[Uncle Stretch]

Ok this one is done. I'm pleased with the way its turned out. Due to a deal neither of us could pass on .....This one's heading to Sunny California. It will find a new home at Mark's /Kram. Hope you enjoy it boy. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Rat Rod]

So Mark buys the best looking bike you've built so far?

He must have blown some coin...ha ha. :lol:

 

[Ace]

Congrats Kram, you've bought yourself one helluvah bike ! Loving every detail, hope you'll enjoy riding it.
And congrats Paul, for winning back storagespace in the garage :mrgreen:

I am jealous. That would be a very cool bike to own.

 

[kram]

I can hardly wait to get it! When you're trying to get a bike from someone that they don't want to let go you need to have an ace up your sleeve :wink: . Lucky for me I did!

 

[texasbigjon]

somehow there must be an elgin involved. :lol: :lol:

 

[user 135]

Sounds like an interesting transaction. Are we gonna see a custom portrait (drawing) of Paul? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Markm]

Perfection!!!!

[Uncle Stretch]

Nope he just had something I wanted and I had to use what I had he wanted. Was a good trade. I'm happy and looks like he is too. :lol:

I'm looking forward to finding out what the deal was.

Paul. Excellent finish. Great design. Would you mind showing me the shifter location and set up a little better?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Skip I would .but its in a box heading towards California. I used a thumb shifter. One of the ones that you push forward twice or sideways twice . I stuck it in between the top tube about middle ways up. :wink:

 

[maddogrider]

Cool more room for another. Whats it gonna be man? Maybe a green one :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Nope I'm closing shop for a while. Tomorrow I will start replacing the sheetrock in my garage that I should have done 6 months ago ,instead of building bikes. I'll get back to bikes ,but all the painting ...sheetrock...fence fixing and a few other things will be done. God willing and the creeks don't rise. :wink:

 

[antial]

great build uncle stretch, thak you for make it a real bike...
even it doesnt look like mine (design)
you surely shows a great skill you got...

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Hey Antial I'm sorry it didnt turn out like your picture. I know someone can build it. I tried and it was above my skill level ,almost to the point of driving me crazy. I tried all the techniques I had and they just wern't enough. It did produce a nice bike though.

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Whoooa! Stretch - that is frikkin' awesome! Wow. I thought your last Basman-y build was cool, but this is...just...wow. :shock:
I'd be willing to chuke up some serious coin to own this - it is truly magnificent. Nice colour combo, nice...everything. I'm just at a loss for words here.

Kram? Are you listening? If you ever decide to let it go, let me know??!! :mrgreen:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thanks Hammond Eggz It turned out nice. I'm not sure Mark will part with it ,but you never know. Money talks :lol: :lol:

 

[jOe]

How did I miss an Uncle Stretch build?!? This is awesome. (One of many beautiful U.S. creations.)
