Re: El Guapo

I'm loving everything about this build! Where did you find the Headbadge? I've been trying to find one similar to that but its the female calavera with a big hat w/flowers. Would also like to know what it is that you used on your pedals, looks nice!
 
Re: El Guapo

Thanks everybody,Im really having fun with it. I found a little shop here that has a bunch of day of the dead stuff.The pedal end caps are little pins. I just took the needle part out and JB weld did the rest. I also picked up a deck of day of the dead cards. The skulls you see in the pedals are the borders from the cards. The headbadge came from a little flea market here in Houston. I was going to try and heat it up in the oven and try to form it to the head tube but I started thinking it may warp the facial features.
