Ok I figured everybody was having so much fun, that I would throw my build in the ring. I started off with one of those junk Western Flyer repops. I bought I several years ago and always hated it. One of those that you move to the rear of the build pile...Way back there.
I stripped all the paint and did a quick mockup with a Nexus 7 speed I had built .
I decided on a color and started with a beehive springer that was laying around
Looked pretty good so I started with the rest and decided on a two tone silver and yellow....gee the silver on the bottom had been done...wondered where I got that idea.
I had those green lobdells that never looked very good on previous builds so I thought hey here is a chance to use them. Maybe a dark red on the tank
It was really colorful....but not right so maybe all green...
Ya gotta have a light
I finally went with a dark charcoal and some mini apes for bars. Needed a cool seatpost that would stay within the confines of the build rules so I came up with an extra bar to add a little something diferant to it.
It was suppose to be a hot rod bike ...so I stuck some boardtrack bars on it....seem to be really popular right now.
It had a cheap sticker headbadge that didnt make the paint removal so I built my own
Any way there are so many nice builds that I couldnt resist joining in the fun...Hope ya like this one.
