My new build

[The green machine]

Whats up everybody?! I'm from Atlanta, name is Mike, and had some posts on here a while back and couldn't
find them. Anyway, I got a project I'm working on and wanted to post more pics. I haven't done much but
strip the paint and finally got a seat.

The seat:

Still not sure what color to paint the frame.

Thanks. It's mostly underground Hip Hop. I would say 95% is. Anyway, I stripped the paint with a wire brush wheel I guess it's called and a corded power drill. You can get a wheel at any hardware store. They run about 5 bucks.

Parts are on the way. Stay tuned!

HERE'S A LITTLE UPDATE:

i GOTTA BUY A NEW STEERING TUBE. CUT IT TO SHORT. OH WELL, LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

How much too short? Sometimes you can shave a little off the head, if the tube is same diameter throughout, and the internal lugs or welds are not too close. (or you could buy a new tube like you said, they actually come in different lengths.)

Its to short. I already ordered a new tube. Here is an idea I might do to the frame.
