Lovin' how the parts you picked fit so well.

Seat looks cool, but trust me.... Not comfortable for more than a few miles. :cry:

Thanks Joe.Just trying to keep up with you.Not settled on anything yet beside the tank.It has lots of features to help pull off a vampire based theme.This was the first round of throwing parts at it to see what sticks.Lots of stuff I've acquired to sort through.There is lots of clearance around the rear tire so I want to get my hands on a 26x3" tire.Might need to flex the chainstays a bit but I think it would fit.Just need to find one my LBS can got.Unfortunately,the only ones I've seen online have flame tread.Maybe someone can shed some light on the matter.

Thanks!I thought so.It came on what was left of a girls Columbia made Goodyear Hi-way Patrol a friend picked up at a yard sale for me($10).A little cutting and bending to make it fit properly and a paint scheme I have in mind,should be pretty cool.There's also a chrome piece that fits over the top tube at the front part of the tank that I need to find.Too bad the chainguard was missing

The hunt continues...

Glad you like it.It's probably good that the only digital camera is also my inter-galactic communicator.My seat is pretty funky,too.The thick paper on the under side of this one is ripped in half and will be replaced with thick leather if I end up using it on this build.It's a cool looking seat,but quite large.I like the B72 also.It just seems a bit small in scale.Hard to go wrong with a Brooks.Still throwing parts at the bike trying out all my options.I will dig into more seats once I clear a path to them.Still got some parts attached to donor bikes that don't want to come loose.Thanks for checking it out!
