OH HO! Nice Vince!
What are you using for tires?

 

[alvinm]

These are the same tires that come on the Indy (red bike).

A little preview of my new build.

Sweet job so far....

I almost forgot the little lady's Electra.....

 

[alvinm]

Just added a b135 to the straight 8..Nice and springy.

Very cool combination, never seen an old-style seat like that work on a new-style Electra before. But it only works because the springs are black I think, if all springs were chrome it would have clashed with the frame for sure. Perhaps paint the bottom seatsprings black too ?

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Naw, it matches the seat post/sprocket/forks just fine! 8)
Nice job!

alvnm,
I'm LOVIN' your Straight 8, nice combo of black/white/chrome. Throw a matching Fatti-O on the front and roll 'Phat' baby!

You mean like this? lol

Can I get everyone's opinion on this look? Picture the rear tire being the same as the front. I've been kicking around this idea for a while, anyone like this look?

I like it a lot. Are you changing the wheel aswell, cause I like the black rims with the chrome spokes. Nice Work. I like the black and white, but that was obvious I think.

Stick with the white walls...they look awesome on that bike.

...., that thing looks tough with the longer rear triangle. great build.

I'm all for the white tires, but like @!! I'am not sure if it will go well with the checkered rear rim :?
Might have to fit a black rim at the rear to make it work, but I do like the combination at the front a lot.

honestly id keep the whitewalls, this bike looks mean and clean, white tires get dirty and turn colors with age. love the rear checkered rim too and i just dont think it would look the same without the whitewall.
