It's actually this light set, I switched the mounts, the front is on the fork http://yesteryearcyclery.com/shop/lighting/combo-lantern-1led-light-set-origin8/

I got it all done and took it out for some photos, it's a really nice riding bike, very stable and fun.

Thank you!

Yeah, the hammered fenders are sweet (I have a set made by Lefol) but I don't think they're "clean" enough for this build

Some great ideas! I don't mind $99 for the flat Woody's, I think they would look great on this bike. I may forgo the rack and just carry a messenger bag. As for a lock, I just found the Shinola leather covered U-lock :drool: I might have to get a Kryptonite and wrap it myself.

Thanks for the comments! I like the Soma bullet light, slick! I'm also thinking of a u-lock mount, since I'm going to need to mount one anyway (this being a "city bike" and all). I was thinking of wooden fenders too, also a rack, but not sure I can find one clean enough to match the bike. The...

Oh, good idea for a light!

Yes, came on it, don't recall a name, I'll double check, may have a stamp, maybe "SR" or something like that.

The Bike: ~2000-2004 Giant Simple Single The Story: I was working on a bike for a friend who wanted a beach cruiser, and I found one cheap on CraigsList. As I was building it, I really fell in love with the clean frame design. I refurbished the one for my friend but I was determined to find one...

Without knowing anything about old school bmx I bought a mostly complete Torker for $150. I learned a lot and put another $100 into finishing it. Then sold it for $700 (which bought me the Schwinn Paramount I always wanted). And I thought I did well!

Cool, you got it together then! I shot both bikes at 36mp :)

I can certainly send you a high res. I would recommend 300dpi over 150, depending on the printing resolution, the typical magazine is 300dpi. Is the format horizontal or will a vertical work too? I'd like to offer up pics of my Jamis BMX too. Just let me know which pic out of these two threads...

Thanks, it's a dream to ride

Here's my 1972 Schwinn Paramount P-13 And a 1980 Torker I've since sold

Wow, that's excellent!

Wow, beautiful ride! Just when I think there isn't any other bikes I need for my collection....

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the compliments!

Thanks everyone, it's been a fun build, mostly because it didn't involve a lot of painting. Yes, it's a super fun ride. Comfortable and makes me feel like a kid again since my first bike was a bmx. I'll need to get me friend to take a picture of me doing a stoppie on it. A Laguna is another...
