I have had this piece for a while but finally got around to taking some pics of it. It is a great early soapbox derby racer. Shows some age but is a great looking peace. Almost folk art in look. “Rival Unchained” !!! Great name.
Still has last race banner attached. Class A race!
Cockpit is pretty cool too. Has a 60s auto type upholstery look. Very cool steering wheel as well.

Next on the list is to build another one without lugs. Plan on just doing some fillet brazing. Also want to tackle a fork (sorry for the Tange in the picture;).
Thanks to all my friends and family that supported my efforts!
Special thanks to Plum Grove Cyclery for their expert help, Campy frame tools and necessary build out parts. Could not have done it without them.
Special thanks to Rich Adams and Around Town Bicycles in Wilkes Barre PA. The have been very supportive and Rich was always willing to answer my emails.
I plan on doing a more verbose post about the whole experience soon…. stay tuned.
All and all I am pleased with the way it came out. Clean up and test ride remains!. Will write up a longer post later about lessons learned and thanks to all that supported this effort.
I was intrigued by David Smith when he did similar spays over found objects. These are simple studies of black spray paint on paper towels. I used a variety of wrenches and plan to add more found objects to the process.
