Thanks guys. Gary, I am going to need to talk to you about how to tdo the ornament tot the fender stub thing, sounds interesting. Think I am going to stick with this little seat and won't be needing the 7 post. I took it for a pretty long ride this weekend and it wasn't bad at all. Cheers!

OK, fixed again, I may have to stop using dropbox.

Sorry trouble with Dropbox again.

Awesome build! You inspired me to pick up PeeWee's Big Adventure on BlueRay. Can't wait to watch it.

Re: Trinidad Colorado Bike Done! Gary Nice pics, your bike looks great, love the 4th picture especially. Hope you had a good ride with her today.

Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed) Here's how the whole bike is looking...

Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed) For the front fender I fabbed a bracket and used this antique stove ornament. Kind of looks like a cowcatcher, but the pic doesn't do it justice.

Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed) There was an extra brace and piece of fender left after cutting. So I added a license plate...

Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed) Since I went with the upright bars, I decided to make it look like a Japanese Bratstyle Bobber. So I bought this little girl's bike seat for $1.50. The pink is kind of growing on me.

Re: American Idiot So the boardtracker bar style on this little middleweight frame wasn't really working for rideability. I switched to some moped bars with a higher rise. Had to cut off off the BMX style cross brace. And since the diameter was too small for the stem, I shimmed them...

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~ NEXT RIDE OCTOBER 22ND ~~ Hope you guys had a great Meet/Show/Ride. I was out of town all this week and just couldn't swing getting up there today. +1 on the pics!

It's the bike I learned how to ride on back in the day :)

It's your call, there are thousands of these frames around. If you like it shiny, then paint it. Personally, I'd leave it OG, but I tend to leave them all that way, even the rusty ones.

A pic will be more helpful than the serial number to ID this bike.

Re: Trinidad Colorado Bike She's a Rocker! Gary Once again, an awesome job! Can't wait to see it in person.

Very nice work! I particulary like the use of the Garelli Moto fork; I used to have a top tank Super Sport XL. Like the paint/rust work that you've done too. BTW, what is that taillight from?

Beautiful build!

Re: American Idiot (Pics Fixed) Found a 4" dia. pipe hanger at Menards for $1.58 Only used about 1/4 of it to make a light bracket to hang off of the stem bolt. Added the pancake horn (another moped leftover) hanging off the bottom of the light. Also some upsidedown Torrington handlebars ($5...

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~ NEXT RIDE OCTOBER 22ND ~~ I'm planning to go to the swap meet on the 22nd, but I may have to hit it pretty early. What time are you guys planning to ride? Geneva costume ride sounds like fun too. Jeff
