Hooked up the front brake today, but more importantly started on the tank.

Got my dropstand done today.
 
I vote other.
As in natural patina.
It's looking good in all the pics. That og fender patina can't be faked. Bits and details in copper and brass would set this thing OFF. I like it as is....

I just realized there's no fork struts.
On a motorized build?

I'm with Guitarlcarl on this one. A few cream-colored highlights around the head tube and top tube to match the fenders, a wet sanding of same to weather them, maybe a 'wash' of wood stain, coffee or tea...then rust the frame to match. After that, a light scrub with cleanser to make the old and the new blend better, clear coat the whole thing and then add some brass bits (also lightly wet sanded and tarnished then coated.

It would be AMAZING. :rockout:
 
My #415 chain came today. Next is to make a chain tensioner.
