NEXT!!!!

This one's going to have a throttle. My wife is so cool. It's time to build her something special.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Look.
At.
THAT.
FRAME.
and
FORK!!

 

[Pauliemon]

Finally! The build is in motion. We mounted the fork and fenders. Rims and rear hub are going to the pinstriper this week. Friday the assembled parts go to get the custom rack built and fit. The rack is for the battery. Probably going with a different set of bars.

Wow...this is great!, can I ask is that stainless construction ? just curious but great design the custom triple's bottom bracket has a cool look! very nice!

TSP Demon fork made in Italy. As soon as I saw it I bought it. Here's the description off their website.​

EN grade steel and GTAW (TIG) weldings made with specific EN grade consumables suited for the required torsion (cr/mo)​

Looks great...tidy work!

I was thinking looks kind of cumbersome, doesn't flow. What do you think about encasing it with wood? Batteries are freakin' ugly.

I was hoping you enclose the battery, that frame could make a nice little box with some kind of access hatch. If it's for her, it should be tidy. She doesn't want to look at that.

Enclose it with some sort of woven metal. It’s looking really sharp!!

 

[Pauliemon]

When I say "cumbersome" I'm referring to the battery. I think the rack is a work of art. Like SoK says, "looks great, tidy work". Fab by Anthony of Flying Machine Bike Co out of Fairfield CA. The guy does some phenomenal work. Woven metal,... hmm, I like that.

That looks like modern art to me. And I love how deep that step through area is. Much easier to get on in my eyes.

I love the anodized look. I’ve considered painting one of my bikes in that style…overall the whole thing looks killer.

Yeah, I was going to use these bars. I thought they really tied into the flow of the bike. Not sure I'll use them now.

 

[Pauliemon]

She asks me, "what if I dont like it?". "No problem honey I've got a backup plan".

 

[Pauliemon]

More pinstripes to come. Here's the hubs and rims.

 

[Todd Schlemmer]

Just... WOW

 

[Pauliemon]

Slowly but surely. My wife and I have had a few major setbacks in recent months. Now as Soul II Soul sings ,"back to life, back to reality".

The pinstriping looks great. Is that a Ruff Cycles frame? I've always enjoyed the lines on their frames. Unfortunately, it looks like they might not be producing frames for much longer (mid-June according to their website).
