Re: @~"\@ At@mic Snake @~"\@ Update 12/1 Badge Art Opinion
I thought the snake badge with the other one painted on the seatpost tube would look sweet, like how the jc higgins had thiers painted there. so far its looking real nice.

Re: @~"\@ At@mic Snake @~"\@ Update 12/14 Update - Gettin' There
Got the front end back on and working on stem, bars and seat. Lots of decisions to make, but the one I did make was that I am going with the Shelby badge. I got it at Trexlertown and it cleaned up great. The light setup will partially block the head tube so i did not want to incur the expense of a new headbadge, so I am going to go with just a seat tube badge.

Re: @~"\@ At@mic Snake @~"\@ Update 12/19 Seat done!
The "Atomic Snake" gets a signature seat pan. Have to say that in all the bikes I have built this one has fought me the most. Every step of the way I think I get something done and something else crops up. Well, it is getting closer to being done.

Re: @~"\@ At@mic Snake @~"\@ Update 12/21 Bars n' Stem
I decided to go with a vintage 30's motobike stem that has almost all its original nickel plating and the bars are from???? the pile of handle bars from the back room. i honestly have no idea where they came from. Got the fork and front fender all wet sanded down to bare metal. i started on the controls, but lost steam as I have to pull the chainguard off and I need to get a couple of Euro twin cable clamps from the LBS used pile of parts.

Re: @~"\@ At@mic Snake @~"\@ Update 12/22 All hooked up!
Cables have been hooked up, hub adjusted, brake adjusted, I had to change the bars as theones I had on there were bent. I used a wider set of the same bars and it was a good thing as I get more room for my knees when I pedal.

As always, an awesome build, Joe, and a pleasure to sit back and watch develop. More specifically, this is a really cool looking pic! I love these close up shots! Someone ought to put together an album of just random "artsy" close ups like this; perhaps as a thread in the gallery. Moderators?

Finished this one up, took it for a quick spin after 22 inches of snow a day earlier it was 30 and sunny and little snow left on the street. The 8 speed, 22 tooth rear sprocket with 52 front provides a very wide ratio of gears good for climbing and cruising. Wide bars leave lots of room for the knees and a relatively upright riding position. Summer? Where are you? 8)
