Thank's! that's the most flattering comment a builder/customizer could receive "Imo"

That is one awesome bike! I didn't like the rake of the frame at first but it grew on me. Excellent use of premade parts on truss rod clamp at stem how the seat rail clamps grip the rod ends. Beautiful !

Thanks!
i am relatively new here , and i have question : why many people around here say "Gary" in there post and signature ?

i go get my crankset today , so i will be mounting the rims and tires to ... will post pictures its almost finish only the handlebars need to be finalize
and maybe a storage tank in the future , but i am not sure about that yet

At least two of us in Illinois and I think we may be of the same age and our mothers may have had the hots for Gary Cooper the movie star

Wow, you did a phenominal job with your bike. The whole combination of parts, frame lines and color just work extremely well together. Great Job and have a blast riding that beauty.

[OneHorsePower]

Thank!

just trowing a thought i had this morning , but its just for fun , i love the way it is now

 

[MplsCoaster]

Very Cool!! You're idea nails the stance.
Your current higher seat position has a cool rake to it too
The modern crankset and the black rims/tires look fast

 

[buckfiddy]

WOW...great job! Love the color and stance.

 

[OneHorsePower]

More pictues , i ditched the drop bars , they were not sturdy enough and were drop to much , but i may take a second try at it

i was also working on a pair of pedals , did not show them before cause i was not sure it would work or if i would use them ...
they were similar to those at first ..

but one was damaged , so i cut the sides out , drilled new holes ,and bolted springs in there with washers and spacers ..
