Apollo Uno (NEW bars update 3/6/2010)

[gowjobs]

Got my Apollo frame/fork,chainguard via FedEx Ground today, and threw some random parts at it to see what sticks.

The bars and wheels are definitely gone, and that crank is too long unless I swap to a longer fork. The BMX neck may stay, and that Honda Racing sprocket might remain onboard until I can find something with more style.

I'll lace this Shimano 3spd into a 20" hoop and figure out some kind of cool shifter for it. Dig the holes in that brake arm!

Love the fork on this one. It would seem to work the best.

A Sears rat-trap springer would look good on that.

I totally agree with you on that - now I just need to find one!

Scored some great super-narrow apes from a buddy, and have started stripping paint. Check it out.

Silhouette is MUCH better now.
