looks like it want's to race! Nice!
Very nice! I can't wait to see more pics!
Fantastic paint scheme. :shock: Can't wait to see this bike fully built!
you might be able to fit a Slyvania stick and click l.e.d. lite right inside that housing...
The paint job really catches the eye! The top bar reminds me of a pool stick. 
You can't go wromg with a black and white bike. Very Cool! Way more patience than Iwould have. The checkerboard pattern is my favorite part!

thanks all, odd tho, i think it took longer to take the tape off than on, still pickin up tape every time i walk thru the garage too. and yeah chainy, got the idea from a pool stick for the top tube, reminded me of backgammon boards so i figured why not some checkers too.
still gotta lace the front wheel, stripe it & add lights so at least its a realistic goal to meet the deadline at my pace. :mrgreen:

puttin some finishing touches on the lady, just to prove i had been maskin thats also how i letter , i like gerrys way better but i could never color inside the lines as a kid so this will have to do. also painted the spokes black, greased everything up but now i cant find the fork cap ! i also pinched the rear tube when i put the tire on so thats another thing i hadnt planned on doin, i may also have to scrap my headlight idea (not the tail lights) for the time bein cuz im cuttin it too close to the deadline but anywho, shes comin round the bend !!!
i cant draw fat letters very well, so i traced em off a font site straight from the computer screen after i found one i liked, cut it out on paper with an x-acto knife, then laid it out on the maskin tape, traced it on there, cut that out and stuck it on the guard, i can make anything difficult :mrgreen:
