VERY nice build, this bike makes an impression the second you see it! I have a chrome spaceliner and they are hard to customize and look right. Seems like every part I put on is removed the next day. Good luck!
Great job and good luck in the home stretch. It looks like the little state of CT. put up a pretty good showing in this build!
Took DevilWing out for a cruise on the Farmington Canal Trail. Finally got some riding pics and video: here's the video: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeymac/2867231956/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeymac/2866403897/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeymac/2866406531/ and here are some pics: It was a good ride. However, one snag. The left pedal disintegrated about a mile into the ride: I just put the pieces in my pocket and rode another dozen miles on just the spindle. I have to replace the pedals already but I am looking forward to putting dozens, hundreds, thousands more miles on this thing.
Awesome looking bike! Realy like way how all the components match! Where did you purchase those tires? What brand are they? And are they available in europe?
I was having a hard time trying to get the broken pedal back together, and I wanted to take the bike for a ride with a working pedal and not just a spindle, so I found a replacement with the pedals I pulled off the girl's higgins I am working on. This pedal spins smoothly. I kinda like the way it looks. Now the question is whether to replace the left pedal with the matching one, or to leave them mis-matched.
It does look kinda cool... Plus then you could really show those guys this thing aint no chrome show pony. :wink:

There's a long story about what happened to this bike after I sold it to Skip. It was in a hurricane on Cape Cod, then looted from the storm-destroyed house, then found randomly being ridden around in New Haven. They were able to get it back and I guess it's been handed around between the New England Rat Rodders.
