My first build. Thoughts appreciated

Here is my first build at a bike that I wanted to be different than what everyone else has around me. Input greatly appreciated.

Very nice bike.

Looks great! I've been working on mine for a couple of years, finding parts etc. but it's almost done.
Personally I think if you are willing to spend around $100 a brooks leather saddle would look cool, but it's your bike
Anyways,

Happy riding

You are absolutely right I would give my eye teeth for a nice vintage looking brooks saddle I think Its time to save for one.
Thanks so much

That's a nice looking ride you made yourself. Very very cool. Don't be afraid to share some more close up pictures. The wife just told me to stop drooling so it must be a cool bike.

Thats funny!!! but staring at stuff i where I get my best ideas from. My son told me once why are u just sitting there staring at your bike? I told him not sure what i want to do next and then ideas start popping in my head.

Great job!
Is that a legitimate NY plate?

 

[chrisallen]

Thank You. No that came in a 1953 wheaties cereal box. I am thinking about removing it because I think thats the one thing that will definitely get me pulled over.....lol

I have the Ontario version of that license plate. I just took mine off. I figured with my luck and cops I'd get an improper use of plate charge or some type of counterfeit charge. If and when I get pulled over.

Exactly......who needs to deal with all that crap.

Might as well mount a brick on the seat post and save money. Your ass will never forgive you either way.
