Did you change colors again or is that just the lighting in the pic?

Gotta be just the lighting. Haven't changed paint cans yet.

Whew. Good. I really like that blue.

Whew. Good. I really like that blue.

Yeah I'm getting pretty frustrated with the final painting on this frame. Small spots still blistering are killing me. So close but still not right. Two more spots and it will be good enough I hope.

 

[bigharley]

looks really good so far!

 

[junkiestone]

Well??

 

[Alsfelt]

Haven't touched it in a couple weeks. On vacation next week so hopefully I can get back to it. Holidays put it on the back burner.

 

[Alsfelt]

Wow it's almost been a year since I've thought about this bike. It's out of storage and back to something. Tank plates on and a quick mock up. I was contemplating a wheel color change but now I'm digging it. Hope all you guys have been well.

 

[MADDAWG]

Wow thats sharp , i've got one hanging in the garage - hopefully i'll get to it in the winter .

 

[junkiestone]

'Bout time!

 

[Alsfelt]

..... I know man. I put it in my storage room last year when it got cold and forgot about it. Shouldn't be much longer now.

 

[junkiestone]

Just giving you a hard time man. I've got a couple of projects I need to take care of myself. Posting pictures soon... still like the colors though.

 

[Alsfelt]

Got some work accomplished today. Bmx crank installed. Stickers. Still waiting on a front tire, stem, and seat. Tell me what you guys think so far.

Loving it

 

[Alsfelt]

Thanks. Forgot to post updated pics on this thread. Seat should come in this week. Future plans is to swap wheels with an El Guapo I'm waiting on the price to drop a little farther. Not satisfied with the handlebars either so will probably play around with those too. Once I get the El Guapo, I will probably drop a motor on this one.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Very cool!

Luke.

 

[Alsfelt]

Any suggestions on handlebars, fenders, any other extras to bring it out would be appreciated guys. It's getting close to what I pictured but it's not quite there.

Tilt those handlebars forward slightly, fit the new seat and don't worry about fenders, it is a cool bike!
