Early Kufftom.... BO fail!!!! with pics.

[Mr. Kool]

After month of waiting postman just delivered this this morning...

I'm like a child!!!!!!!

Intended to ride it as is but don't trust pics...it's very rusty, repaint is really rubbish and sprocket bearings seem completely destroyed. I see it finished in my head but don't know if I will have time to finish it during build off. Still waiting for parts to create my dream bike.

Don't know at the moment which way to go with it but...I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

[Mr. Kool]

I can feel the pressure now!!!!
Starting with such a beauty is not easy for me.... don't want to kill it but can't leave it in it's original shape.... AAArrrGhh!!!! Don't know what to do!!!!

 

[Funkme]

This is the fast build I have ever seen...
You will figure it out.Just have a cold one and marinate a little.

Whack some pedals on it and take it for a spin to see how it feels. Let the bike speak to you.

A laid back seat post would me my first addition.

It'll be a good one whatever you do.

That's a sweet package for anyone to receive.
I imagine that it is even more special being how scarce something like that would be in Switzerland.

 

[Mr. Kool]

Sure it is. It's like I'm 10 and it's christmas!!!!
Can't stop looking at it!!! Now I have to start...

 

[Mr. Kool]

Yesterday night I played with wheels...I love big wheels.

and tires...and I love whitewalls...

also want a lower stem but maybe not this one...

Waiting for these parts...

...to start buiding it.
For now I'm hunting for wheels.

As a lover of early kustoms, here is my inspiration:

The Calori coupe

See why?

Ideally it has to be black but don't want another black bike.

I really like the top pic with the FAT blackwalls....but that's just me!

 

[Bike Bum]

Cool. That chain guard has a 1937 LaSalle grille shell. Great inspiration.

 

[Mr. Kool]

Love fat blackwalls too...not easy to find ones with a vintage style pattern.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

The Calori coupe is an awesome piece of inspiration!

Have you looked at the Electra Vintage Diamond tires? They come in all black 26x2.35, nice and fat.

PS. Great inspiration, great bike.
Cheers,

The guard mimics the tank gills nicely.
Those deep fenders should look good too.
What paint scheme are you thinking or is it too early for that?
