I made my run to Home De Pot this morning, decided not to buy the tap and dye set for $50 to make one minor change to the bike, just bought a new grinding wheel for my drill instead, going to make that stem fit...
Anyway, I gorilla glued the fabric and padding on the seat because it was starting to come off a bit. Rubber bands are till it sets.
here is a blurry pic of some other progress I made so far today:
mounted the headlight, figured out headset spacing issues, added pinstripes to rims... just a few things left to do.
Hopefully will be taking final pics this evening, should be a nice sunset
So I finally got to take the bike for a test ride.
I like the way the bars look here, but I don't know if I really like riding with my knees in my chest...
I might switch the bars out for the originals, upside down or rightside up, I am not sure.
Here is a comparison, with the original bike set-up in the same spot:
Ian is so good with bars. you need to get in touch with him. Some cut down pull backs like he rides with on a couple of his bikes is what this thing needs.
