Great bike, looks like you put alot of work into it. It cameout NICE!

Thanks! I'm switching to a black seat post for ease of adjustment since the powdered yellow post was just a temp because it was cut too short.

Just purchased the last part & got everything powder coated. Pics to follow. New pedals, seat, post. Finished and ready for the summer racing season.

Another excellent job Chris! Glad to know you actually ride these beauties and not just hanging them on the wall (although they are worthy of a pedestal).

Thanks Marcus. This one I race but the cruiser is just for the neighborhood rides. No dirt.

Yet another cool bumblebee!!!!!!

This 1 is getting a revamp in parts as it's my race bike. New seat, post, clamp,, tires, cranks, sprocket, rear cog, & stem. All intended to shave some weight, add to the looks & hopefully help my 'ol ars be faster.

Oops, also forgot I'm re-powder coating it to make it really nice. It's still sporting the original powder from '97. The new parts are listed in the parts list up top.
