My Roadmaster

Not really a new build, just re-doing a bike of mine. It was a flat black bike with brick colored tires, the thing is, I just grew sick of it. The flat black turned chalky and was starting to look like crap, so I stripped my frame down and used some left over samples of brown patina from sculpt nevou that I have.

I am now trying to narrow some choices down, I am not too sure if I want to stick with the springer fork, I think it is the black that is throwing me off,at this point I am pretty sure that I am going to strip it and patina it as well. OR, I might go with the OG fork and truss rod set up, it's still in the air.

I should be wrapping this up by this weekend, really want to have it ready for a cruise on Sunday.

I love how beefy these tires are, 26x2.25, but they are quite a bit taller than my other balloon tires.

Nice! 8) I like it with the blackwalls :wink:

Thanks man, I really like them too. Kind of a bummer I couldn't get them in a black wall without the letters, but they are starting to grow on me. Looks sweet when i'm in motion.

Quick update.

Bars are wrapped, scrounging around for some wine corks to use as bar end plugs, and then they are getting a few coats of shellac.

quick shot I took at my local brewery, used my cell phone. I was going to take some shots with my real camera but it started to rain on me.

What size are the tires? Looks real nice btw. I am starting a similar build after I finish my 74 Varsity.

26 x 2.25.

Biggest tires I could fit without having to modify anything, best part is, I got them for 38$ in store pick up.
