EvansColson Special Commander (Got Evans?)

I flipped the stem which came from a Mongoose Dolomite and added the fog light. The light is ratty black so maybe that ties in with the stem. My saddle may be black along with the grips.

To fender or not? The tires fill up the fenders well.

I think fenders really only look good when the tire fills in the fender gap and these do it. These fenders look great and compliment the hub caps too. I'm really liking this build.

I think the finish of the fender and the bars will look good and balance each other.

I like the look of the stem with the addition of the light. Fenders look awesome.

Love the tires, wings, and moons.
You may want until the tank is on to decide on bars. Sometimes the added visual mass can affect how the bars look.

+1 on the light helping to pull the stem in.
Fenders look good in that pic. The chrome ties in the moonies nicely. Need to see the whole bike to be sure on fenders though.

You still have time to jump in the fray.

Appreciate your input. I have a couple more bar candidates. I need to get a saddle on it to find out how the fit and geometry actually works.

Thanks! Now I'll have to clean up the fenders. They only have a couple of dents.

Worked on the fenders this AM after having a rock chip repaired in windshield. Received the rock from a truck passing me and cutting back in very quickly, a real jerk.
I used Strong Arm brand rust remover and Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. The fenders still have some surface rust, but this is a rat rod bike so that's s good thing, right?

I found a dusty Felt Torqued Cruiser Seat in a LBS on Tuesday. They apparently had this around for awhile due to the dust on saddle and carrier board. It had "old pricing" so I snapped it up. Think it might work out. I had to make a couple of shims out of a scrap seat post and copper pipe to get it to fit in the Evans tapered seat post.

I like that saddle on there. How does it feel? Cory just posted one up in the sale section.

I haven't sat on it yet. Shape is similar to Brooks B17 although with padding.

I put the fenders on. I had to make a relief in the rear moons to clear the fender stay.
