5 Star General

Here's the frame I'm starting with...

I started messing around with this frame awhile back and I got so consumed with work that it never progressed to anything. In the meantime I also got some pretty sweet new parts for it (pics coming), so I figured this would be the best time to get it done!

My first build off!

Here are a few initial parts I got awhile back to go on it

Best of luck to everyone, you're all off to a great start thus far!

I hope you just clear coat that original finish. It looks so cool.

I agree. It's in prime condition man.

You bet, I am just leaving the paint as is, I've since cleaned and waxed the frame, tank and rack and its just beautiful.

You see me relieved, that finish is real art! Can't wait to see how it came out.

Parts tease...

Handlebar/stem mock-up (donor fork, only temporary)

I've got some nice old cream grips which I havent decided if I am going to use them yet, I may source some brown ones yet, but this is one of those decisions I can make once I get a full mock up and see how everything works with eachother.

The fork Monark springer fork I got from BankerRat is really awesome. It needs a little surgery to get the seized neck out, and it also needs to be lengthened so it can fit in the tall head tube this bike has, but is a nice original fork and love the quality of it.
