The Mad Plaidr! Update 5/24 Everything but the bag pipes!

Postby G_rod32 on Fri May 04, 2012 10:42 pm

Put the cups in the headset and bottom bracket and reupholstered the seat today, No before picture but the seat was a rusty parts pile and I pieced it together. It's a start!

I'm still thinking of a catchy title!

Looks like a good frame to start with for sure! I love how the rear end on those curve the way they do :)

That is a cool frame for the "No Name" bike.

Yea, but it's a great start. You can never go wrong starting with a CWC frame! Robert

Nah, morning has nothing to do with it; it really is funny.

Nice start. How much of that material do you have? Fenders wrapped in it would be cool.

Haha, Name it what you want man its your bike, just the first thing that popped in my head. The plaid fenders sounds pretty cool, reminds me of the "old navy" Electras from a while back though Mad Argyle'r doesnt have the same ring to it :lol: Love the frame by the way ... and the plaid :wink:

The more CWC's the better. I already built mine, The Cuyahoga Crusader, but I think a Cleveland themed name of some kind would be cool. Do you know what year your bike is?
