One of my favorites this year Randy. Love how everything looks like it could of been pulled off that truck and slapped on your bike. I sure am jealous of those dirt roads ... ours are mainly gravel and weeds.

Incredible ! ! ! I really really love the look of this build. As stated before, "you nailed it". Great patina, great inspiration, and great execution. Nice !
In Maine, rust is original equipment.

First off thanks to those who voted for this bike.

I recently stole the wheel set and tires off my build-off bike for the Heavy-Duti I just got.
Looking through my wheels for a set to replace them with I decided on this orange set. Dug out some fat tires. I faux patina'd a rear fender, put it on and removed the wood box. Replaced the saddle with a more comfy Brooks which could use some weathering/aging.
