More progress has been made. We're almost finished with three bikes.
The blue one is for sale. The lugs and fender details on the blue bike are so cool, we decided to highlight them with orange. I think that bike is awesome. It originally had a frame pump, which we went back to. And it also had a leather bag hanging behind the saddle. My mom sewed a killer bag out of coffee sack jute that will hang back there. We obviously need to cover the saddle in leather and this bike will be ready to roll.
The brown one is for Vintage 1740. It turned out really good. The brown is metallic. The cream object on the front fender is an electric horn. The chrome polished up really nicely. We have yet to re-cover the saddle and put grips on the bars. We
're also making a wine bottle holder to go on the side of the rear rack. Should be pretty sweet.
The red one is for David Lawrence. We went back to metallic red (similar to the original). Kept the Typhoon graphic, but switched out Schwinn for Native. Much better. This bike just needs a bit of touch-up on the saddle paint. One of the cool things about the bike is that it has a two-speed kick-back rear hub. So while you're going you can kick the pedals back like you're going to use the coaster brake and it will shift into overdrive. Pretty sweet.
