Thanks RM, it really is fun, again surprisingly :bigsmile:. Its the first low seat that I can ride with being way back. My knees aren't too bent at the top of the crank stroke either. I guess there was a plan there, just not sure it would come together. Yeah Guys, I was originally going to...

Wow! Your bike looks really cool. I like the floating nanner! My wife likes the salt shaker caps and big headlight. Its got quite the stance and presence. Bare metal is always the best. So many doodads to ponder... I can't help but think of one of my all time favorite cars, Peter Brock's...

Thanks Luke and Kingfish. I'm glad you like the seat. It took the most work.:whew: Yeah Odd Job, we'll go for a ride with our groovy bikes probably in late August after Summer Semester. Thanks for the likes GowJobs, RustyGold and Brett4Christ!:) Worked on it late last night then again...

Thanks guys for the support and the likes! I got some pics for you Luke Laptop is still down so I'm using a SD card reader at school. Don't tell anyone, I should be studying:D Here is how the handlebars compare: After they were cut up and put back together and before... I'm glad it worked out...

Thanks Guys for the Likes! :happy: I'm still on task to finish the bike but probably until the last minute. My CPU on my laptop crashed last week and all the progress pics may be gone Arghhhh! :eek::eek::eek: So a "no-picture update", sorry (how boring!). I got my rear brackets for the seat...

Thanks Guys:), yeah it helps that my wife likes them too. She puts no space limits on how many there are around ;). The Paint came in and I did a quick test. From left to right is the Firemist orange without any primer and only one coat compared to the cap. Then the chainring with the...

Thanks for all the likes and paint advice, it helps.:) Since I can't bead blast the shiny metal tank and chrome chainring, I plan to rough them up with sand paper and then use some self etching primer to hopefully make the paint stick better. Plan to use a second coat of white primer like the...

My visit with Odd Job was a lot of fun. Got to see the back forty and awesome bike shop. His One-Liner looks really cool. The match between the tank and naturally patina’d frame is incredible. First rate work! The nanner seat really fits the bike and I got to hear the super-secret plans...

Pile o' Parts & Plans Thanks Guys, I'll try not to disappoint. Yes KF, I like the sound of "Coppertoning" too but I'm too lazy so maybe CT can stand for Coppertoning. Okay so I took a little time to make a pile of parts that I've been collecting (for years :bigsmile:). I've got some other...

Hey Everybody! I'm in again, number 5 for me. I haven't got much time with grad school but I've got a week in between Spring and Summer semester where I plan to get the bulk of it done then. Enough excuses and on to the show... I've always wanted a Coppertone Schwinn. I'm not really sure...

Wrapping it up Thanks for the comments Dale, Pick, RRTbike, and Jerry!! ((Edited: in an earlier comment, Pick said something about being a good SIL and so I commented "(I'm really not…)" but only that, right after his name, right after thanking him, sorry, it was a clumsy shortcut)) Thanks for...

Autumn into Winter (I was going to say Fall but I didn't want to alarm anybody :giggle:) Hey Everybody, Thanks for the likes and BDay wishes:happy: Deorman, you're right and I thought of that too so a while back I switched him to a 46/22 combo, unfortunately it wasn't a matter that he couldn't...

Hello, I promised I'd enter my Sister In Law's (SIL's) bike that I built for her for BOTEN. She has been enjoying it in Oregon and riding with her grandson J (JerimiahIsRad) and his FlatBlack&White Goodyear Hiway Patrol bike. I was told that J got a "Cool Bike" comment from someone when they...

Bike Hero Birthdays Thank you Jerry! You Betcha! Thanks Rebel56, we did get in more riding :) Thanks Old Goat, glad you enjoyed it! Hello Duchess! WOW 102! That's awesome, sorry to hear he didn't have the childhood joy of riding. What a great pair of centurians: your Grandpa and Iver Johnson...

Thanks Guys so much for all the support!!! It made a big difference when I was doing something this crazy :eek:. The bike commuting has been going great. I didn't respond until I got a semester under my belt. Best of luck Wildcat on your college push too. I got an "A" in my management class...

Summer Rides, Hits and Misses Thanks for the likes Randy, Luke and Nagant! Thanks JunkHunter, Good to have you on board! You are right Dale, have to enjoy them while you can despite the issues. So glad to hear you are "copying me":bigsmile:. I copied other people too. Most of the scheduled...

Wow, Thanks Everybody!! I sure appreciate the props :):). It was a little tough to fit it in with school but is was so worth seeing my SisterInLaw's face (SIL) when she got it. Couldn't agree more Pick!! Well, SIL and the bike are in Oregon now and she has been riding it with J. Remember...
