There are just a few changes: seatpost, bar end brake, adapted chain tensioner, and new wheelset.

Has anyone ever tried electro plating frame or bike components in copper? I have limited experience in electro forming from art school. You could have not only a copper colored bike but a copper covered bike that you could polish and clear coat for a shiny penny look or patina.

I like the lines especially where the seat stays curve around to line up with the top tube but then you see the top tube curve under. Great job!

I really like the line the seatpost makes. Is the rack supporting some weight?

I liked the bike before you painted it. Now it looks so good I could eat it... But it would probably mess with my metaphorical diabetes.

I want an upright cruiser position. I soon realized that was a little tricky to adjust. I've never really ridden road bikes much before and they want you to lean forward. I think I got it though. Yeah I was thinking about a layback seat and or a longer stem. I still might try that out.

i have been attracted to old bikes since i was little. everything i know about bikes i learned from taking them apart and putting them back together. i haven't done much lately not having a garage or other good workspace but i've got a few ideas dying to get made and keep finding my way back...
