#9

[armandgil]

This is my entry :mrgreen: . The name came from my mock up build and the wife saw it and said " It's a bike once it has wheels on it and that's number nine.....don't you think you have enough bikes?" And #9 was born.

Okay, where did you get a threadless fork that looks like that?

Maybe you're playing tricks on us. :wink:

No smoke and mirrors, it's a quill adapter. Looks sweet doesn't it?

Nice contrast

The orange rims and black spokes look awesome.

Reminds me of some '70s factory hot rods with orange stripes! Just looks cool.

I wish they were the Nashbar 3speed wheels. They're just a single speed coaster brake wheel set I had left over from my Norco.
Thanks for the compliments guys! :mrgreen:

That looks too mutch like what I had planned for my build off bike. Didn't you see my concept drawing a couple months ago? ( ha ha, im just playing) Well luckely I hadnt painted my frame yet, because now im going to have to figure out a new color sceem. Darn, my OCD! :mrgreen:

UPDATE

Sorry guys, not keeping the yellow...it was a 50 mph paint job and I have something else in mind. The wheels are done! Found some nice tires at a local LBS with a tread pattern that goes with my inspiration.

Strippin' paint

Wheels are done!

Inspiration!

 

[musclebikes]

Sweet!! I like the tires, they look like motorcycle tires. Now that ive seen the pic of the motorcycle im anxious to see the finished bike.

P.S. Aint strippin paint fun. :mrgreen:

 

[armandgil]

The front end is done! Yay! What a pain in the you know what getting old and new stuff to work together. :roll: But after grinding, smoothing, and some notching here it is. :mrgreen:

Well except for grips. :lol:
