Nice bike--I mean really, really nice bike. Chuck Taylor's are cool too.

Where did you acquire the white banana seat with the "stitching"?

Thanks peatbog...it seems that for some reason I always find myself wearing "chucks" when riding my bikes...lol..
The banana seat is just a Lowrider brand white sparkle banana seat..http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-SPARK...901?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a9477f8d I got mine at my LBS I paid $28 for it... Talk to Chimichanga I think he might be able to get them too

I like your clubs builds.

Do you ever ride in LA critical mass? I do nearly each month. It would be nice to have more old bikes out there.
