Re: 1981 Murray X24

Thanks for the compliment guys.  I'm 6'2, so the frame geometry is great, plus the frame is stout:)

Don't hesitate building it any longer.  They are fun bikes, even though they aren't a high end bike. Any Graphics shop should be able to hook you up with whatever you want for Graphics.  I designed what I wanted and had them make them for me.

I bead blasted the frame first, then had it powder coated.  No issues at all.  Turned out sweet.
