I was trying to find more elegant words but all I can muster is a hardy "ME LIKE!"

Now that I just barely got my primary final photo in time up here's some more! IMG_0793 by B Shazbut, on Flickr IMG_0785 by B Shazbut, on Flickr

Wow. That last quarter flew by! I didn't get around to adding the B2TF embellishments I would have liked to but still happy with the end result. Simple, clean, and stylish! IMG_0788 by B Shazbut, on Flickr

I'm pretty jealous of your handlebars. Just realized they resemble a DMC with its doors up. :thumbsup:

Moving slow on this project as I am pretty busy with work and other fun life stuff. I do have this preview update though! :grin: Obviously a DeLorean bike would have three speeds... past, present, future!

Looks great! I always heard water-slide decals don't stick to powder coat. Doesn't seem to be an issue on this bike.

Thanks folks! Wasn't going for a bttf theme specifically but was thinking of throwing in a small homage. Saw that paperweight. It might have to go on the back of the sissybar or somethin!

Finally got around to picking up the powder coated frame today and started reassembling. Also thru on a decal I made. Getting pumped! Got some old school bmx wheel covers I am going to paint a metallic finish and then decal to imitate the delorean wheels.

Nice! We got another apollo contender!

Sorry for no entertaining updates! Finally dropped off the frame to get blasted and painted along with some other customs I am working on. Will have update pictures soon!

If only I had the hover board from B2tf II!!!

If you guys are in the city I recommend heading over the Charles River to Cambridge and Somerville. A lot of new and old spots around there. Also there is a good clustering of bars and restaurants around Central Sq, Inman Sq, Union Sq, Harvard Sq, Sq Sq, Sq Sq Sq,...... I may be a bit biased as...

Thanks guys! GuitarlCarl, looks like we are having our own apollo build-off! Can't wait to see what you do with yours!

Yeah I was thinking something like that. I also make signs for a living so I was going to do custom Delorean decals for the extra authentisity. Thinking of maybe painting the sissybar and rear fender black to match the rear grill on the DMC-12. I'm no metalworker so it will have to be cleaver...

Been collecting Ross Apollo parts since the beginning of the summer. Just stripped the frame and was originally planning on doing a complete resto back to it's original color (brownish-copper). After seeing all the great ideas here I got the bug to do something more custom. Personally I think...

Thanks Luke! My buddies, JT & Tom over at my local bike shop http://somervelo.com/ put 'em together for me in exchange for some storefront window graphics (I make and install signs/decals/etc). Tom specifically built the back wheel and did the spoke twists if you look up close. There is just a...

Here's the 76 Ross 3 speed frame I found. Serial number starts 1276 (Dec 1976) and it does have the matching chain guard not pictured in the photo. It's got maroon spray over the original dark brown/coppertone paint. I am going to strip it and try to repaint it the orignal color as accurate as...

This is my rider right now. Don't know anything about the manufacturer other than they were in Brooklyn and judging from the head badge they were called spiral. I have removed all of the rust except for some oxidation stains here and there and some small chrome loss of the handlebars. I have...

^^^ Ah-ha! I was wondering why the 1976 ross apollo 3-speed I am working on is stamped "chain bicycle company" right next to the serial number. Thx!!!!

A bit late but... I'm always up for a Boston/surrounding area ride!
