and with custom 2 color led headlight:

i guess it takes a contest for me to "finish" a bike - but ive had a ton of fun!

DEFINITELY a contender to win this build off! Don't know if anybody mentioned it, but to me it looks like a "Hot Rod" Lincoln. GREAT job!

This is my favorite bike so far, I love it! Where did you get that headlight and what kind of headlight is it?

 

[texasbigjon]

that is a great looking bike! :mrgreen: parts combo gives it a great stance that flows nicely! kinda reminds me of an old panhead dresser w/o the leather saddle bags! 8)

thanks for all the great compliments guys to answer a few questions, the headlight i got off of ebay, and the only markings on it say "TRACTOR LENS USA" the led part of it is home made.

again, thanks for all the positive comments! it means a lot to me that all the nonsense bicycle stuff means something to someone, let alone an internet forum. :mrgreen:

Congrats for building a "Great bike",lots of cool parts go well together but ... "nonsense bicycle stuff" I feel so hurt

 

[lobsterboyx]

by nonsense i mean the obsession that keeps me awake at night! :mrgreen: to clear it up, im already thinking about next years build!

 

[ej599]

Great looking bike! Good job.

 

[bikeriderx]

Man! That is uber-retro! Nice job!

 

[rgallen]

Yep, a really nice job and she proved that it is rideable. Cool.

 

[herr_rudolf]

Love it! Cool to see everyone has at least one unique feature on their bike. I absolutely love this twotone headlight set up! You should animate two of your pics as a 'gif'-file... Should work if you take two exact same pics using a 'tripod' when switching the light...
