This is my entry :mrgreen: . The name came from my mock up build and the wife saw it and said " It's a bike once it has wheels on it and that's number nine.....don't you think you have enough bikes?" And #9 was born.

Okay, where did you get a threadless fork that looks like that?

Maybe you're playing tricks on us. :wink:
 
Nice contrast

The orange rims and black spokes look awesome.

Reminds me of some '70s factory hot rods with orange stripes! Just looks cool.

those Nashbar 3spd nexus's are showin up all over.

I wish they were the Nashbar 3speed wheels. They're just a single speed coaster brake wheel set I had left over from my Norco.
Thanks for the compliments guys! :mrgreen:
 
That looks too mutch like what I had planned for my build off bike. Didn't you see my concept drawing a couple months ago? ( ha ha, im just playing) Well luckely I hadnt painted my frame yet, because now im going to have to figure out a new color sceem. Darn, my OCD! :mrgreen:
 
UPDATE

Sorry guys, not keeping the yellow...it was a 50 mph paint job and I have something else in mind. The wheels are done! Found some nice tires at a local LBS with a tread pattern that goes with my inspiration.
