Fire Arrow

Very nice job. Clever paint job and it really pops!

This is my new neighbor. Jeremy Kravitz 832-804-0292. He powder coats and couldn't help stopping by the house when I was out front working on something. He has been practicing distressed finishes and I have been polishing a few things for him to candy coat instead of using Chromecast. If your in DFW it is worth looking him up. I should mention "we" powder coated it". I have not gone soft in my old age and I am still doing everything myself wether I know how or not I just had supervision this time

I took the guys out to Charlie's barn yesterday and they both brought back vintage projects. It was like going to Disney World for them.
I needed to find the right headlight anyway and Charlie had a couple he wanted me to OA bath. Those two couldn't stop talking about what they are going to do with their bikes all the way home

Long story

If I have to fight with a headbadge I might as well use a cool one instead

I am probably just making truss rods for it. Kate picked Lamp is converted to LED and halfway to taillights in the handles. Really like my headbadge though. I am just sayin.

Short backstory:
Technically my helper asked for the "full Romeo" on a bicycle when I was still fumbling with my torches. At any rate I am compelled to believe he is supervising. I may have knocked the misfit collection of mismatched parts he gifted me out of the park to a sweep of honors at Ratrodtober. Pretty sure I did based on my 1st 2nd (and clandestine reveal I was 1st through 5th place in bicycle. I entered five that day.) trophies. Helper pictured here in super bad a$$ photo fooling around with fuel can. "Indiana Larry" also featured before and after... I wasn't really satisfied with the Monark. I partial traded it for this one and there you have it. "Larry" formerly known as the Fire Arrow, I will probably refer to this one

Had a little battery mishap but all the spaghetti is done. I think I put a bad cell in this one. It fits in the Makita dinosaur charger. ;-) I just taped a single 18650 something whatever in there and it works great anyway

Now I have to figure out how to get a good picture of it

Mostly done here. Just one more test lap. This one is pretty quiet

Did I mention this finish? I already forgot

I really love everything about this bike except the seat. I'm used to seeing springs and leather on sweet rats so maybe I'm missing something. Is it a unicycle seat?

Carl.

That's a person's solo Polo saddle. Kind of halfway to a banana seat. I may use something else. I need a longer seatpost myself so I typically don't use a low sprung saddle on mine. Read the fine print lmao

Sent from my E6833 using Tapatalk
That gives me an idea actually. I have a saddle frame here that needs a new cover. Maybe I can put that solo Polo on the long spring frame. We rode it yesterday and remembered I haven't rebuilt this hub yet. I want to use a trigger shift in a box with a suicide shift lever and three speeds. Pretty sure I still have plenty of time to finish both of those mods

Just when I thought I was done. This bike says nope. Try again buster
