Re: The 700 Club~~Monark Street Race~~ Tire,Brown,Hub

Big Thanks to Heritage Bicycles for ordering the Big Apple tire for me.
What ever you want to call it....28x2.15 or 29x2.15 or 700x55 all the same tire.





Just a little tall :roll:


Going to pick up a 29"x2" tube later today...then I will see how much of the drop outs I have to grind.

I do like how the tire looks in the frame!................. I have already started to remove the reflective strip.




Some brown spokes



Brown spokes and one orange one :wink:



Front Hub before Brown..



During paint...



When going with a urban street racer look somethings got to be asymmetrical :wink: :mrgreen:

The other side will get painted the bright orange.



Look what showed up yesterday!







Still need to figure out the fork.

Lots more to come!

Thanks for looking!

Surprised you're removing reflective stripe being as you're a commuter.

That's looking Good! Are you going to have any dropout left? Do the orange spokes go on the brown side of hub and brown on the orange side. Be back fri. If you run out of grinding room on dropouts.

Skip, I really like how this one is shaping up... you just might inspire me to do something out of character... :shock:

Re: The 700 Club~~ Monark Street Racer~~ Tire,Brown,Hub

maybe try bending the long forks a bit with a pipe bender... if you don't like it you could still stretch the first one...

I totally agree, tell me how it goes, I like those tires but hate the reflect stripes

The brown spokes and other components are looking sweet!
The fat tires look too cool,
Think I'm going to go back to a 45mm on the back of the Spaceliner :lol:
Can't wait to see it all come together...

Getting some color on the rear hub...













This will make sense when its done.

Good News!... The Fork Doctor aka XC204 is saving my butt again and is welding on a long steer tube on the good fork for me.
THANKS GARY!
