Re: Long Black Train

It's been a while since you posted a full photo. I just want to bump this photo back up for motivation for the rest of us to not slack off. There is some tough competition in BO7.

Looking forward to seeing this wicked bike come together.

Re: Long Black Train

It is not possible to post full bike pics now because it's in pieces at different stages of paint. But, I did get a picture of my " old school security system" . Do you think that it conveys my message ?

Re: Long Black Train

Thanks King Fish, the rivets are for the old train effect.
I finally got my chain guard logo designed and will try to get a stencil made soon.

Re: Long Black Train

After many hours of work, I am finally down to the final assembly and tweaking. Don't know about the rest of you guys but I'm tired. A special thanks to my wife for letting the "honey do" list go by the wayside for a while.

Re: Long Black Train

Very Cool!!! The rake of the fork gives the front tire perfect placement
Lowered handle bars enhance the stance. Styilsh and Subtle, Nice Job!

Re: Long Black Train

Just goes to show how different two bikes based on cantilever frames and trains can be.

Very nice bike, Rg

Re: Long Black Train...finished !

Just finished the graphics, final installations of misc. parts and touch ups. Going to get my final photos tomorrow for the completed bike section.
It has been more work than I thought originally but lots of fun and I actually learned a bunch since it was only my second build.
Thanks to all you guys that gave me inspiration with your positive comments.
