Finaly back from paint and put together. Not to happy with the paint and for some dam reason I got the wrong size seatpost so I got a temporary one right now.

I thought about buidling with my steel lugged frame but I have had this frame since I was a kid and felt I should use it.

Lots of cool little goodies for the old school kids to apreciate

 

Cool,
how old is that bike?

I like that paint, whered u have that done?
I heard bike paint is supposed to be like, far more durable than even car paint..

 

Looks good. Old school

 

Frame is from 89 I think. Most of the parts are from 70s and 80s. Saddle and wheels are from the last few years. rear derailer is from 70 or 71.

Thanks gonna have to make one though

I hope to go back at some point and route the cables under the bar tape but it seems only one guy knows how to modify the levers and he is not around. Should give a slightly cleaner look. Other then that just need the leather bar tape to fade in the sun a bit to make it color match a bit better.

To bad it rained here all day.

You can see my good race bike and my single/fixie in the background

I built this one to ride to work and the store. Oh and to look like a pimp for the ladies
