Guaranteed to turn a few heads, Steve ! The red boots actually catch your eye, why not complete the triangle with red grips, or a red seat? Awesome job on the polish work too! I was going to clean u the rims on my newest creation, but thought twice seeing as it was supposed to be a R.R. style B.T.
I now know that you can mix vintage with bling and come up a winner!

That's RAD!

How funny we both posted our (almost) finished creations on the same day.

Those Skull Skates bars are too much. I need a set, bad!

Nice lookin when all said and done. The redwalls make the white and black frame stand out.

Thanks guys...I really enjoyed building this bike.

I think the tires are Kendas...my LBS had them at the bottom of the stack.

I only wish the headbadge on this bike was red instead of teal.

Definitely need a smaller chainring on this bike...or thighs like Carl Lewis. :lol:

Bike turned out good, I like the redwalls, they make it pop.

That is one beautiful looking bike. The old and new match up very well Steve.

your are turning some Serious heads at The Museum Steve.
The guys who have replied in your post, are Heavy hitters, so the comments are
from True old Schoolers.

It looks GREAT...I Love it!!

and a 16 / 39 is a good Gear ratio for a 26 Cruiser.
It's a Bit slow outa the Hole, but you can really Burn up the streets at Top speed with that Tall Cadence.

it looks Awesome Steve, I might put a set of Skin Wall / or Gum wall, Comp II Style BMX Tires.
Their is a guy who sells the Comp 26, knock off's on e bay every day.
They are actuall a half decent tire for the Price.

But true Old School Panracers in a 26 x 2.125 Front.....and a 26 x 1.75 rear, is a Tradintional 26, race Combo.
With the Front tire being bigger.

you did very well Steve, it looks incredible!!!

and I sent the Link and Photo's to P.D. ( who owns Skull Skates )
I have seen his 26 collection, and I know he will love this one !!!
