EDIT: As it turns out, I also have a couple of 36-hole drum brake front hubs (off an old downhill-racing off-road wheelchair),

Can we see a video?

I think I am going to put some chrome ones on that I have... Thank you though... Unless you think we should paint all chrome white to be as close to the picture as possible.....

Sugestions?

Peatbog,
I'd say thos look spot on!

garagegoon,
Are you 'envisioning' a 'weatherd' look like your Flying Falcon, or a shiny 'polished' look with gloss black frame/fork?

Just askin'...... :roll:

Cheers,
Dr. T

Whoa! Going for a true 'black-n-white' reproduction of herr_rudolf's image?
How cool is THAT?!!

I think a polished look is what I am going for... gloss black and chrome... maybe just do the wheel hoops in a gloss white to match the RRB plate on front of bike....

I think the coolest accent color would be an off-white/ivory instead of bright white. I think it would up the vintage vibe a bit. Just puttin' in a couple of pennies.

That's easy. We just finished a "build off", everyone might be a little burnt out. It's great that 5 or 6 people stepped up. More than likely after some progress has taken place, MORE will jump in. Heck, I didn't donate the fork on the first one until they had been building for a few months!......As soon as it's realized that there are parts that are REALLY, REALLY needed, people will come forward.....Might have to take a collection for the TWO slicks that will MAKE the bike. :lol:
