alright, i'm done with it till after the buildoff.
3 speed shifters installed. i used some of an after market suntour, a small 8 ball and the top of an old canada pacific(railroad) fire extinguiser.

rides like a dream.

One of the best I´ve seen lately!
In my humble opinion I would do only two things on her:
1- Loose the tank/sheet.
2- Paint front spokes golden.

You have inspired me to start my next build,
this bike has giving me so many good ideas and for that I thank you kindly sir!

[badmuller]

C L !!!!

Matching paint for the spokes? ,yes!(maybe paint the tank insert the same too).

now give us some more of "skull-o sis"

[stretch]

turned out awesome! looks pretty done to me!

[XC204]

Looks way nice! Check out the cover of Hot Rod mag. Augest issue car on cover has matching wheels. http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/ ... index.html

That's absolutely devastating. (You know, in a good way)

thx for the kind words guys.

oh i'm digging the sheet metal, i wanna spend some time practicing my pinstriping skills.
that being said, its easily removed/swapped out

still not 100% committed to the color sceme, but it's here for a little while.
matching spokes is a must.

i do like the gold and blue together on that hot rod, but i think the white walls will set it off.

i know where i can get a pair of 3" felt white walls, i just have to make the hour drive.

May I ask what triple trees you used? I've been looking for a set of them with the dual clamps on them and haven't had much luck.

[icyuod2]

canadian tire stores here in canada have a cheap line of bicycles made for the company (super cycle)
those triple tree's are from a cheap full suspention 24" supercycle i picked up for $10 on kijiji
(used the rims for a previous build and held on to the triple tree's)


the forks themselves are just stainless tube i picked up from the local metal superstore.

I think this thing looks killer as is. It's ratty as heck and you know it'll stop people in thier tracks for a look. I like the stickers on the rear wheel the most.

[shifterbrains]

This build is amazing! Absolutely friggin' amazing!
Great job!

[zoso]

I like the black, gold and silver combo. I agree, gold spokes in the front would be sweet. The plate brackets (the "tank" plate) might be cool gold too. I'm digging this bike

[Half Link]

WOW!! Very cool build! It came out amazing and what a great idea!!

[icyuod2]

thx guys, and thx for the suggestions. i've been sourcing out more old car stickers. i just need to find ones small enough.

i'd like to eventually give the sheet metal an old school cascar/stock car style number/sponsers. faded and scratched up. then i'll probably cake it in stickers.
