Thanks! Do think I will use the old seat and grips to keep it an old school budget build. Dig your '61 also.

Had to go gloss to be different but it is ratty so it probably looks a bit satin. You gotta work with watcha got! I got the fall colder mornings to work with right now. Not gonna clear coat it neither. Want it to match up to the fork that is older than the bike.

Realy like the original paint! I wouldn't mind having those whitewalls and the original apes on my ride. Looks great!

Sweet bike! Really diggin' the bars! Love the lines on a Spaceliner and that it's chrome! Nice work! Did I use too many exclamation points? !

They say "once you go black..."!

Re: My 90's Huffy. I've got a Huffy Sante Fe identical to your first pic! I couldn't tell if it was purple or brown! Lol! Thanks for the inspiration! Now it's gotta be my next project bike!

Thanks Henry! This is my other option for a seat and grips. The bike will be black and red with a little white thrown in.

Does it matter that their are some awesome new seats and grips out there? I'm second guessing the whole "used" idea in favor of style! Where does one draw the line? Want to keep it old school but am feeling a conundrum! Black bike=?grips and seat?

A lot of coll handlebars here! This is my small collection.

Gotta throw my '77 Stingray Junior in here!

Taken apart and a little primer under my poor boy paint booth!

These are the old apes I'm using. And the lay back seatpost with Hunt Wilde grips to go with the seat. :D

Sweet! Will have to keep that in mind!

That's one wicked looking bike Chips! What did light the skull with?

The fork with a headlight idea. Not sure about the skull idea yet.

$4 Persons saddle from the local flea market.

I had to save them because I liked the Wald stem and they had brown Hunt Wilde grips that I want to go with the brown seat. Now I may flip the bars for another build.

Guess I will have to save them for another build then! Haha! Just posted my build diary titled "63 Schwinn Geargoyles CC cruiser" in the Builds forum.
