Saaweeet.
You need a white suit and hat now!!
Decided the non-drive side of the BB needed ‘something’, so I painted this dust cap to match the chainring and the dust cap on the hub.
Looks like I need to touch up the crank a little too.
This bike doesn’t have all the ‘custom’ touches that a lot of bikes have this year, so I need to focus on the details

As I’m focusing on details, I thought I’d try the Molotow Liquid Chrome paint marker that @Starnger ised on one of his builds. @kingfish254 grabbed one and here’s the results.
There was a bit of rust on the top of my stem
After a couple of dabs of the marker
Pretty impressive! Went on like ‘liquid solder’
Next up, touching up the handlebars on my survivor 1968 Columbia Rambler Deluxe
Cheers!

Amazing chrome paint, and the Rambler is pretty sweet as well.
Love that Rambler
Getting closer to wrapping this build up.
Fabbed up some extension brackets to get the fenders closer to the tires, they’re ‘pretty close’ to where I want them. They’re actually Wald stubby fenders for balloon/middleweight frames/forks. I had to squeeze them in a bit to fit inside this ‘lightweight’ frame/fork. Doing that also ‘deepened’ them a little, which is bonus.
Also, being a bit of a ‘details dork’ I noticed how the backside of the front fender matches the frontside of the rear fender. Happy accident, if I’m being honest, but I’ll take it!
Lights arrived also.
Final headlight position is still TBD. But for now the practically ‘tin foil’ strength bracket is mounted on the stem by the tightening bolt. But I have a couple other brackets coming to try before my final decision. I do know it will be mounted high and not through the caliper brake hole on the fork.
Tried it, hated it.
The XLite100 came in too, it mounted perfectly into Brooks B72 undercarriage (was a little concerned with their unique spring setup. Man, I love those lights, they’re quickly becoming my favorite.
Oh yeah, got the headbadge installed too.
Cheers all!

Looks great. Those tailights you use are super cool.
Great to see more sneak peeks of the gloss over flat hidden details too.

Really dig the white and chrome, and you can never lose with a Brooks saddle! Speaking of 'sneak peeks of gloss and flat hidden details', how bouts a close up of that seat tube?

Zoomed in on the Doc's picture to see that post.
*Feel obliged to mention how nice that frame section is, the seatpost/stay/topbar union is lovely. Early triple triangle?
I was thinking more 'full on frontal'. *can I say that here?
