Looking good.
I like the apes, forks, and tire choices.

took it on a 10 mile test run Sunday. The three speed gearing with the front sprocket (42T I think) is perfect!! Front and rear fenders fitted... a few other mods and additions and Dirty White Boy is about ready for the spray can booth.
Everyone's builds are really looking great. We don't expect to win anything...we're just having a blast building a cool bike and watching all the other builds!!
Rock On RRBBO'ers!

So the ladies decided on the color. A rattle can - sea foam green. I had wanted to paint it black and call it "Dirty White Boy" but the girls ruled that out. Now they want to name it "Hurricane" which would be pretty sweet and fitting too.
Now we have to decide on the pin striping or contrasting color(s). :D

Thanks guys. The girls chose the color. We are thinking some bright orange pinstriping or accents when the sea foam cures.
Your hot-rod color looks a brighter green, dogdart..go with it!! That would look especially awesome too with the dark green.
