Thanks guys.
Gary,
I am going to need to talk to you about how to tdo the ornament tot the fender stub thing, sounds interesting. Think I am going to stick with this little seat and won't be needing the 7 post. I took it for a pretty long ride this weekend and it wasn't bad at all.
Cheers!

For the front fender I fabbed a bracket and used this antique stove ornament. Kind of looks like a cowcatcher, but the pic doesn't do it justice.
Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed)
Since I went with the upright bars, I decided to make it look like a Japanese Bratstyle Bobber. So I bought this little girl's bike seat for $1.50. The pink is kind of growing on me.
Re: American Idiot
So the boardtracker bar style on this little middleweight frame wasn't really working for rideability. I switched to some moped bars with a higher rise. Had to cut off off the BMX style cross brace. And since the diameter was too small for the stem, I shimmed them...
Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~ NEXT RIDE OCTOBER 22ND ~~
Hope you guys had a great Meet/Show/Ride. I was out of town all this week and just couldn't swing getting up there today. +1 on the pics!
It's your call, there are thousands of these frames around. If you like it shiny, then paint it. Personally, I'd leave it OG, but I tend to leave them all that way, even the rusty ones.
