During the ongoing search for cool parts on Saturday I stopprd by a local thrift store. I was looking for a cream colored purse to cut apart and cover my seat with. After a bit of digging around in the Texas humidity my wife pulled the plug on me. On the way out the door the owner asked what was I looking for. When I (6'1" and 330 pounds) said I was looking for a purse, I had her full attention I then let her know why I was looking for said "man bag". She told me she was going to Austin for the rest of the weekend and her sister (who has an upholstery shop) lives there too.

Anywhos, thrift lady called me this morning, she got me a full yard of cream colored "pleather" for $15.00. That is what I call service. I have enough cream to do 3-4 seats and a few sets of grips.

Man,that's a great looking bike It's easy to see the love you are putting into this build. I've never met your Mom or your Wife but I am sure they are very pleased Bravo

I have seat issues. I think I'll leave the recover job up to my 12 year old. I'm sure he can't do any worse that what I did tonight. I bet I removed 200 staples getting this far. I guess I needed that basket weaving 101 class that my high school advisor recommended.

bolted the seat on this morning

Nice, really like the colors on this bike

I prefer the black. A guy did some similar colors last year, but his was a boy's frame. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a259/ ... e_30_b.jpg

Maybe the "Momma's Boy" theme works better with some lighter colors on it.

What a great bike and story.
What's left on this build?

Really like your build! The name caught my attention. My mom was 56 when she passed 3 years ago. Was thinking about putting "Momma's Boy" or "Mama's Boy" on the trunk of my '64 Impala. I took her for granted when she was here. Now I drive by the cemetery on my way home from work and say "love you, Mom" because I know she can hear me and is watching over me. Your mom would be proud of that bike!

Great tribute bike to your mom! Who ended up finishing the seat--you or your son?

Nice color choice and combo. Refreshing to see a girl's frame get some attention.

I ended up doing the seat again, looks identicle as the first time, I guess it should look that way.

Today has been kind of a strange day here in the Hood. Tinkered around in the barn for a bit, looked at my other projects and finally decided to ride Momma's Boy. I can't think of any other way to say it, it rides like a cloud. Little effort is required to pedal, the bars are tipped up and wide enough to lay my wrists on the grips. Even the saddle is comfy. My mom would love this bike, I am proud of what I have done.
