So what is this...Is that your fork? If so when did it turn orange and black?
 
Re: SSV#6 (New Direction)

really dig the disk brakes thats just cool and fits the newer and old parts you are using. keep going
 
Re: SSV#6 (Re-Paint)

That paint and patina match is utterly ridiculous. You nailed it and I can tell you it is no easy feat UNLESS you just got really, really lucky. Great job.
 
Re: SSV#6 (Re-Paint)

Impressive, Sir!......ASOLUTELY "art".

thats all i have been doing. matching the rims and fork paint. rims are done now i got to tear down the fork and add the final application.

Anybody thought about: What if the previous owner of that frame had it pristine before he matched it with his patina'd wheels...
:shock: :wink:

You've done a great job. I had this one idea a few years back to take a modern Electra cruiser and make it look old as if it came from the 40's or something. I love the modern fork look authentic vintage. That's really cool...

Re: SSV#6 New parts!

Great job on the paint.

But I got to wonder, why the two shifters? Are you planning on using a front and back derailleur?

Maybe one deploys the flaps for slow-speed landings?

close..it's a 5 speed shift lever and drag brake combo

i will be using just a rear derailleur, but the brake lever will run both brakes . at least thats the plan.

I hope you pull that off :wink:
