FOUND OBJECTS: I'll make this one last photo update before I go to Gothenburg to assemble and deliver the bike... :wink:

g-ratter: No problem! Good to know who to ask when help is needed. 8)

All parts are finished and painted! Phew!!
Here are the striped parts:

Not the best detail shots, but I hope to take better photos on sunday when the bike is done. Stay tuned!

can't wait till Sunday - amazing craftmanship dude!

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Paint looks great! It'll be a class act!

 

[Galtbacken]

Thanks guys!
Sometimes Lady Luck smiles right in your face! I've been wanting to go see an exhibition about renaissance art in Gothenburg this summer, but not had any opportunity to go there. So I thought now would be perfect timing to go see it at the same time I deliver the bike. Today I looked up what date is the last to go see it, and sunday august 15:th is the final day of that exhibition. Things fall into place.

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Cool! Where are you bringing the bike?

 

[HotRodJen]

love the chain guard!!!

 

[Half Link]

Galtbacken!! My friend that is looking amazing! :shock: I love the way the chain guard turned out and man that striping came out great! Can’t wait to see it all together! Yet another Great Job from the great one!

Side note: If you don’t post any pictures of the Renaissance Art in Gothenburg shoot me a pm with some pictures. Sounds like that would be really cool to see!

Later, HL

FOUND OBJECTS: The lady who asked me to build her this bike (she didn't actually say "build me a bike inspired by a -57 Fairlane" she said "I want to have the coolest bike in Gothenburg" and I've tried my best :lol: ) lives in Gothenburg, so that's where I'm heading tomorrow.

HotRodJen: Thank you so much, glad to hear it!!

Half Link: Thanks buddy! I'll make sure to take some photos for you at the exhibition if I'm allowed to bring the camera into the museum.

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

She will for sure! One of a kind and a Galtbacken! 8)

You make some of the coolest stuff Galtbacken, I can't wait to see this one all put together. Also, thanks for linking to that step-by-step on the seat cover, I've got to re-cover one this weekend and you've inspired me to try and get creative with it.

 

[Oldspeed]

[Galtbacken]

Thanks guys, and your very welcome mesome!

Here's the finished bike:

Thanks everybody for taking the time to watch what I've been up to, and for all your kind words and comments!!

 

[Crank!Basti]

Awesome! *speechless* ....

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

That is just awesome Galt!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

WOW! That's a beautiful bike. It looks like a 'factory' produced unit, vs. a hand-built couture bike. Your workmanship, the quality of product and attention to detail on all of your work is amazing.

You inspire many,
Dr. T

:mrgreen: All of the above!^^^^^^^^ :mrgreen:

 

[XC204]

I agree with Skipton ......WoW! Every thing just flows from one thing to another sooo smoothly.

 

[kram]

Wow it turned out awesome. That's a ladies bike I would ride! The paint work, color combo, striping, and all the custom parts really are beautiful.

 

[mesome]

Looks so good I do believe it deserves a....

 

[g-ratter]

Love the silver/white/red paint scheme. A buddy of mine used it years ago for an airplane and I always thought it was classy looking.
The question now is "Can you top it?"
