That is what I was thinking I will keep the fork white

Save the whites for a darker coloured project. The black rubber fits this bike much better. Is that originally a rack up front? I like it...

Thanks Guys
I don't know what kind of bike the rack/light came from got it at a swap meet this spring it even still works :D
I rode it to work yesterday.10 miles round trip nothing feel off. (well the drywall screws holding the tank on were very loose when I got to work :shock: :oops: )
Man that seat is low! I am 6ft tall sure it looks like the circus is in town.
well riding in traffic I guy in his late 60's in a S class Benz kept looking at me later he yelled at me to raise the seat. At the next light he told me it was a very cool bike. :mrgreen:
hope to have tail light on in the morning
more pics soon
Thanks Skip
