Going out for a better lighting ride. Had to stop off and get this photo for @The Renaissance Man and his Hopalong Cassidy bars and ornament.

Feeling better after the hot sweaty ride.

Early on I had already decided what I felt was the best photo angle for this build. There is so much that I like about this build, it's kind of hard to find the angle that tries to show the most of the different parts of interest.

Here is the photo, I've chosen as my "voting" pic

And here are the other contenders in no particular order

Went back to one of the graffiti walls today for better lighting and had someone take my pic that was walking by

The first thing my friend Chris noticed about the fauxtina on the fork was the screaming face.
Now I can't unsee it. :D

Been stuck inside for a couple of days observing quarantine for the Kung flu. Feeling much better and decided I needed some fresh air. Beautiful hot sticky day, but it felt great. Went down to the river which was super high and was blessed with a cargo ship and tugs. I never tire of seeing these big ships come in. I had to put my phone in panoramic mode to capture the whole ship.

Get out there and ride the trophies you built!

There’s a lot of stuff over here

This was from a father/son team over on HHI. Their bread and butter is beack bikes, but the kid gave me a super deal on this cool mix of parts.
 
50s JetFlow frame with beehive, Monark deep rear fender, higgins front fender, pair of carlisle lightning dart tires on raised center skiptooth wheels, lazy hearts skippy chainring, nice wide 50s bars, chrome version of the chainguard that I used for StemRoller, good saddle, good stem, grippy muscle bike grips, and custom little axle hub caps.
