Beer Boy Delivery... Final product on Finished thread! ...while I've been waiting....this:

A quick thought just jumped into my head, you might want to think about a steering stabilizer. A full cooler of beverages that large could get 'squirrelly' on you, especially at pub crawl speeds.

Yeah, good thought. It does get a bit wobbly with a 6 pack in it...the bike I mean.....A quick thought just jumped into my head, you might want to think about a steering stabilizer. A full cooler of beverages that large could get 'squirrelly' on you, especially at pub crawl speeds.

....ask, and it shall be given....Glen, good idea on the bottle cap-ped black knobs
...oh,oh...and that first photo of the Grain Belt knobs got photo-bombed by my latest endeavor....found this sign on the August Schell Brewing gift shop site. And then it needed a little rat-tro-fit....mock ups of possible placement tomorrow! Stay tuned!

I like the Cold Beer sign and I agree with you that maybe the big grain belt transfers need to ratified a little.
Cold Beer signs are always cool on bikes.

When your'e on a roll...wife was at golf tonight...4 hours all to myself. Worked on Dr. Tankenstein ( "It's Tonkensteen") recommendation, the steering stabilizer. One purchased spring, a left over conduit hanger from the front rack, and some door latch parts later...this:
Looks Normal to me. Abbey Normal.
Actually that is a simple but elegant stabilizer. Storing that idea away.

Had a chance to "age" the labels for the big bottle cap and cooler yesterday.

The word is getting around the neighborhood about the Beer Boy Delivery bike. A couple of my "bikey" friends have been checking in regularly when they see the light on in the garage. One of them is married to a professional designer who makes her living making things look old, with that coveted vintage vibe. When she heard about my project, she showed up with Amber (their Golden, and one of my Dusty's best girls) for a walk one morning, and took a long look over the BBD. On the return trip back, she dropped off the canister on the right with the words,"Give it a try if it works for you, if there's any left bring it back"....rusty gold....
Pure rust on the left....faux designer rust on the right
