Late 50's Murray Solar Flight

[oxyjansen]

Late 50's Murray Solar Flight : (Spaceliner): This is a fresh custom build I entered in this years build off, but got busy and never got the finished pics in. Its a combination of new and refinished vintage parts. It rides smooth as silk, and the 2 speed makes it far more versatile than a single speed. The fork is a vintage re-chrome with Campy dropouts. Rear fender is bobbed, and the paint is Ford light blue over hammered copper leaving a specking of copper fish eyes showing thru the blue for a galactic effect. Its a seriously nice bike, bit not practical to me here in Massachusetts, so I've decided to let it. But, I figured I'd at least share the pics and build for your viewing pleasure.
