Great bike and nice use of the early Redline double clamp. I pulled a complete 76 out of a flea market with just about the same set up. Should of kept that one!

SUHWEEEEET!!!!! I had one of those when I lived out in Cali. I got it from a Police Auction real cheap. The entire bike had been spray painted silver, tires, seat, EVERYHING LOL. Wish I still had that bike, but it got stolen after i moved back to Florida.

Wow....! I'd like to see what you build when you're healthy!

A '75 and a '76...very nice!

that is SO sick, I would love to own this!

Thanks for the + feedback!

My hands and wrists are sprained so I only hand tightened the bike down . The chain must have gotten loose when I put it in the stand? Riding a loose chain with Addicks sprockets spells disaster!

Maybe next year I'll build my '77 and '78? unsure.gif

Actually for storage you would want to leave it loose on an Addicks other wise the tension could cause the sproket to warp if your chain track wasn't perfect
76 Mongeese
Wow! That's some nice slappin' together you did there!

Awesome Redline, the stem and motomags are sick on that!

Feel free to injure yourself more often and spend your recovery time building more Squarebacks LOL!

That bike rocks!

Squarebacks are the only bike I like as much as first gen. Mongeese...

Very sweet build my brother, very, very sweet!
