Test ride. Everything works so just a few things to tidy up on and ready for paint

Nice work Chad! Bike looks sweet; and I still like those red rims and bare frame....but it's your bike. Looking forward to the paint!

Woops forgot to bring it in last night! More to come later today hopefully

Whoa Chad!
Look like you put a set of 'snow belted' tires on that klunker.

Can't wait for the 'unveiling' !

 

[OddJob]

Has the bike thawed out yet, Chad?

Well I brought it inside and all the snow is gone, but by the time it melted so had my motivation lol. No progress as of yet

Some progress finally. Got it all broke down for paint. Have a few thing to weld, the cable stop and my spacers for the derailer

Hey Chad, sounds like from the weather forecast, you could just set it outside today for a nice "powder coat".....

 

[cthomps]

Not much progress but got the spoke nipples taped so I can paint the hoops. Will sand the frame later today. Supposed to be getting painted Friday. Got a little surprise in store for the paint, you will have to wait for finished photos to see it though.

Got some upgrades. The plastic walmart junk from the original bike won't cut it

Like the white pedals. So, no spoilers on the paint job till she hits the 'Finished' line, eh?
I'm sure it will be cool!

 

[cthomps]

All masked for paint.

Hmm camo/forest wrap? Nice.
Looking forward to this.
I've been thinking of wrapping a frame.

The suspense is on! I will reveal more as I go, but it is not a "wrap"....

Do you own your own setup, or having it done?

I do not have my own setup I just happen to know a guy that does

10-4. I was interested in how well the home rigs work, but having a friend that does it certainly trumps that idea.

That whole process still seems magical to me.

Btw, awesome choice on the pattern for the direction you are going in. Some of you guys building here leave no stone unturned; and that level of attention to detail is inspiring.
