I've been thinking about a headbadge so I'm using this head tube I cut off something. Someone spray painted over the sticker so when I got the sticker off it left the outline I could use to cut the headbadge from.

Just need to get my daughter to cut me out something on her cricket and paint. I've also been redoing a messinger 2 piece seat recovered it with leather from a couch and repainting the bottom part. While I had it apart I modified it a little by cutting the "bridge" part out so I could flip the seat clamp up so I could get the seat down over the post

I think it turned out ok for this being only the second or third time I have redone a seat. I need to fix the nose spray some glue in there and clamp it till it dries.
 
im a fan of the "white wall look" to me. in my most honest feeble opinion, rekon the white walls help tame down the red coz I see youve gone with the red bars and head set, Hmmmm yep the white walls balance it!
the bike as a whole regardless of tyre selection is outstanding mate! well done, looks factory brand new!

Thanks I appreciate that I was going to have red bars but I missed the whole top part when painting and I ran out of red paint. Didn't want to go buy another can to repaint it but I had white left over so I just painted it white.
Beuatifully contrasting colors :inlove:
Thanks
 
Had a little bit of time after work today so I went to my shop and put the rack back together and put it on. Then I put the handle bar back on with the grips that came on the bike when I got it not sure if they are original or not.
Then I took it outside for a couple pics and to see it outside for the first time all together. Still need to figure out something for the headbadge or just not worry about it now and couple assembly touch ups. Going to take both my bikes to the new park this weekend and get some final pics. I had to take my other build out to get this bike out so I went ahead and took some pics of both bikes together.

Nice pair😎
 
Couple of beauties!
Digging the paint on Lucky Strike. You should have used a Lucky Strike cigarettes' sticker as a headbadge.
