    LIME DROP ~~~ frame to rough

    Been busy around here for the last two weeks.. Bad NEWS!… I wanted this frame to work so badly I might have had my rose colored classes on when looking it over. Turns out the welds are junk. When I ground the paint off there was a ton of bondo hiding the truth. I did think about just bondoing...

    Thanks for taking a look! Yeah those Grifter tires are so cool. I do love how it fits on the deep V. You got it it’s a Shimano hub some weird 1980’s stuff. Yep Lime Drop will be a crazy green for a crazy frame. I’m out of town for a couple days can’t wait to get back working on this. Time is...

    ]Sissy-Bar arrived yesterday.. I like my banana seat to be mounted at the very front. Going to drill Out this mount and move it all they way forward. Time to head to work.. I’ll get the mount re-mounted tomorrow. Looks like it seat and sissy bar will work.
