Caridad

[Joe Conde]

Caridad's my main ride and she has seen a lot of action and I think it's about time to give her a fresh (meaner) look . Here's the makeover in pictures.

Mods:
Fresh Paint, Bear Trap Pedals, Saddle, Steel Tank & Racing Number Plates, Headlight, Stem, Handlebar

Racing number plate

Because there are no "finished" bikes...at least in our garage. Springer fork upgrade.

That's one good looking' bike.. Those white walls look great and that's a sweet fork. Strange curiosity, but; may I ask you the meaning behind the number 73, or was it just a number you randomly picked?
