then it will look just like Multipass's bike


Ironically enough, I've been looking at this bike and thinking that I need to do my '67 Schwinn cantilever frame in flat black LOL !!

I like what you've done with this bike Steve, as Clothespin "n" has pointed out, it's clean and simple. Maybe the Bauhaus is exerting subliminal control over your builds :mrgreen:

Not really sure about the speedo either. Thinking of taking it off and painting the neck and the headlight bracket flat black.


Maybe swapping the stem for one with less rise and more forward reach would give the look you're after? The tall stem and speedo - IMHO - work against the long, low look of the rest of the bike.

-Mp

BTW - I need a T-Shirt! I'll be emailing you 'bout that very soon.

Steve,
you have done yourself,and Huffy Proud.
without a word of hesitation I can Honestly say;
"I love the finish look of your Bike"
I know you said that "this whole Bike Building thing is new to me"
but it doesn't show here!

very nice job,
I'd feel pretty good "Rollin down the strip" on that bike myself!


did I mention "I love those tires" :lol:

Cool bike - as is. First idea is often the best. Don't think too much about changes. Is this a Union headlight? And a wireless speedo? :D
