FINALLY!! Some more parts have arrive from eBay, amazon, points unknown... I just got home from work, so I am not going to mess with it now, but tomorrow I will try to get some painting done and throw together a mock-up. I would take pictures, but a friend of mine told that people on the...

RG - The 'liners are beautiful bikes. Too beautiful to chop.....??? GC - Thanks. All of them are pretty rare around here. I haven't even finished this bike yet, and I am already thinking about a few more, lol....

LOL. Thanks Matti. Yes, I have decided that I must to mine own self be true...The truth is, if it is uncomfortable, I won't ride it. And the desired seat isn't, in my not-so-humble opinion, isn't ugly. Not at all. It just may not fit this build. But I want it. So....

ARRRGH!!!! Why can’t I figure out how to post photos, lol.

Look what OddJob gave me......

So...I didn’t want to take it apart, so I taped it...and pulled the chrome off with the tape....

Me: ...the only question is.....flat or gloss? Captain Awesome: Why not both? Me:

....I would love to have the back half of a Micargi Cheetah......

Holy crap!!! Where do you live? It is well and truly summer here!

Matti, Karate Chicken, those are both great. Thanks.

Awhile ago I saw a picture of an older classic-looking cruiser with two top tubes. Since then I have been trying to find a company that makes or made tin top tube frames. I have seen the retorted, but that’s not quite what I am looking for. That has twin top tubes an a down tube, but not...
