Great Job Dean, What did the misses think of it?

Beautiful. The black and white is awesome.

Great Job Dean, What did the misses think of it?

She liked it. Hasn't been on a bike for years. We have the Katy trail here, plus a big fairgrounds to ride on. I think we'll hit up the fairgrounds first, lots of flat paved streets with shade trees, and places to sit if we choose to. Dean

Your wife should consider you a keeper!!! Nice job, beautiful bike.

 

[roadmaster]

WOW!!! that looks great, job very well done. like the little subtle details, like the bell insert and the chainguard script as well as all the paint detail. i have a 61' hawthorne that i need to get started on for my wife and your bike gives me inspiration for hers.
