This is the first bike I built since getting back into bicycles. I built it to match my Roadster. I liked it when I built it, but as time went on, and other bikes where built, I didn't care for it anymore. So I got rid of the apes, and the long stem, I replaced them with a short stock stem, and a set of straight bar handle bars off an old motorized scooter thing I have, and some simple black hand grips. I replaced the original to the bike seat, that I had covered with Gator skin, and upholstered a smaller seat with the same Gator skin, that's what's in the car. I had originally painted most of the chrome, so I stripped the paint off, so the chrome would show. The pedals I originally put on it, looked like feet, I took them off, and put some old rubber ones on it. I'll use the feet for another build. The car it's built to mimic, is pretty simple, if it's not needed, it's not on it. Now I think the bike fits that description better. Now I'm happy with it. Now I'm on to the next build, Dean

very clean, is that a monarck chainring?
No, it's the stock Firestone chain ring. I made covers to go over both sides of it. I didn't like the style of it, and didn't have anything else to put on it. Dean
