Snuck out to the shop. The temptation to have a peek was too great
I'll drink to that

Went with the Fenix in white. Thanks Amazon!
Should make for a good cruiser/beer run bike
The nicest cranbrook I've ever seen.
Update.........
So I was struggling with the right hand crank arm on those square tapers. After numerous attempts to get it seated well and the chain aligned, I started inspecting and found one of the internal flats was damaged. It looks like it happened when they cast the arm. I'll have to decide if I want to send them back for exchange or just get in there and file it out.
Anyhow, I thru the 1 pc back in with this sprocket I got from @Indyjps and took it out for a slow roll

Cruises reeeeeeeal nice
Paint bars black, new grips, tank panel, and sort out the crank situation so I can rock those white Odyssey pedals
And decide on a possible rear rack/beer hauler
Yeah, now that's right to the point. Very clean. I can hardly wait to see a full shot with the white pedals mounted.
Absolutely love the color combo!
Thanks Shish
Thanks guys. I'm digging it as well
Sure going to need a lot of this :

Too nice, better have a good lock!
1. Clean the tires.
2. Do final photo shoot
3. Don't worry, be happy. They're only white once!

Cranks sorted and mounted. Went with a steel 3pc set sitting under the bench. Blinging pedals on finally
And then out for a quick cruise before yanking the bars for paint

Started on the tank panel template
And did some measuring and thinking about a rear rack
Bars are primed. Hopefully paint tomorrow before I gotta leave town for work. Then they can cure for a few days awaiting my return
