Digging the color scheme.
Glad to see you jumping into the fun.

Looks like the same adapter that I used. Did you have any problems getting it to fit? I had to take some material off of mine to get it to go in. Just wondering if it was the bike or the adapter.

Looks the same, it fit fine, the bolts need about 1/4" trimmed off.

LOVE IT!!!

"Roadmaster" from the winter build off that never got past a pile of parts. Finally got this thing painted, single stage enamel. Minty green with some orange accents. It will be pretty basic and clean. And comfortable to ride, which is pretty important for me. Bookmarking so I can show consecutive progress shots.

Added a photo, got rid of my first bookmark!

Knocked out a couple more bookmarks. See page 1

Crispy clean!

Put a proper seat on it. Ripped out another bookmark. See page1!

Smashing bookmarks like a boss. Pretty close to being done with this one. Rides super nice, quiet and smooth. It may get some pinstripe work, but not sure of the time frame for that. Scouting a good place for some final photos. See page 1 for some updates progress pics.

Grip Wells have a nice profile and they're black.

Beautiful bike, and a wonderful paint scheme

I like the color choices and it is very clean.

Also when it gets dinged up down the road you can rename it mint chocolate chip!

Yeah, this only my second painted bike in the stable. Find myself too over-protective with them at times. Then I say, chuck it, they're only bikes! I do love me some mint chocolate chip though!

Had some issues with the 3 piece crank set up, so skip tooth it will be. Nice peaked crank, twisted heart chain ring, NOS Diamond chain.

As much as I liked the orange Oury grips, they get dirty way too easy. I'm one to work on a bike, then jump on it (with dirty hands most of the time) for a test ride. Grip Wells have a nice profile and they're black.

Yes sir, been riding this one quite a bit. Headed down to the Olde furniture mill for a couple photos. See page 1

Looking good!
I do find myself confused by the "everything on page one" set up, but the bike is awesome!

Yeah I suppose it could be. This build wasn't quite as involved as my last one, Hombre. I thought it would give a chance for someone to see consecutive pics instead of going through pages and pages. I guess it would have been better to add photos in both ways, that way the viewer would have a choice instead of going back the page one and scrolling down to see the new pic in the bookmarked post. Hopefully your not more confused after this post

This sweet build is clean enough to eat off of.
