dBd -- double Bar denim...

[metalchewy]

Looks awesome already

what is that pedal stand ? D.I.Y ? pretty cool little thingy

I actually picked this up at OBC. Cool little stand that works well with flat platform pedals... (my favorite riding pedals). The guys at the "Most Hated" tent picked one for me that fit Bomber40 perfectly. Fits this frame too. Their site.

Added a touch of color. Now to look at seats. Put an old black persons on it. Still liking the weathered leather a bit better. Not sure any of the other seats are candidates...

Great tire choice and that stand is cool. Kind of like the leather springer seat on the left in the pic.

This one needs a new mounting bracket bolt, stripped it taking it off...

Cool looking seat, also the hardest seat I've ever had, except the bare metal ones....

My French friend @kanar has something similar on his ride. I saw it on his ride when I rode with the Crusier Brigade in Paris last December. I was actually planning on copying it for my build this year.

Another version of the same great idea

 

[OddJob]

This idea, and variations thereof, will soon be popping up in other builds in this forum....that's just, well, a prediction....

Great looking bike. Love the rusty frame!

 

[metalchewy]

Yesterday, plumbed the in side to the pool, including the panels.


This morning, gonna run DBD a crossed to the big weekend swap meet... .. first long run with this bike..

 

[metalchewy]

Not the right color yet, but found these wheels at the swap meet yesterday.

 

[OneHorsePower]

They look perfect! imo I really dig that 54chevy gray'ish mint color

 

[Chad T]

Yeah I think I dig that color on the rims too. Looks neat with the rusty frame. Might look real cool with that greenish chain guard?

That leather springer looks a little bulky sitting on the bike.

I told my buddy, my plans to paint them, but said i would shoe them up on the bike to see what it would look like. I was pleasantly suprised by the unique look.

Was thinking the same thing on the guard, took this one around lunchtime..



I'm not sure it matches the other green. Will have to look at it a few days. Had another color of paint i was thinkin on also, a midnight copper of my own design...

The seat, agree, looks bulky, but was comfy to ride yesterday. I still need to make the seat decision. Will be swapping thru them again in a few weeks. One seat will speak up as the one....

Not sure yet if the eyes belong..

.

 

[OddJob]

Those eyes may be helpful for hunting lizards at night in the desert, but they seem to overpower the front end and that great fork you have on there. I seem to remember a leather, brown saddle, not a padded one you had on there before? Give that one a shot....

 

[metalchewy]

Thanks OJ, thats the words i was not solidifying. Over powering the nose. Lower a little less, but look sagging with the bars. May save the eyes for the ratty motorized one i am noodling on...


Agree on the seats, this one is my preffered in the bunch.

Was thinking of leather skinning this plastic one...[/URL]

 

[metalchewy]

And back down to parts...

MC, I was at Jo Ann Fabrics yesterday checking out the upholstery stuff. They have a few patterns in a really nice faux leather.....one of them was a Croc Matte Black...pretty cool.

I saw some similar the last time i was in there. I was tempted to grab a yard of it, but the shiny croc i have at home in black and also white, talked me out of it. Even painted a stretch of white, red and tried it on a banana...


Match wise, still thinking at an old pair of pants for that other seat....

 

[metalchewy]

pulled out some paint. Base coat copper
