Thanks for the input :)

Thanks Kingfish, I am very happy with it, other than the seat.

So here are "my attempt at recovering my seat" pics, but I have just given the seat to my uncle, who works with leather, to recover, so hopefully I'll have it done before the 1st to post some finished pics. I also went for a ride downtown yesterday and noticed something wrong with my...

That's a beautiful bike. Congrats!

Has anyone ever heard of this maker, and/or know if this bike would be worth my while as I like the frame style and was thinking of giving the seller a call to look at it? http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/bik/5119739223.html

That is one insane ride! Your skill and craftsmanship is only bested by your imagination. Congrats on a very unique and cool build.

Sorry, I haven't updated lately. It turned out comfy but not very pretty. I am going to get someone who knows what they're doing to do it for me but that will have to wait a while as I've been super busy. So the Autumnic Dog is finished (or as finished as I can make it by myself)...... all I...

That's a beauty bike and a beauty chain guard. Are you going to put it back on?

When it comes to motivation, I have plenty of it. First, like most people on RRB, I want to build a cool bike that I will enjoy riding with, and showing off to, my friends. This in turn inspires my riding friends to customize their rides a little more so our crew looks unique to the other crews...

So today I took her out for another ride. This time I was totally sober and didn't stop at multiple micro-breweries for libations. The end result is that I have to re-cover the seat as the padding is nonexistent. After the hour long ride, my butt was supremely sore and I realized that if I want...

I really dig the overall look of this badboy. From the triple tree to the seat placement and wheel choice, everything works IMHO. Also I like what you have in store colour combo/paint design wise. Looking forward to see this bike at the finish line.

Thanks very much noodlenoggin and metalchewy. I'm glad you like it :grin:

I just had to go to the funky/artsy area of Vancouver to find a house to match my ride. The responses I have received from friends and strangers alike have been overwhelmingly positive, and one guy actually stopped me to tell me that it was the coolest bike he's ever seen (so obviously he hasn't...

I'm thinking about recovering the seat in the future. Probably going to do a tan or brown seat though, but may do red if I can get the correct colour from a leather shop.

Sorry the pics aren't great quality as I took them with my cellphone.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I finished the Autumnic Dog on Friday before I had to go and work my second job at the bar, so I had to wait until yesterday to take it for a test ride. It rides really well, but is going to be a flat land bike as the hills are tough with the one gear...

And now with the chainguard on

this stick on pinstriping is pretty simple

Stripping rust and paint is dirty work Forks painted Bare frame Painted frame Partially assembled with the bars in an upright position And with the stance that I prefer Chainguard painted with the grips in pic and the stick on pinstripes that need to be applied And one pic...

So I have been plugging away diligently over the last 2 days.......2 days that my wife must've felt like a single parent to our two year old boy. I really don't have much else to get done now as all I really need is to pinstripe my chainguard (which I've never attempted before) and attach it to...
