I'm entering my Abteilung Cruiser

They only make so many of these and once they are gone you can only buy one second hand . Lucky for me i was able to score one from the owner of the company .
Dont ask i have no idea why its pink plastered with stickers ?
Anywho here is how it sits now

Never heard of one of those, but it would look pretty sick "sitting on a park bench"

This will give you a better idea I did a quick mock up today . I had a set of peek bars and I put them on to see how they look .
I have to say I like the way they flow with the rest of the bike .
For the wheels I will change them most likely but still keep it three speed . I wanted an Alfine 8 but I this this will be just fine .
As for colors I have not decided yet im thinking Silver but it's early yet [emoji4]

Oh yeah. Sweet ride. Has a real nice stance to it. Love the rake on that fork.

The multi-colored pink is kind of growing on me....

If that's a factory paint job .IMO I'd leave it as it is . Nice frame !

Stickers? They gotta go. I'm wondering what a clear red would look like over the pink... cool frame though.

Great frame to work with! Looking around, they call that color bubblegum:

You are right about the curves of the Peek bars flowing well with the frame!
I like the funky fork offset at the top of the headtube.
Do you have that canti seatpost that is in the pic that Barry posted?

I could only ride a pink bike if it were overly cool. And it couldn't be a daily thing for me. Just not my color. Pink Being rare is still pink. ( had this conversation with a friend about a pink hemi GTX in a box years ago...)

Personally, if I were for me, I would layer a clear, then overlay it with the color of my choosing...

My 0.02, do the color the frame tells you to paint it...

Building..... Riding.....

I thought pink and black cars back in the '50s were the coolest, and so did lots of others. Your bike, IMHO, would look super sweet with black scallops.

Translucent red over pink as a base coat is not pink anymore. I'm thinking it'd be an electric red, shoot some thick clear over that for some depth.

[The Renaissance Man]

Those bars work perfectly with the frame.

Cool names as well. Panther Pink, and Moulin Rouge.. I like to see them as a rarity. A few in the local club, no b bodies that color but 3 or so ebodies and an a body. Given my choice...

Anyhow, The more I look at the stickerless frame, the more I like it. You can do some pretty cool things with it. ;-)

The stickers are interesting...was wondering if that was some special deal since you got it from the owner of the company? Really cool frame.

 

[Funkme]

So they are only making 50 of these at 1000 a pop for the frames.With shipping worldwide.
Curious what number is yours? ..../50
Interesting frame not sure if I like it,hate it or love it. Certainly a head turner.
Here is one with a tank.

Change the color,looks like someone else requested the pink.

Will be watching this build and see how it ends up.
Here is 18/50 on tour.
