    You’re having way too much fun. Should be soaking parts in toxic chemicals, sanding, sweating etc..😅🤣😂 Always a treat to see the local sights down there.

    TRADITIONAL The Resu-Trektion

    Yay the carbolift removed all the white paint easily! Was kicking myself for not using this sooner but there is another layer underneath that is clear or black that it made very sticky. Had enough left to give it another soak. Hopefully get it sanded and cleared later. Changed the name...

    Yes. Vee Speedsters. Had a 20 inch set of those on a trike. Super fast rollers! Bike is looking cool. 😎

    TRADITIONAL The Resu-Trektion

    Came across a couple interesting paint jobs on these bikes. This one is covered with real butterflies and was ridden by Lance Armstrong in 2009. Another one painted by a famous artist. Both sold at charity auctions. 500k for the butterfly bike and 160 for the other one. More sports...

    TRADITIONAL The Resu-Trektion

    Well nothing too exciting going on. Still scrapping, stripping and sanding away on the frame which has been residing in the basement shop sink. Did some more sanding on the fork trying to find a decent transition but not going to happen. Too much carbon over the crown. May have to use a...

    Glad you posted that. I thought I was losing my mind…..again. 😅 You’ll be limited by the amount of threads in that end tho. Looks like you’re close? Edit: just saw you took it for a ride. Sounds awesome. 👍🏻

    Nice looking frame and fenders. Wondering how the rear brace would look if it were flipped to make a gentle s- bend?

    Well it could use some kind of chain guard. Was thinking something more minimalist/mechanical for this svelte machine.

    That’s a handsome ride. 😎 Parts cabinet would make some juicy pickin’s for the old carnival claw game.

    Egg-cellent! Always wondered how those springs worked. The fact that they’re just doodads makes it even cooler. Style really meant something.

    Great insight on the Evanaction “ action”. No worries about bottoming that one.

    UNLIMITED Brood XIX *WIND EATER*

    That’s cool! 😎 Was thinking the deck would replace the footrest on the moped. Would need to find a flat deck tho.

    UNLIMITED Brood XIX *WIND EATER*

    That’s amazing. Wondered what the lower tank was but now see it’s the original girls tank. When I look at those trim pieces I keep thinking they would fit nicely on an old skateboard deck.

    Muted def looks better on the laptop. Sorry for this but I have to do a brief hijack and ask about this bike you posted in kf's thread. You said it was a client's. Did you build this for him or did he use your tank ad build it himself? It's a real stunner I hadn't seen before.

    TRADITIONAL Behrens Viscount

    Cool lugged frame. 1 pc cranks? Don't think I've ever seen those together. To just shine without removing a light polish or cleaner wax. You could always do the boiled linseed oil deal but no idea how that's done.

    Humidity in Ohio is oppressive right now. 15-20 minute of outdoor activity is about all I can take.

    Nice cleanup on the frame. Looking forward to see where this one goes.
