Re: HeX53: rack attack!

Busy day today!

Worked most of the day straightening the back end this bike was definitely ridden hard and put away wet. A complete time vacuum and pain in the rear, but it is as straight as I can get it. Will require a repaint of the rear fender.

Worked on the front end...

Now I'm torn between the saddle I'm going to use... The B33 or the B67

Here is the 33

Re: HeX53- More work

I like the 67...the looks of the 33 are too old for era of the rest of the build to me... The front pin spring has always turned me away. But i really like the rear springs on the 33 though! Were did you get your split shaft collars on your bars? I have a bike i want to put those on!

Thanks, I'm going with your thought... The 33 is a big statement!
 
Re: HeX53- More work

I love that 33, but I think the 67 looks better for your build.

Hard to say. Your drawings are so sleek and clean.
