Re: ***QuickSilver Road Testing***

I absolutely love what you did with the bike but I think it needs a name change something like 32 degrees since your bike has a kind of winter feel to it with the metal flake silver and snowflake sprocket as for that one thing it still needs if you can fabricate a set of fender skirts and put a racing number something like the rear of the vintage indycars in this picture or you could use a sponsor logo instead

Re: ***QuickSilver Road Testing***

Really cool build, it's neat when somebody does something different with that style of frame. I feel ya on the bars though, maybe some drop way down race bars?
 
Re: ***QuickSilver Road Testing***

Are you still in bro??? Haven't heard from you in a while??? It's hard for me to get anything done with this heat, but I know you have A/C in your work area! :lol: Updates? or, are you just waiting for the last minute to spring something really cool on us? :?: :mrgreen:
 
Re: ***QuickSilver Road Testing***

I have been busy working on my project truck, until I got rear ended last week. Prolly gonna total it. :x :x :x

I can call the bike done, but there are a few more things I would like to add if I can find the time.

Re: ***QuickSilver- All Lined Out***

I am glad I am not the only one who sees the beauty in simplicity. I am hoping to get up early tomorrow before the temp outside rivals the surface of the sun to ride it a bit and get some finished pics.
 
Took the bike out for a spin after dinner to snap a few of my finished pics as the sun was setting. I will find some good backdrops for more pics in the full sun to showcase the metallic silver paint tomorrow.

Everything on the bike came from my stash of parts, nothing extra was purchased except the pin stripes.

A bike bell, to keep the gremlins from sabotaging the bike, is hung near the Musselman rear hub.

The Musselman has a bit more character than most hubs.

The Brooks B67 was a gift from my dear wife.
