You can click on cruiser there.. take a peek at the single speed cruiser at the top.. its that.. but in black.. with no fenders.. and totally grip-covered bars.
80's looking cruiser cheapiness.
yay.
I didnt realize that it was a cantileavered frame.. i knew it had the "tank" but not that the lower part of it was two seperat tubes.
Now, i need to figure out how i'm gonna enclose the tank.
Hmmm..
I could do it with thicker plates, ala Offenhauser RR bike on the front page.. or maybe glass it in.. im not sure yet.
Its probably gonna end up with a springer up front and flat black paint, with red wheels and wide whites.
I may try and make it a three speed.. and possibly a jockey-shift.
