the killer bike!
I can't wait to see this one in progress!

Welcome.
The bike looks like it might have been a contender "as is" although that's against the rules. Are those stickers all over it?
This bike is perfect for what you are trying to accomplish. Wonder what it would look like with a springer fork of some kind.

Yep, no year regulation!
If you decide to toss the bars, snap a picture and send it my way. I might be interested.

Are you HAMBer? Just wondering because of your username. Thanks
dumpster diving since 1994

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

yeah those were stikers, man i think the hardest part of this build is removing them, theres like 4 or 5 layers.

i think it would look awsome with a springer fork, but im a noob when it comes to finding stuff like this, so if anyone could help me find some that whould be awsome! thanks.
