First timer...

[Saverio]

I've never modified much of anything, so this is all new to me...but a lot of fun! You all seem like a good group, and I appreciate the help that's already been tossed my way up to this point.

I really liked the way the frame looked on this bike, and want to really make it my "own".
I realize I haven't done much to it yet, but wanted to get some opinions on options of what to do next.

In the works are:
Clay colored tires
New stem
Lay back seat post
Springer fork
....?

Maybe paint the frame a cream color eventually?

Welcome! What frame is that? It has nice lines.

Thanks! It's a Nirve B-1 that I got fairly cheap.
Surprisingly light for how heavy it looks!

I also forgot to mention I've got parts coming for this headlight conversion: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=58801

Well here's what I've done so far (don't mind the pedals and stem, they're getting replaced). I got some inspiration from Wildcat with his bare metal bike, and the movie Rocketeer. Not really about the movie, but for some reason I think of that movie when I see this bike.

That's a nice bike, I love those clay bricks! What did you do for a seatpost? Cool bike.

Thanks! There's actually a whole thread about the seat post. Haha! viewtopic.php?t=59031
I got it from Pirate Cycles.
