Thank you Luke!

Thank you Luke! Glad you like it. I will work on getting a new picture for you.

Thanks! It is a one pice stem and bar from an old Asian bike, the same as a European one. I'm glad you noticed all the unique and custome parts.

Thanks! Me too.

Thank you! We'll have to go on a ride this winter.

I had a lot of fun sharing the process of building this thing. Thank you guys for your feedback throughout.

I was thinking about changing the date on this number plate I made a while ago and putting it on the bike, but I think it would make it look cluttered. The bike has a clean silhouette as is. So, this is the finished product.

Way better pedals!

Very cool!

No offense taken. I appreciate the suggestion. I tried loosening it a bit, but I should probably loosen it more. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

The final step is to replace the new shiny pedals that I had on it with some proper not too shiny block pedals. Unfortunately, the only block pedals I have had 9/16" bolts on them so I had to take them all apart and swap them out. Which isn't too hard, but it's anoying work. Notice the barings...

Thank you Chad!

Thank you Dr. Tankenstein!

Thank you sir!

This is the bike so far. It's basically done. There is one more thing that I'm thinking about adding to it. Maybe, maybe not.

Decided to add some graphics. Again, I wanted them to look like they were done by hand a long time ago. I made my own template/ stencil out of masking tape I used White House paint and went over it with steel wool and a rag made from an old pair of jeans. To brown it up a bit I tried that thing...

Some more inspirational bikes.

On my last two builds I've put period correct pennies somewhere on the bikes, just because it looks cool. On this one I decided to continue the new tredition with a 1943 steel penny.
