Military bikes ok?

[Thxcuz]

I am building a military style bike. I was never in the military unless you count 4 years of JROTC in high school. Is that disrespectful to the military? I see a lot of military bikes on line and I love the olive drab no nonsense look of them, I just don't want to offend any current military or vets. What do you all think?

Quite a few on here somewhere.

Maybe I'll make it a Boy Scout theme, The color would be the same and I was a boy scout (and current cub scout leader) I think Murray or Huffy had scout themed bikes back in the 70's

I wouldn't worry. Make what you want to ride.

I think it's very respectful actually.

PM me if you need army green grips. I have them.

Is there a brush on cammo paint in a small can? If I decide to put my bike bug engine on it I want it to match and I don't want to disassemble it to rattle can it.

Try a good hobby store, they have camo colors for military modeling

I think it's a solid idea to build a themed bike as you describe. I am dropping off a Felt Slater that will be polished to perfection. It will have Noleen forks which look like landing gear, balloon tires, custom nose art decals, ejector seat decal, and a few other WWII era touches. Go for it. You will never know how many smiles you bring about.

Nothing looks better than D-Day invasion stripes over shiny metal if you ask me...
