The rims are done!!! I was able to rebuild/ pack the hubs before work and at lease mount the two front tires. I love the colour but now having second thoughts about the material on the seat?????

what so you think of this colour! Its chryler's new colour line! Its called "Good to go!"

Sorry its rainning here! so no real good shots :cry: this colour is UNREAL in the sun!.........Kev was floored :shock: :mrgreen:

the tires I got were free/ trade for some uhpolstery work and are BMX 2.125

once I get the back tire together and on. The bike will have a forward rake to it. :D

I also removed the front brakes......the pads will rub the paint off........not a big problem the rear is a coaster! In its place I found big black LED headlights just like the chrome ones (pics to fallow) one for each side.


only a few more things left to do and a few more add on's .....Kev has also made some great ideas I would like to go with so time will tell.

Great job to the reast of you out there....there are going to be some great rides next summer!

man!!!! those ramp tires look sweet. the rims are bad with them big hubs. i agree with steve on the seat, it would look nice with a close match strip of color on it.

looks good

The color on the seat matches the strap around the basket though, right? Looks cool to me. Or, you can always just go with a black strap / seat.

Man that is a cool ride!!! You've got one of the best if not the best paint jobs in the buildoff!! That took a lot of time to do. The wheels and color are awesome!!! I like the wheels out front like that. Sure could haul some real weight and bet it handles really great. It's sure got museum quality detailng. Great Job!!! Thanks!!!

If memory serves me right...he dismissed this bike from the build off because of his desire to have the bike powdercoated.

Is this correct Murray?
