Not shocked. Those are just eye-boggling bikes. When you put them all together it is almost too much to look at all at once.

You build very nice bikes.

Thanks buddy! All three have working new departure triplspeed hubs. Out of 1500 bikes at the bike show they were the only 3 bikes with ND triplspeed. There were a lot with SA 3i and shimano 3i but seem to think that they are all the same. Most have never seen or knew that the ND triplspeed conversion unit existed. I don't blame them since they are so rare.

This decal came with the unit so you can put it on the rear fender

I made a few a while back. Will have to check if I still have any!

had this old shirt laying around and decided i needed something to ride tomorrow

my friends and me are not part of any bike club yet we like to visit every club whenever we can so people started to call us the independents. thats what the words "los independientes" means. and since we normally hang out in the town called mayaguez i decide to use the indian head. every town has something that is known for, mayaguez is known for the taino indians. basebal team, basketball team and every other sport team from mayaguez are known as "los tainos"

i sure did. i might need a longer seat tube since my legs are not straight when pedal is down. kind of painful!

Got the tail light. Let's see if I can make the hard decision to drill out freshly painted fenders to install it. What you think?

Its a little too Buck Rogers to me.......Can you make a clamp-on mount that wont mess anything up?

just cover the fender with blue masking tape mark your hole on the tape and drill it wont leave a mark even from the hot drill chips you will be good to go

I know what you mean! Ive never been big on drilling or modding original parts, even in the 'chopper days' of the late sixties; something already modded I didnt mind too much. Bike looks wonderful as is, to me!

I've been riding it but have not done anything new. Still deciding if I should do a decal for the chain guard.
