so S.S. returned from his field trip to Gaskill's Hop Shop with some fresh looking retro-styled striping...very subtle, just to break it up a little..thanks Gaskill for the touch of paint:



ok, time to finish this build up..I started by installing the rear fender and crank set-up:



then the handlebars:


then the "Barrara Seat":

starting to look like...something...

got the sissy bar mounted and seat attached:


I wrapped a old speedo cable in the orange wrap and installed it next:


and threw ya a little tease on the shifter..still got a little left to do on it:


here's where I'm at right now..next up is to cable this bike up, finish the shifter, and any minor details I may add. I also lie in wait for the chainguard to return from "Jalopy Jim" with some vintage style lettering..More to Come!!

D.N. I plan on bringing this build..my custom BMX cruiser named EVH and my custom 1977 Motomag..and a whole bunch of quality "JUNK" and beer...

[KOTA]

WOW! Coming together nicely. Bar tape gives it the "factory look". Well ,so doesn't the upholstered seat, and I guess the the paint and stripes. Okay, okay...It looks like a factory Fantasy bike. NICE!

Can't wait to see the shifter on it too.

Don't forget Double Nickel is just a wee one! You can't go corrupting the youth with junk and beer!

By the way. We now have a muscle bike class. Just letting you know

Will you be coming CeeBee? My sisters scooter is done, I would like for you to see it in person. I looks a bit different than it did the last time we saw you.

so I finished up assembly last evening with cables, shifter, & chain. I wanted to add a little extra to the shifter so I decided to sew some leather together and see what I came up with:



made a mini shift boot for the shifter:


I also scored these NOS rat traps..dated 1975..



I couldn't decide on color for the cable casing and since we have 14 color choices at our shop..it made it even more difficult..decided to go with the shiny CHROME casing..I haven't used this on any of my bikes so I figured it was time I did:


cabled up the rear disc...got S.S.stopping:


cabled up the shifter and installed the chain..got S.S. shifting and moving:


shifter looking right at home on S.S.:


and here he is about 99.9% finished..final touch-up and installing the chainguard and we'll call S.S. done..I went ahead and took him out on his maiden voyage..I felt like a Schwinn MAN..I'm pleased on how it turned out and can't wait to introduce him to Scooby..one final update to come and then off to the "finished" section...

[kingfish254]
