Red Bent

[sickboy]

I wanted to join in the fun.
I got this bike and book yesterday.
My goal is to learn about bikes while making this thing more red.
Thanks to everyone sharing their builds they are an inspiration

Removed some stickers, put on red tires, more red bits to follow. Thing this is a blast to ride. Thanks to everyone on here for building cool bikes

That makes a big difference.

At first I thought this was done by the previous owner, but after looking at pictures I realized this is the factory cable management. Maybe some moto brake clamps?
Additionally I am fighting with a very resistant crank arm that decided to strip itself (more likely operator error) one side was great, just as I thought I was going to get the other side I realized that it wasn't moving at all.

Imma call it done, for now.
Going to think about seat cover options and a possible change in handlebars.

New front wheel, first one I have made, still trying to achieve radial trueness

'Bent bikes look pretty attractive at my age. I have been checking out the "Bike E" on craigslist and Fleabay. The box frame looks strong and simple.
