Yes, you are. one of us will call you.

Couldn't work on the bike yesterday. I was in New London, CT for a cousin's wedding. we had a great time.

Rob!! name this church!!

It is beautiful!!

I put the chain on and the threadless stem adapter, stem and bars and my adult beverage holder. purposely tough to make out everything in this photo. got a lot going on behind the bike. Ian and I need to keep you voters in a little suspense.

I only drilled and tapped the holes for the shifter then routed the cable and set the length. I like how the skirt guards and chain guard will hide almost all the cable.

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

I like the way the cable pops out the hole. Good job. Good thing you have freakishly long arms to reach the shifter.

This shifter is high compared the location on the Airstream Bike.

Got a tiny bit done today. tank on so I can make a cardboard template.

I went upstairs for a minute and when I came down she moved over to the door. She wants to get out for a ride!!

If I get the seat post turned this week, I'll be able to go for a ride.

Love it Skip...that rear star badge is a killer touch. The black on black is just too cool and the touches of red are perfect. I am not sure I am digging the stem, but outside that, the bike is amazing! I think you're pulling ahead on this one.

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

thanks!!

The stem is all function. Need the reach (140mm) so I can ride as comfortably as possible. (I'm 6'4")

I think that stem looks cool. I like modern stems on old bikes.

I hope every one else agrees with Terry though. heh heh.

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

As of now my vote is going to Skip because he's been updating us with pics! (Hint...hint...Ian) :wink:

 

[thatismytruck]

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

He's veen holding back because he's done. We are planning a bar hop on ir about Nov. 4th even if it's hyst the two of us for photos and fun.

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

I coulda posted FINISHED pics two weeks ago, but Skip won't let me. And I took some good ones with my dad's Canon.

And I already have 10+ miles on it.

Well, I think with a vintage stem, the bike gets an 11 out of 10. With this one, it only gets a 10 out of 10! :lol: Seriously, this is one nice bike. I can't wait to see the finished pics of both bikes!

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

10 out of 10??? Bah!

Re: Nearing the End. PICS!! thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

Terry's a bit partial to Higgy's. Check his build off bike.

It also might help that I shipped a Higgins frame to him. 8)
