help of my dad, wife and a few friends helped me build.   The whole process of building the bike, traveling to born free four, winning best in show and then traveling to the mooneyes show in Japan was truly life changing and I am so thankful that I got to experience so much because of some bike that  I worked on.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwBfzFoPYl_kCQhbJvOBuOLLBRIoDEdM-sRZa9dnlDFqV8Xuv3_-Nrjbp3fA2tVr74UQiU4rwvcLu4ZQ-7yFFCdoZ5jlo70Qs1KdD270xJJuVWmclmiLnTUWvcNMvOyx-yoGacKqceAs/s1600/Picture+1548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwBfzFoPYl_kCQhbJvOBuOLLBRIoDEdM-sRZa9dnlDFqV8Xuv3_-Nrjbp3fA2tVr74UQiU4rwvcLu4ZQ-7yFFCdoZ5jlo70Qs1KdD270xJJuVWmclmiLnTUWvcNMvOyx-yoGacKqceAs/s320/Picture+1548.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>A lot of people have told me that-- "You have to top the born free 4 bike now" or "how are you going to defend your crown?"  I never expected to have a crown or have to defend anything, just getting picked to build a bike for the show was more than enough for me.   I just wanted to build a bike that I really loved,  I am glad that other people dug it.   The bike that I am building for Born free Five is not going to top the last one,  there is no way that the bike could, because the bike that our small crew is building and prepping for the event is a 1923 Harley Davidson in a half mile keystone chassis. There is no cool way to mount the headlight, because there isn't one, I cant make a cool brake set up because the bike doesn't have brakes,  the bike wont have a neat set of mufflers, because the pipes will be 14 inches long,  well you get the idea...  there isn't a lot of normal parts on the bike because its a race bike.  With that being said, the bike will be simple, clean and finished perfectly as well as  built to go fast.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkphNNnJ6yK_0-FKmcLopSIdat821UBP27TdxIcQi3k4JOAT0cXEawMBrn19OW8kJC5uZzG_SsXAGtuN2hUrhHB5gUDjbGxex-LtIIroV2v2A-S6UEBX9ncDwEkIPOfZRuurk_wXWQL0/s1600/brittneys+born+free+bike+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkphNNnJ6yK_0-FKmcLopSIdat821UBP27TdxIcQi3k4JOAT0cXEawMBrn19OW8kJC5uZzG_SsXAGtuN2hUrhHB5gUDjbGxex-LtIIroV2v2A-S6UEBX9ncDwEkIPOfZRuurk_wXWQL0/s320/brittneys+born+free+bike+003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is my wife's engagement ring.   I bought it for her after the 2011 Davenport meet from my friend Buzz K in Connecticut.  I thought about buying Brittney a ring,  but rings just don't appeal to me and thankfully they don't have much appeal to her, plus they are dangerous in and out of the shop.   I figured that she would get more enjoyment out of a motor that we could build her a bike around.  Ever since we started hanging out and spending time together she would tell me about her dreams of building a board track style excelsior or Harley and racing it at an AMCA Meet or doing exhibition runs with it.  I figured this would be a good start.  1923 is a good year to choose because the cylinders have a big base pattern and the cases are a little more narrow than later jds.   <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLbE6XuRZC5BSXns0ojqn1QI1jS0_hzuEbOTD4m_Wc2NBY28pzmwHnlRZlsq_5JWlGLwhjNNVNT1sToOPxKMqwn0b9Cao1KqS9c25AZWyzFA50h8Af7VdHr0uo0cR7XyOUvq3HRL4hto/s1600/brittney+on+dewey+sims+bike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLbE6XuRZC5BSXns0ojqn1QI1jS0_hzuEbOTD4m_Wc2NBY28pzmwHnlRZlsq_5JWlGLwhjNNVNT1sToOPxKMqwn0b9Cao1KqS9c25AZWyzFA50h8Af7VdHr0uo0cR7XyOUvq3HRL4hto/s320/brittney+on+dewey+sims+bike.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> My friend Mike L in Milwaukee has been building bikes since the seventies.  He has been into old board track racing bikes longer than I have been alive.  He makes all sorts of parts for them,  from forks, to frames to everything in between.   He already makes all of the castings for the frames and can put one together a lot quicker and cheaper than I can,  plus he has 10 different bikes to use as a pattern for making whatever type of chassis you'd want. We loaded up britt's motor and went to Milwaukee and tried out bikes,  here are some pics from the little vacation.Brittney said it was like getting a ring fit  lol.    Brittney is sitting on an original paint 1923 Harley Factory racer in this pic.  This is the chassis design that we ended up choosing to order.  It puts her in a slightly aggressive position, but she is still able to sit upright and in control .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I love the process of continuous Learning of the skills required and to be able to have a finished period bike at Born Free 5 next to all of the other prestigious builders is an honor and a dream come true.
