the clay pot

[br549]

started with a complete hercules, but then got some newer wheels, then decided to use a different frame (Trek 800). All that's left of the Hercules is the handlebars, pizza rack and rear fender and headlight. Painted it Krylon "Clay Pot". I wanted a flat blood red, but this turns out ok. Matches the buckskin handgrips. I just need a brooks saddle now! (and a leather flask holder)

I like that look.

Man that's a nice look. Perfect color, slanted carrier. Looks great!

Looks like it's gonna be a solid rider.
I dig the color!

Took er on the maiden voyage today (no brakes or shifter) but rides very effortlessly and smooth. I think I like this better than my cannondale!

I was thinking of putting a battery pack and LED or Halogen bulb in the headlight. Any suggestions?

check out a Sylvania click and stick. Its a L.E.D self sticking light thats pretty bright. I think Clothespin had a tutorial on here somewhere. works really good!

kevs L.E.D light conversion in the how to manual in the how to section.
