I struggled with finding a good name, originally this was going to be called "Colson Golden" but then I sold off the gold Ukai wheel set I was going to use, so I decided I was going to go with predominately copper color, so this seemed fitting.
I had some really nice shots of the base bike taken in the summer in front of the water, but I can't find them right now, so this will have to do. Hopefully putting it on a stand and taking a picture this afternoon does not count as starting early...
Plans include Nexus 3 wheel set, jockey shifter, probably a number/name plate, and some funky bars I hinted at earlier. Speaking of which, I frequently get awesome ideas in the shower, which turn out to be impossible in real life. Having said that, the bars I want to use preclude me from using this fabulous original Art Deco stem, which really bums me out.
But I think the bars will be worth it, and it has taken me in another direction for a stem, which I think will be almost as cool.
I spent a fair amount of time at the hardware store today, looking at copper fittings and some other fasteners, and got some really cool ideas and found some trick off the shelf parts I didn't know existed that will look pretty cool. Can't wait to get started tomorrow!
