paint looks great. No question where the inspiration came from.

So I took the '62 out on its "maiden" voyage tonight. Was gonna go full BMX w 3 piece alloy cranks, polished alum wheels, etc, but I think I really this configuration...just a cool, solid cruiser.

maybe don't use a third party photo source so we can actually see the bike...those photo bucket strips are pretty distracting on an otherwise nice picture of a killer bike.

I think you did a killer job on the stencil and yes...it does look intentional.

can't beat an original loop tail.

I hate when my balls go missing.

Gotta tell ya...that first seat looked mighty uncomfortable...:rofl:

Theres only one rule in graphic design: There are no rules...(except for all those other rules)

Im sure its probably been thought of before, but it it literally just hit me as I was looking at picture of a bike called "devilwing". The name of the bike was below the photo of the bike in a cool, artistic font...same as they do in car mags...then it hit me. What would it take to turn RRB into...

the car is my '50 Chevy Styline Deluxe. 2 door, mostly original, except paint and dual exhaust. Inline 6, 6 volt, 3 on the tree...another hobby of mine. Ive had a few others, looking for another C-10.

As far as removing the color from the rear wheel, I just used straight wet Brillo pad and the wheel looks beautiful. As far...

So, here's the long and short of it. Bought a Jamis BOSS cruiser w beautiful blue anodized rims. Went to clean them w a little polish and it ate right through the 35 year old anodize.:envy::envy::envy::20::20::20::headbang:So at that point, made the decision to remove all the color...such a...

never heard of transition until now. waaay cool. I REALLY dig your crankset design.

we all remember our first...:inlove:

daaang...gotta git me one of them

ok...what kind of witchcraft and wizardry did you use on the grey and orange Kona to make it stand up straight for a pic???HMMM???:43::43::43:

This is exactly what I was talking about in my "True value of vintage parts" post. As much as I love this hobby, that makes ZERO sense to me. As cool as that bike is, even if I had the cheddar, I wouldn't pay that. But hey...to each his (or her) own.
