new stretch build

[neophile]

pretty sure this belongs here.......

Here's my new stretch cruiser build.

Frame designed by me, being built by goCruisergo, from Detroit. Midrise apes also by goCruisergo. 26x3" wheels with Sturney Duomatic 2 speed hub and white wall tires from classic cycles in Germany, Brooks B-33 saddle, and leather grips. Forks are O'Malley Girder, with motorcycle style risers.

Picture of the frame, almost fully assembled.

I'm going with a metallic burnt orange paint scheme, but I'm still debating on the color combos; took the kids pencil crayons and colored in my drawing of the bike, a few different options, appreciate your feedback.

orange frame, white wheels, white forks, white bars, black risers, white gussets

I like the design and the color scheme, but orange is my favorite color anyway. It is awesome.

Love it. But I love orange too. Going white spokes and hubs?

Spokes and hubs are black; as is the crank, headset and bottom bracket. Pedals and chain are white.

I'm loving the orange to, and as I was coloring the drawing, I just kept adding color.....kind of leaning towards more than less.....


Thanks for the positive feedback, I'm excited to see the finished frame, but from the picture, it looks exactly as I had envisioned it.....Todd and Stacy at goCruisergo are awesome, check them out on their FB page if you aren't familiar with their work already, go show them some love

fresh from the paint shop; just waiting on a bit of prep work on the forks, then they get sprayed, and we put this badbot together

just stuck a wheel in there to show the contrast with the white wheels; bars, frame, and forks are all going the burnt orange.

Love it! The shape reminds me of an eagle.

 

[neophile]

still waiting for the forks to get sorted out, have a temp pair on the way, ordered in a set of the classic springers in black just to get me rolling until the forks are finally ready....but in the mean time, I started putting things together, starting to get a good feel for how it's going to look; so very excited :mrgreen:

I thought about using whitewalls in combination with white rims too, but didn't know whether it'd look good. But now I've seen this :shock: It's awesome, not only the wheel combo, but the whole bike. professional build 8)

Well, she's almost finished. The forks are a temp set, my proper forks are a custom set being built right now, but I couldn't wait any longer to get riding....then again, this quick solution turned out to be it's own project as well. Apparently these forks do not fit over the 3" wide wheels I'm running, despite the assurances from the ebay seller that they would. However, a bit of creative problem solving, and few trips to Home Depot, we had them working; not the ideal solution, but I really just wanted to get riding, I'll live with the compromise till the bike is finished.

One thing I am thinking about now though, I'm sort of liking the look of those black forks, debating on whether to paint the new ones black as well, or go with my original plan of painting them to match the frame?? Thoughts??

Got a bit of sunshine for some of these pics, really brings out the color; thanks for looking
