Nice changeover. The red tires are sharp lookin.

Kinda of like "Extreme Makeover" That would be a great contest is to have an Weekend Rat contest.

I agree, the blade fork looks much more appropriate.

Good job Hooch.

and that seat! i need to foing one like that for my bike!

 

[Hooch]

the old springer?
if it wasnt for how it looked I would throw the uncomfortable thing away! lol
now I know why early decent mens seats bring good money because the smaller womens seats arent comfortable for men! well atleast my fat ....

It looks great, but I actually preferred the ape/whitewall version. That's just my personal preferrence however.

Overall, great job!

sweetness...

man, the latest incarnation is totally sweet, I'd leave her like that, maybe lace in a 3 speed out back, but thats because I'm a Sturmey-Archer junkie, lol :mrgreen:
