Looking forward to it!We'll see, I haven't done it before, but the whole idea with the Borax is to get the paint floating better. I have some other pieces to dip too, some are obvious, like the fork, others will be a cool surprise.

Yessir, I'm liking the dragster look. May tweak the forks some like Luke said, and today I found this...I'm imagining a black skinny tire with the 20" wheel in the front....if you go with the 16 and a skinny black might have a dragster look to it, and like Luke said, rake the forks and it would be really drag! Depends on your vision for the overall build...these frames are cool!
Old ten speed/drop bars/racer bars are the go for that! They are usually 160-170 degrees or so... I chopped a set today to build my looptail stays and have another pair waiting for when it is time to build my bars...Now I gotta find me another set of bars with a bend at the grips greater than 90 degrees...

Ah but I need that straight part before and after the bend...
to do the Screamer style butterfly bars...
Punch list at less than a month in...
1. Paint (go get some Borax)
2. Bars (find another set of bars with >90 deg bends)
3. Tires (I'm really diggin' Cult gums w/ blackwalls)
4. Seat (polo anyone?)
5. Shifter (yeah that's a major hurdle for cool factoring)
