Took the wheels to a collegue this morning, he straightened them out. I've done that once, but it wasn't a big succes, he's got more experience... Thanks, Ronald!
Then I had to put tires on them (probably gonna buy some slicks) and check the bike out. Then I got exited : )

So then I had to put on some handlebars, and I went for my initial idea of using cruiser-style handlebars. These were very very wide, I cut of about 6" on both sides. I'm happy so far.

I put on the high sissybar, but I think it really needs a low one. We'll see : )

looks great...

With the tank, fork and the big headlight it looks amazing.

Great work!!

The headlight mounted on there makes the bike look tough.

Thanks very much, guys!

Did some more bearing cleaning today (we're running out of used toothbrushes!), went bike-shopping and bought a crankset and a chain, both alloi-grey, nice combo. They didn't have the chrome seatpost I wanted, (just a simple 25,4 mm) but it's supposed to be there tomorrow.
Ofcourse I put the stuff on my bike immediately, but it's hardly rideable without a seat : )
I'm thinking about not doing the Saab-logo's on the tank, so the name doesn't make any sence. Bought two Thrasher-logo (with flames) stickers of eBay, hope they're here in time!

man, that is looking sick!!! looks mean.

by **Clothespin n** on Wed Mar 14, 2007 5:26 pm

That Chain / Crank / Ring combo is schweeeet!!!
I love the Brushed silver look it has.

This bike is quickly growing to be one of my Favourites!

I do like that the Saab logo is not going to be used.
all be it a cool Logo...I think the bike is starting to take on it's own
name!

and the bike doesn't remind me of the "Saab Fighter Jet"..or "The car".
I love the Silver accents.

can't wait to see more,

peace,
Kev.

LOL! I'm sorry, Rickster, good one, if you don't ask...
It's too far away, haha!
Thanks a bunch, guys! I'm starting to like this bike more and more myself : )
Just what I was thinking about the logo, Kev.

And although it looks awesome in it's nakedness, I think I have to put on some fenders (probably chome if I don't find a donor-bike soon) and a chainguard, cause it's always raining here. (Last few days are nice though)
I got the cheapest pedals and grips, and I only noticed yesterday that they match!
