Well it was another fun time with all the cool and innovate bikes and builders!!
Can't help but put up a lot of pics again because it's a fun bike
My Build off thread
viewtopic.php?f=75&t=72106&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Started with this $20 pre war Shelby Supreme that I found with FIL
Ended up with a Path Racer for River Road (Post this pic please)
This build off was even more fun because I got to make my first idea, Flat Black and White
and give it away to my Great Nephew J, and then build one for myself
The Path Racer has:
Columbus Italian Road bike fork
FSA BB with Sugino cranks set and MKS stream pedals
Black hubs/spokes, PBR rims with red alloy spoke nipples
Alloy modern seat post/saddle with solid aluminum round stock attached
Bontrager Hank 2.2" back slick, Specialized Fat boy 1.25" front slick
Frame is bare metal polished a ridiculous amount :lol: but it's shiny
I like the way they dipped the frame in braze so it almost looks like frame darts
"S" is for Shelby, Supreme, and Steve (and not Schwinn :lol: )
"Copied" lots of cool others with the bare metal and black wheels
Like the way the frame reflects and pops against them
It rides nice and straight and is down to 25.6 lbs so it's easy to just cruise no handed
Couple of industrial shots on the way home today, got about 50 miles on it so far
Like how the sky shines off the frame even in the shadows
It's so cool there are so many more cool bikes now on the road because of this contest
I know I won't be able to post more pics :lol: so stay tuned...
Thanks for looking and all the fun mixing it up on the threads
