I decided to replicate my dream bike

[codydaniels]

Any decals going on this?

Yes, I have a set of reproduction decals for it

I put the replica decals on tonite. I think it adds a lot to the look of the frame. It sure looks black when it's not in the sunlight.

Looks good

What a great project and interesting read

 

[codydaniels]

I had a day off today so I put it together and rode it around the block a couple times to get everything adjusted. Feels good so far.

How do you all like it?

Some more pictures and some of what I started with.

 

[Nob]

Excellent looking machine now it’s all finished

Nice job on the forks

I’d be tempted to go with full chrome then used a colored lacquer which will really make it standout….

One thing that has always put me off this is, unless it's purely a wall hanger, the lacquer starts to peel in places and then looks crap

That's been a super project.
I'm with nob on having a rear disk wheel, but then it might not be good for regular riding
What saddle did you finish with, can't see it on this phone?

That colour pops!
