And here are other pics from different angles (and with the teddy bear; it's not Radar's, he jelaously kept his hidden so I had to find a replacement). :)

First time in the build off, newbie on the forum, building on the old continent; I turned this into this You can find transformation diary here. To follow the rules of the build off, other pictures of the bike will be posted in post below this one. Hope you like my bike; I certainly...

Here it is; finally over! After all the troubles and tryouts for the name plate, I finally did something worth of staying on the bike; found a most similar aerosol matte green paint, used glossy paper that was left over the second atempt with the paper stickers (paper was originaly sitcked to...

Just a quick notice; it's finished!!! Took it for a ride yesterday and all came to it's place; I finally realised what was this build about! Don't want to keep you hanging there, but I'll post pics later in today (or early tomorrow, if you calculate the time difference).

Is that a Tomos Automatic in the back? With custom front fender and a legshield, anad some other stuff? As far as the axle goes...I believe it will hold if you run it from wheel to wheel with minimum 3 supporting spots (for example, run the axle through some sort of tube bracket, just figure...

how do you get that brass color efect? or is it real brass?

ratification goes on with the plate; experiment #2 didn't work. :D Because first paint job on the plate didn't work for two reasons (1. aerosol paint made a bad reaction with the undercoat and everything got wiped off; 2. stencils were made od light cardboard that got bent when sprayed with...

Unanimously! then #2 it is; it's my favourite too, because it's lined with the chainstay, it gives a nice leather colour balance to the seat and handles (which are in the upper half of the bike if you count top tube for middle), and it visually best belongs to that corner of the asimetrical...

Didn't found a suitable back light today, but when I came home from work I went through my military surplus closet and found this baby; perfect for the back, so beautifully unsimetrical that it just sits there like it was made for loving you baby you were made for lovin' me....sorry, I got...

Yes, I'm really satisfied with the leather work, he has an eye for details and he's precise; he deales with custom wristwatch straps (mostly leather). I'm on a lookout for a rear light and today I'm going to go through my military surplus...have an idea of a canvas saddle bag for the other...

great idea with the stocking, I like it...maybe I'll re-use it (fancy word for stealing :) ) on one of my future builds.

My leather guy is...pretty awesome. He finished way before I could dream he would, and he did an excelent job! So I mounted handlebars... And then the seat too (it's the same colour like handles, just a camera color distortion) I was so satisfied with it that I mounted the carrier...

that side so-so, but on the other side I had a "accident". Green paint is nitro based and it's some sort of polyurethane paint; it's resistent to paint thiner, gasoline, petroleum, nail polish remover....but not on aerosol nitro based spray paint. So when I painted the plate green I made a...

hm...cut just the top, or cut the top and bottom? Because, if I cut the bottom side of the plate, I need to make longer bracket. And if just cut the upper one...well, not sure how it'll look. I'm more fond of leaving it this way, because later I plan on installing square carrier bags on the...

official post soundtrack: It was time to get the lights on, so I had to get old unreliable brain crankin'. First, the power source; front handlebar bags seemed like a ideal place for them. I'm not so kean on the idea of searching the battery of the appropriate size, so I made one from...

Over the weekend I managed to do a lot of work done. I finished assembling the bike (most of the bearings are new, all old ones are fully cleaned and well lubricated), put on new bottom bracket, cleaned and painted Biopace chainrings and cranks, cleaned the pedals from red paint preserving the...

Flea market trip paid off; I found this military surplus bag that will go in front, attached to the handlebar. Then i dug some more and I found these brake levers with wonderfull worn out patina that will go perfectly with my "militar-rugged-worn out" style, and will match my black flat pedals...

It did. :D

kk, I'll try, but I can't promise anything-sometimes it's stronger than me. :crazy: Dumb&Dumber edition? Lloyd should be the judge on that prize. :grin:

and I was really looking forward to that handshake. :D thanks for the info, sorry for interuption, carry on!
