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]

I love how this bike turned out. Fantastic! My only complaint is that your didn't spell it "Merkin Flyer". :41:
 
This was a great one to follow.
I want those wheels and fenders!!!!
Awesome paint scheme!!!
BRAVO!!!!
 
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.
