Toad

Here's a few pics of my recent acquisition (unless my wife asks, in which case I'm sittin' on it for a friend). Same deal as all of my builds in so much as I'm using whatever I have in the parts bin. Not top drawer but decent and period. Feel free to critique.

Merry Christmas to all and here's hoping everybody gets the bike bling they're after.

i assume that's the one that was for sale in canada just recently? if it is i like what you've done with it, the colour is great.

Thanks, yes it was the one on CL the other day. yeah, 80's colour for sure.

i love the toad logo, it's so basic but so good

potential dumb question, i can't decide whether it's super bright orange or whether it has a hint of pink in it, or is it just my computer screen?

Wonderful bike. How does it ride?

Selfish request, would you have any close ups of the fork dropouts?

 

[vintageman]

Colour is same as Gibbs fishing lures. (not nearly as sexy now, huh). no pink just lots of bright/almost fluorescent orange.

Looking soooo much better now! I love that fork as well!

I'll snap some pics of the dropouts over the holidays. haven't had a chance yet to take if for a burn. keep u posted tho.

 

[walleater]

Certainly a big improvement!
