What was that bottle thing below the grenade
Looks like a vintage oil can to me.
The Chanel line is really funny!

Last day of the show, and came across this beauty! Still going to keep the glitter seat, but this is going to look mean on a future build 
Unfortunately, it tapers in the opposite direction of the cross bars. If I was able to modify it a bit, I could possibly blend it with the rear fender.
That's an oil can with a screw on cap for the tip. I have another, but it is missing the cover. I'll post a pic of it disassembled.
The sentiment is to edit your look by paring down, but it is also a hilarious mental picture
Ok, I need some input. I have orange pedals to compliment my grips, but the grips are really the only necessary tie in for the orange manacles on My Pet Monster. Because I have a lot of metallics, I am debating changing the pedals to better compliment the frame itself. Thoughts? (examples below)
Side-by-side for a better visual.
Those purple Wellgo's are 
but you do need a splash of green in there somewhere

Partial to purple.
Yessir! Was vacillating between purple and green myself. The chainguard is going to have green (as do the dropouts), so the purple might be the ticket!Those purple Wellgo's are
Looks like we're leaning that way
Was the seat post and/or seat clamp going to be green? The build is looking fun and funky.......Yessir! Was vacillating between purple and green myself. The chainguard is going to have green (as do the dropouts), so the purple might be the ticket!

The way your whole design fades from blue to violet through to the tires is tight! I'm digging it. I think that bright orange in that amount is going to overwhelm your pallet and detract from what you got going on. I would personally go with smaller hints of orange and possibly darker.. like the sticker on the head tube. Your piece reminds me of my friend Greg's work, a classic horizontal rainbow fade with bits of different hues..
Ok, I am both enraged and elated right now My dear friend and bike building buddy since highschool, David, just gave me a parts hack that I could have used 10x over the past few years.
Apparently, if you cut an old crank arm in half, you've got a lucky 7 seatpost. The threading will fit the larger diameter tubing as well. I'm about to try this with a Goodwill donar crank.
