Hi guys, just a quick intro before I start posting.
Just got back into the bike scene after moving overseas so starting to set myself up in a new place. Went looking for something cool to ride and came up with this one off craigslist. Felt El Guapo, cruisy bike and nice to ride. Loving the Thick Brick white walls. Nothing too fancy yet though but I'll get to modifying it soon enough. Changed out the ape hangers which were a bit geeky (bikes not laid back enough for them) and I'll mess with a few more bits when I get the chance. Plan to put a bent seat post on it to push the seat back some, will hit it up with a new paint job, fenders etc. Might pull out the airbrush??
So maybe a bit modern for you guys but I'm on the look out for some old clunkers to breathe some life back into so hopefully I'll have something interesting to post. Here is the new addition.

I do like them on the whole and right bike but I just didn't think they worked on this one. Made for a far too upright riding position and the distance between headset and seat were too close for the apes IMO. My next ride will likely get the ape hanger treatment, thay can look smooth .
