im liking the extra rake from it being flipped. it lowers the stance a bit too.
if i wasnt so set on this crush idea, id be tempted to leave it raw metal and rusted rims.
i wont be able to make it... thats the weekend of nascar at michigan, and i plan on attending.
and the crush wont be a quick ordeal... im going for perfect paint with it. these two were ment to be quick and ratty. orange crush is the show piece.
alright, lets play catch up.
starting point [fork legs uncrossed]:
wheels [reflective pinstripe] with more rust than you can see:
brooks:
tank plates:
paint teaser- bars and stem:
half way through the paint process- rear fender
mock up:
if you look a little closer at the picture, the crank and chainring are there. i got some pedals for free too...
so more like a bike without a chain or seat poast.
so i go to nates house to get a $90 fork and frame... and somehow walk out with $135 of goodies.
flightliner frame
rat trap fork
coaster brake wheel set [with tires]
bars and stem
brooks saddle
careful guys, hes a smooth salesman.
