Well I worked all night to get her road worthy for the Clawson parade. I've been up for 36 hours now. I stripped down the parts and sprayed the frame with a hammered copper. Ha! it looked more like hammered poo poo. So while in Lowe's getting stuff I see this color on clearance. So I got a few cans. It's this limey yellow green. I grabbed the wheels of a junk Murray and the rear was wild when I put it on and the wobble only got worse as the day went on. I only need it to get through the parade anyways.
So here are some pics -

Oh wow....this bike is killer. The paint color just makes the frame even cooler. Love the white wheels, spokes and skull and cross bones caps too, really brings it all together.
Oh yeah...how does it ride?
Very nice work Budz!!!

Brilliant work man!
Very cool. Color works well. One thing you need to keep with you at all times when riding that bike... before photos. People will never believe what it started out as unless they see it.
Turned out really cool!! Great colour!
Randy you are right about nobody believing me. I got that response a lot on the parade route.
People along the parade route were asking if it was a Schwinn or if it was a Trek. Back at the bike shop one of the guys said I should combine them and call it Shrek, lol

We've got some pics of Mr. Zilla riding it, I'll try to post them along with others at dinner time.
There was one modification done to make it parade worthy.
Here is a few from the parade.

I hasd to edit this cause I posted in the wrong thread and now it says I have to post something. :roll: Sorry
Sorry Budz for jacking your thread. I forgot where I was.
Chainy, that's quite alright. Us Freakbikers always stick together. If it was anyone else - we would have a throw down!! hahaha
Yyzmec - don't worry, the fur will be leaving VERY soon. I tried and tried to let it grow out for my new job, but I can't take having hair on this melon any more!

The bike turned out fabulous. The lines, color, and components blend together beautifully. I'm not surprised people have a hard time believing that you started with a piece of furniture. Had you not painted the frame people would have no problem seeing your genius and vision. Once again, beautiful build.
