1979 S&S Newport 26
1979 S&S Newport 26
Just Finished this Classic Beach Cruiser from The Good Ol' Days. 1979 S&S Newport Frame and Fork....Bike came to me in a pretty faded out condition. Sent the frameset to UV Metal Works here in Chicago for a fresh "SHEEN BLACK" finish. "Sheen Black" looks awesome because it's super shiny, but doesn't look too wet. To finish her up, I added an assortment of Ol' School parts with a couple of modern day pieces as well.
Parts Breakdown:
S&S FRAMESET
ARAYA 7X with BULLSEYE POLISHED HUBS and KENDA K RADS
NOS BLACK DIA COMPE MX 1000's with BLACK ANNO PRO Pads and salmon Kool Stop pads
NOS KKT RAT TRAPS
NOS TUF NECK 41 Chainring
NOS ELINA LIGHTNING BOLT SEAT
NOS FIRST GEN COOK BROTHERS STEM
PROFILE BOX CRANKS
SUPER CLEAN MONGOOSE KOS CRUISER BARS
TANGE HEADSET WITH NOS LOCK NUT
AME GRIPS
