Looking good. Really like your color choices. Just don't see that many grey bikes.

Lookng sharp!

Think I'm going to cut about 4-5 inches off the seat post, I'm still happy with the sprocket but it looks like I'm on the search for a new crank again ... this ones not wide enough to get the sprockets shimmed out where i need it to be Otherwise I'm happy where it's heading so far.

Looking good! Man that rear rim sure pops out and looks cool! Have you thought about using checkers anywhere else?

[CCR]

Yeah I've though about it but I kind of like the rear wheel being the only thing checkered on the bike, got a couple ideas planned though that I think will tie in with "hot rod" look though.

[kingfish254]

I like your direction on this bike. Tweak it to your liking!!

Awesomeness

[CCR]

knocked the post down a bit the other day, spent about half an hour grinding a spot out for the led's, pretty rough right now but it's just got to be big enough to get the flashlight guts in place... plus it was starting to taste bad in the shed.




mmm ... dusty

[Rat Rod]

Ha Ha...face mask time.

[CCR]

Ha Ha...face mask time.

I was wearing this but it didn't help ...

[Critter1]

Well played sir!

[CCR]

58000 some odd pics and my camera breaks ....

Got a little bit more done but pics will have to wait i guess. Bet I'm getting a new camera for Fathers Day though

[CCR]

Camera replaced, birthday party tomorrow for my boy, may try to pick up some bikes if I have time but I hope to get the light wired up and chainguard paint finished this weekend. All the time I had tonight was to snap some pics of the light pieces, found my soldering iron but no solder ... more to come ...

Cheapo LED light



I prefer these multiple LEDs over the single bulbs



They're brighter



trimming the fat off



battery holder will be stuffed in the light housing



the opening i made wasn't too far off either

[Rotton]

Fun read! Like the plant hook holders for painting! Man the chainring had perfect patina! But I see where you are going, I like it. So many times when I grey prime something, I like the look, the grey brings something, nice job so far!

[YOUBUGME2]

Thats the same way I did that headlight when I converted it to led. Worked so well bright was well.
