I hope everyone enjoys it. Thanks for looking.

Love it! I wasn't sure about the red bars, but seeing them on there... It really works well!

Turned out good. I really like the fenders and the stars around the spokes. Great job!

Thanks, I kinda had my fingers crossed on that one.

Nicely done! Love the sweeper fenders, painted bars, spoke stars, color combo, ...and I'm a huge fan of CST tires! Great options at low prices! You really nailed this one, hammer!

Hay man that bike came out really nice ! Just a really nice clean bike . The apes make it look like a comfy ride . Also the stares around the spoke nipples , the sweeper fender , & the Bendix kick back are the sweet spots on this roller !!!! [emoji106][emoji106]

It is actually two fender sections joined under the brace between the seat stays.

Thanks, I tried to showcase the fenders and wheels in the submission photo. I should have gotten more of a 3/4 shot in my opinion.
Having a deadline really helped me to finish. My projects tend to drag on and on and on...

I agree Kingfish, I really like this bike, in fact I voted for it. I've been trying to create a rear fender like this and have yet to get it to flow. Used two fenders and several pie cuts (my welding skills stink).

Nice job...love it.
