Thanks OHP. Yeah I matched the paint to the leather....the purse to the shoes, so to speak! :21:
That one ^ was for @metalchewy ....my fashionable fabric finding friend!
As you have proven, Large Handbags are less costtly than the leather store or the fabric store by far.

Good looking build. So far. Shiny :)

One of the perks of having a wife that ran the 'tape' division of 3M for 30+ yrs.....
Found a couple of rolls of pinstripe in the 3M container. Snazzing up the red a bit....more to come I suspect...

Put the bars in for a chrome / red composition. I think this is going to work.....

Looks good on it, Is that reflective pinstriping?
I'm thinking it might be. Barb got it in the bins they put out in the hall at the company a few years back. Sometimes it's the prototype stuff that doesn't quite 'make the cut'.
 
Recent addition to The BACK40, off-grid TV.
HD flat screen ( inherited from my post-college son) powered by 3000 watt converter hooked up to 55 amp deep cycle battery charged by solar panel. Now all I need is a cot....

College football, sunshine, flannel, and old bikes. Doesn't get any better!
 
Anybody else want to take a guess on the purpose of this vintage bicycle tool?

Before I reveal it's use today....
 
Really guys? A brake tool?
No.... It's a primitive crochet thing.:rofl:

Seriously tho, are you doing some kind of band brake?
Or knitting a nice bicycle cover?
 
:13:That tire/frame spacing is mint!!:thumbsup:
I have to nearly deflate the tire entirely to push it past the front entry horizontal drop-outs! Then re-inflate to 40 psi once I get it in position.
