I've seen a nice burnt orange/brown called root beer that should look good. Clean the fenders and spray them clear will help, gold rims, black spokes. Plus with some of the left over I'm planning to paint a guitar body. Root beer will look great on a Telecaster...

I've got an idea for a new bridge/fender support using a bit of rod heated up and hammered out blacksmith style. Should be fun and functional too. I'm just not sure about my color scheme... I really would love to do some "speedboat glitter" but I've also got a love hate relationship going on...

Did some rearranging in my garage for some floor space. Bike still ended up on my bench. Cut out the brake bridge left over from the MTB that donated it's rear frame for Rockin' Rollfast. Now the Monark fender goes high enough to be centered on the wheel. The front fender fits perfect on the...

Easy peasey grind down the tips of the spokes... Not this time. I'm actually waiting on new spokes and rethinking the color scheme...

I have the correct length ordered... But I'll post a pic of this lace before I dismantle it. It's not terrible but just not right.

That wheel was the closet thing handy and WILL NOT BE ON THE FINAL BUILD. Repeat after me: "Fat street tires under deep Monark fenders."

I started lacing the hub into a chrome rime the other night even though I KNEW THE SPOKES WERE TOO LONG... yeah it's a possibility. It could work, Thread the nipples down past the original threads, grind the tops of them off afterwards. But... It's not perfect. So I'm going to order the correct...

Yea I was going to lace it onto that pink rim after I stripped it but now I'm thinking I need a couple chrome rims. If I go with the blue glitter job I'm gonna need some flash to match.

It was time to introduce a stack of overdrives. Back in the analog days, sonic adventurers cascaded little green boxes of circuitry, one into the next, into the next and so on. I had collected a handful of the units and experimented on my own with a beaten mongrel of a Telecaster. I modded our...

Just back from my morning cruise. Gotta ride coming up , so I'm not sure if this is a shakedown for the bike or me... Been surfing the lazyboy all winter...

Oh look at what the post brought me today! Now we're cooking... Big thanks to @oldcars

Now I'm thinking about a "speedboat glitter" blue, fenders and frame. The rest kind chrome...

So if melting faces was what was going to happen, then so be it. I'd been dreaming of this for a long time, not in the sense of longing, but in a meticulous way. The calculations would take a difference engine moments perhaps. But I had even mapped the dissonance and the probability of shadow...

Quick update. Monark fender meets Monark style forks. Yes it will work.

I do like me some cyberpunk... and then there's this...

It didn't matter how strong the magnetic locks were or how thick the walls of the shed, we were in for a ride. As the notes trailed off from the original melody, they cascaded into subroutines that they were never meant to reach. How can a simple A generate a force so heavy as to burn thru all...

It's on my list of to do's and I've got a bike stashed for it. But I'm not building it yet. I have seen a couple mods for it though, mainly locking struts so you can lock it into the lower position for getting on and off. Also some adjustment on the mounts to facilitate riders of different...

We began to lift the sound in an old abandoned gravity shed. Once I had the inclination set right, the grid just started humming and the mic array was just shy of clipping when the ancient Stratocaster (converted to lightwave) was barely strummed. I knew we were going to need a big driver to...

Really? They're just sitting in the frame not mounted at all. Notice the ends of the fender braces. But I'm not going to modify or fabricate anything until I know which one I want to use and how they'll fit together. Shooting from the hip I think I need to pull the axle back a couple of inches...
