Re: DALLAS RIDE & SHOW - APRIL 19, 2009 how can i enter a bike in the show? missed it last year and regretted every second....see you sunday!

Well, here it is almost August and I just got around to doing some work on the Superchief again. Funny how time flies..... Anyway, I originally intended this to be a sympathetic restoration to cruiser style, but recently had a complete change of vision for this bike: I ran into a guy at a...

and who said Betty had to be Ugly? ;) Beautiful bike, man.

low light and a camera phone makes for a blurry picture. it had nothing to do with the 3 youngs double chocolate stouts I had..... ;) if you're in DFW and going to the st patty's parade on greenville.....keep an eye out for the green monster in the parade!

yeah! and, I just got lots of those looks tonight as i rode through downtown dallas with some of my cycling buds....had to hit a couple bars for some monday night drink specials! The Green Monster in Downtown Dallas:

yeah, it looks like a bull and rides like one too!!! it's just a fun freaky ride for now.....

ok, so off topic, but here's a 20X26! Built today!

So new to the board and already I'm outing myself as a Red Sox fan!! I decided to take on another project that's been looming instead of stripping more paint off the Superchief. I've had an AMX Swing hornet bike that I've been taking parts off for a while.......... and got a cool green...

cool, man...i like the brown rounded one all on it's own. message me and maybe we can work something out. if you've got any bananas too, i'd be interested....

please do, i'd love to see them.

don't worry, I'm not painting the tank or anything else for that matter. just stripping off the brushed-on white paint and then a quick sand job to cut back the rust a bit, and a clear coat with matte finish. At least, that's all I have planned for now....you guys know how this stuff goes...

beautiful!! nice work!! how long did that take?

OK, I used some acetone to start the white paint removal. What was revealed was some great detail on the tank (scripted text Superchief)! Also, I took the chainguard off to remove the paint on it and decided I'm leaving it off......just looks way rattier that way! gotta run out for some...

Joshua, Wow, that Red Baron project is amazing! I love how those forks look! I'm currently looking for an older saddle....the one on it is much too new, but was better for riding it than the alternative! ;) any thoughts on where i could pick one up?

hey, I'm working on finding myself a maryann or ginger first! now if I could just find a way to manufacture a bike out of coconuts!!!! I teach at the Preston Ridge Campus of Collin County Community College in Frisco. (which means the infinity g35 in the background of one of my superchief pics...

Hey everyone, just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, ride vintage and repro- fat tire cruiser bikes (single speed with a coaster is my thing), and am a college professor. I've been visiting this site for a while, but recently started a build on a...

I think Mad Max ThunderDROME would be more appropriate...... great pic!

Picked this up at a bike sale last weekend. Chain was completely rusted solid, rims were rusted through, handlebars broken, but I just couldn't pass up the double sprung fork..... Before: After: added rims and tires, seat, bars and grips that were just taking up space in my garage. Front...
