That fender looks sharp in that color combo.

Re: Let's Do This! ~SPEEDY~ real progress ~ 7-29

Hey Skipton,

I can't believe how much you got done while I was on my ride :lol:
The color scheme is incredible!
Glad you trusted you instincts :wink:
The yellow bars are so cool! 8)
The yellow fenders with white tires are fantastic
And you still have the tank yet.. :shock:

First Rate Build!!!!

Well Done
 
Re: Let's Do This! ~SPEEDY~ real progress ~ 7-29

skip: that is dead on awesome! Yellow is not my favorite color (may be now though) but that looks killer! (jealous!) I think you just earned a vote from me! Great lookin bike! Maybe I should just quit now! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: ~SPEEDY~ Now know as *BELLOWING YELLOW* Full Fendered Fun

That is just way too rustic!
I think you need to brighten it up a bit. :p :p :p

Love those fenders!
 
Re: ~SPEEDY~ Now know as *BELLOWING YELLOW* Full Fendered Fun

Right now, without the tank and lights, it looks like an early 1900's concept design, for SPEED!..VERY COOL build!
 
Re: ~SPEEDY~ Now known as *BELLOWING YELLOW* Full Fendered Fun

AT FIRST I WASN'T DIGGIN' THOSE FENDERS. I STAND CORRECTED. YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THEM AND THE BIKE. THIS THING SCREAMS "LOOK OUT -COMING' THRU!!" CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE REST SO...GET TA BUILDIN'!! PEACE
 
Re: ~SPEEDY~ Now known as *BELLOWING YELLOW* Full Fendered Fun

Hey Skipton,

"Bellowing Yellow" is great! I love how kids just say the right things.

Looking good with the brakes, that was a lot of work!!!
Shifter and it's location look good.

Good luck on the rest!

I have been trying to come up with a cool name for months. And Garret walks out to the backyard and sees the bike on the stand in the sun

and said "Dad you should call this Bellowing Yellow" :mrgreen: it was so cool!

I am so glad I could get a brake to fit 8)

I think the shifter looks good also

Thanks!

Looks like big fun doing wheel service on that. :p

I have done it a few times this week... I have become good at it :wink:

the rear is a lot more work then the front..... As I have said before...If I wanted to ride a practical bike I would ride a Trek Hybrid :wink: :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:
