More Tingler!

Here's a couple more shots from the mock-up day when our buddy Matt, of Rush Cycles, brought over the freshened up ironhead motor he generously helped us out with.  The frame, tins, and oil tank are out for paint from Toon Town Bob as we speak.  This one's gonna be tough to give away!  Scroll down a couple posts to check out some more in-depth progress photos from Cal.  Definitely can't thank Cal, Joe, and Benny of Retrofit enough for their phenomenal fab work and help / inspiration with the show.  Once again, Visionary Cycle Products donated the gorgeous 21" aluminum front wheel, Buchanan helped out with some quality stainless spokes, and our go-to local shop guy, Ed at Unique Cycle, generously threw a 21" Speedmaster, tube, strap, and rear brake shoes our way to top it off!  This is not one to be missed!

 

Willis has been doing it right and ripping the Cocaine Bandit around like crazy, ever since he won it at Strange Days 2; right on!!!

Pipe fitment.

Joe's Pan, "Mary Jane."  Chopperfection.

Ken and Cal's trusty steeds.

Stay tuned, paint is on the way!

The Stance...

...of "The Cocaine Bandit," she could be yours...

This Weekend

After dealing with a flooded basement / garage, and rescuing boxes of rare chopper parts out of the wet abyss (a fuckin nightmare by the way!), I managed to spend some much needed quality time with Frank.

I got pretty much all of the painting done on this bad boy.  I can't say I'm totally ecstatic with the results, but this bike is a rider and this style will do just fine for now.  The flowers around the marker holes are my favorite part.  The other designs were kind of a wing-it deal, but overall it's lookin funky!

Hopefully this week I can mount her up and wire in the tail light!  This spring is gonna be exciting.

This beer is delcious.
