I'm curious to see how short the cranks need to be...

Started with a set of 170 mm cranks. They just cleared the ground if I stayed in a straight line, lol
I have a 150mm BMX crankset I'm going to use for it now.

Semi-concealed rear brake cabling...
Stringing 1/4" steel auto brake line through 9/32" holes in a curved frame is a real treat, let me tell ya.
An hour and ten minutes later, it's basically complete, save the trimming.
At least the front will be a much simpler straight line run.

Dupli-color self etching primer coat done. Everything is now a military green colour...
Then the first coat of Lemon Yellow on the frame.

That paint pops!
And it's only the first coat, lol
You gonna sprinkle pepper on the last coat of paint? (that'd look so cool)

On the black portions, yes.

Freshly "peppered" fork parts.
Exactly the look I was after with bedliner coating but with clear Krylon spray bomb and $3 worth of ground black pepper from the bulk food store instead, lol

It was quite the scent wafting about.
Heating up Krylon & black pepper on the parts with a heat gun in an unheated garage because it has been in the single digits temperature wise around here the last few days, lol
Time to start assembly...

Somewhat quiet day at work so got the fender painted in a heated garage no less.
Quite the texture I must admit.

Texture is putting it mildly! And I've never know pepper to be mild in any form! Like that old 70's commercial, "Thatsa spicey a meatballa"! (in your case, lemon)
That fork is a monster....can't wait to see it all assembled. RaT oN!
