OK heres a quick hit list of parts and some work...
Was a stock hawthorn formula 5 that was pretty rusty but all there
added 26 inch spinner fork
added specialized drop neck
added miller generator with head and tail lights
added 36 inch sissy bar
added metalic black flake seat and grips
added majestic siren with custom chain
made seat post
added front wheel and laced in hourglass hub
added grand prix rear brake
added new cableing
modified and relocated sun tour stick shift
bobbed rear fender
replaced fender strut with slightly shorter to put fender on tire
added 54 tooth sprocket and cranks from an old tunturi exersise bike
vintage hiawatha chain guard
modified bear claw pedals
custom cable clips, acorn nuts everywhere
added normandy wing nuts on front hub
new bearings and grease all around
added rear axle kick stand
added brick tread front tire
has stock redline rear drag slick
lots of assembly time to get all parts modified to fit together
I may still paint it heavy metal flake black, but have not decided yet.
cleaned up the rear wheel, and relaced it with 1 inch nipples
Thanks for checking this rat out, its been in progress for about 4 months while i was waiting on a couple parts and some extra time,
but in all I have about 20 - 30 hours in it and only about $250 ($150 for the bike originaly)
