Well the paint on my frame is completely done

I like how the colors turned out so i'm stoked

Now i only have to paint the headlight, the rear fender and the chainguard and then paint is al done!
Man i hate sanding!

But then comes the fun part putting it al together and that is the thing i'm looking forward to!

Thanx for watching

Yeah today i had nothing planned except working on my bike so i got a lot done! Started painting the last green parts, the fender , , chainguard and the headlight.

Then it was assembly time!
First up, lightcables..

Mounting the taillight

Assembling my frontend

the headlight has a button on it to switch it on and that also switches on the taillight

I found this speedometer in a box so i thought why not!

Mounted the crankset.

And then i did my last paint job that was left, the red bits on the fender and the chainguard

Oh i also mounted the steer and the saddle and the kickstand of course but i forgot to take pics of it so i'll post these later tonight...
Now i'm waiting for the paint to dry and then mount the fender and the chainguard, mount a chain and pedals and the i think i'm done

Thanks for watching

Love those tools!

Luke.

Tool board looks great, but too organized. Looks like it needs tool checkout tokens. Frame looking interesting.

This morning i was up really early cause our cat thought i was time to get up
So straight out of bed into the garage!
Riveted the fender and the chainguard with copper rivets and mounted them

Mounted the chain and the guard

Still waiting for my pedals to come and it was raining so no test drive yet...

Had a little window with no rain so i set her outside for a quick photo

If the weather is better tomorrow i'll put some pedals on her and go for a testdrive

Thanx for watching

Thanks!

So i bought this copper thermos on craigslist for 5 bucks and i'm thinking of adding it to my build between the seat tube and the rear fender but i'm not sure yet..

I also found a headbadge from Gazelle since it a originally was a Gazelle i decided to use it

The weather was dry-ish so i mounted some pedals and decided to go for a test drive
And.... She rides really nice! Im using a 38t front chainring and a 24 t rear sprocket and combined with the two speed kickback i have a light gear to pull up and the other for when im at speed (well speed... cruisespeed )

Ok so i'm dropping the thermos idea because i cant fit it between the seat tube and the fender
So i'm calling her done, i'll take some pics tomorrow and place it in the finished bike section.
I had a lot of fun building it and i like the result! Thanks for al the inspiration!!
