The Green Machine is done. A little old school, a little rat, a little military all mixed in. We put cut down an old set of handlebars and wrapped them with tape. Then I made a pair of leather grips, but my son is thinking that maybe some ape hangers may not look to bad on it. It's an old...

It's a little late to be entering, but this is a bike my son and I have been wanting to build for awhile now. We've had all the parts, and have mocked it up a couple of times, just never got around to finishing it completely. So now it's a repaint in the color he wants and a rush to get it...
