Dark Horse II...New wheels

[outskirtscustoms]

Re: Dark Horse II...NOW IN COLOR!

Gee your almost done... At this speed you could build 1 a week ...

Actually since I scored a 16" / 18"? Stingray with nice tires today and I have another girl's frame (Ross Barracuda) and some leftover paint from this one, and a pair of 16" fan spoke wheels from that speed racer bike I got, I am going to be making a "little sister" version of this one too.

One tip I will give you if you remove all the parts from the frame and lay the frame on the floor crank flat and both rear dropouts touching the floor, then take a 2" wide strip of wood and place it on the floor next to the dropout and make your line with a marker it draws the perfect line to follow. If you look mine kinda go back and up at a 45 degree angle. I didn't want to go any closer to the rear speed holes in the frame. It did take some dremel tool finishing work too but wasn't a problem.

Re: Dark Horse II...NOW IN COLOR!

I decided to do another build with some leftover paint and parts.

Phase 6: Drink beer and assess the competition

There are some AWESOME builds this year! The creativity on this site is truly an awe inspiring sight. It amazes me. I will get back to building as soon as I get time and get out to the hobby shop for paint and paint brushes. Then it's Phase 8: pinstripe. As for phase 7 I got a surprise... :wink:

I love Phase 6!
I think that deserves to be added to the highlight reel.

Actually it's the same as phase 4... :lol: only instead of Corona it's Budweiser Black Crown.

Those wheelie bars really get me.. I like em!! This is a really cool build! Can't go wrong with the Bud Black Crown, smooth tasting stuff right there! Enjoying the assessment of the competition with a cold one - perfect!

I really liked this pic! On a side note, it was this in pic you posted that I first saw my parts pile pic made the home page!
