'54 Jag...Finally, an UPDATE!

[KickBackCycles]

Since I quit the buildoff,
viewtopic.php?f=55&t=41296&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=54+jag , I've been taking my time on the build ( I'm lazy). So not much has gotten done within these last few weeks. But I did manage the clean up the wheels, and replace the freewheel, tires, and tubes. They look so good I decided they're post worthy so here they are...

The new freewheel looks better than the old bent up one beside it.
And I really like the Schwinn Brick knockoffs.

I still haven't got around to clearing the frame because I'm having some trouble with pinstriping the fork, and the paint on the chainguard sucks so I had to sand it down and paint it again. Now I'm waiting for it to dry to see if its ready for the decals.

I haven't done anything different to the frame yet. Just re-posting these pics to show how far I am on the build. I got tired of my post just having pics of the wheels. I'm going to get pics of the chainguard Friday.

That choice of color and paint just blows me away. The decals add a very pro touch.

Hey KickBackBikes,

Glad to see you working on it again.
I really enjoyed it during the RRBoff6.

I agree with xddorox, the paint looks great
It's seems almost iridescent,
and the decals accent it nicely

Good Luck

Nice choice of colour and the decals look great.

Got one question for you, how do you keep your walls so clean when you're spraying paint?

Looking forward to seeing this done, no pressure though.

Cheers Jonnie

i like the those tires man they look nice with thats brick tread ...you bought them on line or LBS ???
and i agree the color choice with the white decals does look real sharp.

Maybe there is a special paint on the walls? Or the paint is very heavy and it falls to the floor.

I bought them on http://luxlow.com/ they have some pretty good parts and some cool bikes!

Here's the chainguard with the decals applied.



And here's the headlight ( still taped for the clearcoat).

If it is special paint, where can I buy some? I want to put some on my walls so when the kids start throwing food around it doesn't stick.

BTW The paint on the chaingaurd etc. really looks nice. You get a better idea in the close ups. Great choice.

Cheers Jonnie

NICE PAINT RATTER!! SO IS THAT THE CHAINGUARD I NEED FOR MY JAGUAR?!? CHECK IT OUT IT'S IN THE BUILDS SECTION. PEACE

That's not my shop. Its my dads classroom, there's a paintbooth I use there at his school.
And my "shop" is my garage and basement (for when its hot). I wish they were half as organized as that place!
I thought the decals turned out pretty good on the chainguard. Since this bike is the first time I've used them. And I still have to pinstripe which will hopefully turn out good. I haven't pinstriped before either. I hope I don't ruin it.
