Did it work?
Here's 2 bikes I did 2 years ago for my wife and I.There semi-flat black frames ,her's with blue lacquer tin with Tremclad clear on top, mine has just red enamel.(much easier).
They are heavily pinstriped with lot's of polished stainless acorn nuts and button-head machine screws.Ialso used Electra and Nirve seats etc.
The tires are duro and the wheels have anodized aluminum acorn wheel nuts and homemade dice valvecaps.
We take them on 10 to 15 mile rides and are very smooth and with the gears the hills are not a problem
