A few outdoor pics this morning
I went through my headbadge collection and discovered two of these Colson Flyer Badges
I Started the Assembly and went to see my friend today who owns http://www.luxlow.com and got stocked up on a new head
set, killer pedals, grips, chains(yes it takes two go around that chain ring!), and New Triple Tree Fork which will replace the Schwinn Style Springer. I am finding that color shifting paint is really hard to photograph!

Re: The Way Out Suburbanite Top Secret Revealed
So I've been debating posting this until it was further along, but I couldn't wait its just too cool!
OK so this only after about 4 hours of work and I still need to veneer the top and mount the Tear Drop body to the frame, Fenders, and do the accent wood on the body. Lots of surprises to come on this part of my build......
This what it started as a knock off Burley I found on C-list
Frame striped down to just what I need
Built the base out of scrap wood I had from a job
Base on frame
Building the body
Body carcus built and sitting on the frame for the first time
Painted the bottom
Baltic Birch sides waiting on Walnut Trim pieces

Re: The Way Out Suburbanite Instant Airstream... 5/13
OK maybe Not Instant but definitely Peel and Stick :wink: Still a long ways from being done but the rain and snow stopped for long enough to work on this today
Found this Brushed Steel Shelf paper at Lowes..it looked better in the packaging!
Before I did the shelf paper I cut the door in the rear
Instant Airstream
Also got the Full Fenders built
