Here comes your 13th Mental Breakdown.
Guitarl.
Here is a version from one of my favorite 80s bands. Jason and the Scorchers.
Well as you know I can't count higher then eight.
Ok back legs might look good frame color.
Og fork. Looks better to me too.

Thanks. I think the one where it's on top of the garbage cans may be the best picture I've ever taken...

I feel a name change on the horizon.
Although I have the "Lucky 13" decals in hand.
I've hinted here, and spoken with friends over the weekend about the color I want to do on this Jaguar. I also think The Renaissance Man and I have the same palette in mind. I'm hoping the ancient theme of mine will separate them enough. So I will try to do a faux stone paint on my frame and tank along with some gold and copper detailing to see if I can create an "Aztec Jaguar" Some folks have pointed out how nice the patina is on this Schwinn, my answer is black Jaguars are easy to find. But I will be doing some test painting before I strip this one. If the paint idea works out the name will change. It's nice to have a backup theme, odd that it's the current one...

Mexico has a beautiful culture, and the drug cartel references weren't as funny as they were small minded. The video game stuff was odd too. The Jaguar Warriors were awesome though.

Playing in paint
precursor to cutting and adding 3 or 4 inches between the kickstand and the bottom bracket...
along with the subtle stretch it should tilt the seat post and head tube back a bit. Soon.

another paint chop
better view
a little more rake but I'm concerned about scraping
I could use a smaller crank but...I'd rather not, so that will probably dictate how far I can stretch the tubes by the kickstand. A pie slice out of the dropouts will help the chain line if needed.

Cool way to work out the kinks on your ideas with virtual mockups.
