Any suggestions on what else I can do with this thing. Fenders? Chain guard? Anything? Or just keep it simple like it is...?
Leather tape the bars. 8)

Are those gumwalls the Kruisers or the Klassic 90?
They're the Kruisers. The guy a Kenda said the only difference between the Klassic 90 and the Kruisers, is a slight difference in the tread pattern... I threw a dart and it landed on the Kruisers, so thats what I went with 8)

Maybe hang a 3-inch wood or metal strip from those tabs on the top tube and paint it to match with some flame decals or something like that.
 
I just won this rear rack. I'm gonna try to make it work for this bike. I'd like to get some opinions on it though. It may not look "right" to the eye on a frame like this.... but then again I thought the same about the headlight and it came out pretty nice. It would sit too high if I attached it to the seat post, so I'm thinking of attaching to where the rear brakes would be held to the frame. I'd have to fab a bracket obviously, and paint the rack silver to match the truss bars. What do you think??

This bike looks great! I dig it. Fat tires should be on every bike. This thing looks fast, simple, and tough.
Cool!! Thank you. I kind of shelved it for the winter. I rode it about 5 miles the other day and its amazingly smooth and steady. The big sprocket makes for some good leg workout too..
 
I think you should have left the tongs intact... :lol:

I was thinking about doing something similar...wanted a casino theme...dice caps, roulette wheel pattern fenders, and poker/blackjack chainguard, and stick some cards in the spokes 8)

If I had the patience, I would tear down a set of wheels and paint the rims roulette pattern instead of the fenders though.
 
What a trip, I built the "Blood Clot" at least a couple of years ago, took some pics, found that it was a bit short for me and stripped it shortly after. Frame still hangs in a dusty corner of the attic. Glad you liked it, yours is much more thought out and I'm sure is a comfortable ride.
