New project (sort of)...

[ratdaddy]

here is the bike I was going to build in RRBBO2. I finally have some time and some parts to get going on it. It's a Murray Monterey I got from Coach J (my MidMo connections).

Jeremy also sent me the fenders from his JC Higgins build. They are ginormous. I put the 24" rims from my WallyWorld special on it with some 24x3 Kenda Flames. Any wider tires wouldn't have fit between the stays.

I was kinda surprised at the amount of room I still have. I have a pair of Nirve triple tree forks and wide bars that would look sweet, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to mount a fender in the forks. I like the full wrap fenders. Whaddya think, regular forks or triple tree's?

I was going to paint it HOK creamcyle orange with cream accents, but now I'm not sure. I'm not too interested in painting the rims cream like I was originally because the spokes are black and the rim is red. I still want to do the accents like they are on the fenders now.

Any ideas on color? I was thinking red oxide primer with cream accents. Anything that would go with the red rims.

Looks good. Try drilling holes in fender struts by the axle so the fenders can sit lower.

i think red oxide primer would look awesome, what about and an off-white color with dark grey accents?

red and cream sound like a good color combo too.

my roommate had a murray monterey, he was so sick with the bike he through it in the garbage, when he told me about it i scrambled to grab it, but the garbage man already came......later on he regretted it
