After an extensive jig build, the bike is starting to take shape! Talk about building anticipation!

Could that be a awesome build name? Anticipation?

And lots of greasy balls showing around this buildoff time period. I enjoy seeing that.

After a rough start

I did a thing

Cap is getting it moving

With some interesting things planned too. Curious about how he can fill a hole using more holes!!

I love leather grips and when I seen the price... I said I can do that and I did

Matching beverage holder as well! Very nice

I also worked on the custom head badge sticker, which I feel turned out very nicely

Really meticulous graphic design as usual, there's a full set of decals being created too.

More graphic fun:

I cruised 1001 Fonts to find a font with a similar vibe to the Spaceliner font. Then I took some measurements off the guard and broke out the Cricut software... I made up a stencil and placed it roughly where the old script was, then sponge-painted it in. This is how it came out:

@Shrunken_Head_Pedaler this is cool

Also, received handlebars from @Oak Tree
Think they’ll work well.

Heck yeah, that'll work!

Double highlight, nice assist, @Oak

@SwissGuy guy running around Berlin to find me a part thats hard to find here.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Awesome stuff gang!

This thing is fearsome, scary... The frame is huge, tall bottom bracket, seven inch crank. I can’t believe that hooligan scorchers raced these things for money on city streets and sidewalks. No brakes, very grunty gears, the fastest thing in the city. I’ll have to take it very easy, you could kill yourself on one of these so called safety bikes

Epic thread, fantastic outcome

Looks like E Aspen Ave. in Fruita, CO when I moved there in 1995.

It's a bit different now, thanks to bicycles and some vision.
