ORBO I Love Lucy

[One-eyed Sailor]

Simplicity made Lucy possible in a short time period. I had most of the parts on hand.
Coaster brake wheel, fork (adjusted), rest of drivetrain.
I did buy the hammer paint, I'm rather impressed with it so far. Gloss black is closer to dark charcoal.

BIG EDIT: NEW FAVORITE PHOTO (FOTO) FIRST>>>

Sometimes I hold those brooks saddles in my hand and I think they are so big, they’ll ‘take over the bike’

Not in this case. -saddle looks awesome and you get the comfort !! Super cool build

Classic looking klunker. Beautiful bike

 

[Bike from the Dead]

Simple, classy, timeless. Can't get much better than that. That is one fine klunker.
