Not really an update but I thought I'd post it anyways. I usually start my day with some warm up sketches, and I figured why not do one of my build off bike. I ended up taking it a little further than a typical warm up sketch. Also there isn't a particular reason Dracula is riding it, he just happened to be the first character that popped into my head.

i would like that on a tshirt please!

wow this is probably one of the most ingenious bikes ive ever seen...cant wait to see it finished

[stretch]

thats a great drawings! i think it should go on the tank!

Well, I think I decided on a color. Originally I was planning on using navy blue, but I decided that I wanted something lighter. I didn't have much luck finding a lighter blue that I liked. However I already had a can of Rustoleum 'Herbal Green' and it is just what i was looking for. The only parts that will get painted are the rims and some of the detail on the tank.

The color looks a little different than the pictures but it gives you a pretty good idea.

really digging the color...huge fan of the more natural based tones like that.

cool ideas. I like the alternative shifter. Like some of the hidden latches and stealth controls you see on modern hotrods.

for some reason im wanting mint ice cream now
all joking aside looks good and glad to see some different colors.....i think theyre asking for some pinstripes though.....

Karfer- The rim is an Electra one.

Sensor- Mint ice cream is a perfect description for the color. I'm planning on trying to do the stripping on the tank and I was thinking orange would be a nice compliment. I'd love to do it on the wheels, but I'm not sure I have the skill to pull it off.

[sensor]

dont give me that!!! ive seen your paintings and other art you know you could

[karfer67]

sensor u know tossing lines on wheels is a whole nother ball game

[cman]

Maybe try the Sharpie marker technique. The B6 I bought had that done in black and it doesn't look bad. They make them in orange.
