MY UNIVEGA PATHFINDER - FINISHED
Normally I wouldn't give a Univega a second thought, but I had this 70s model bike sitting around and liked the 2nd gusset so I decided to make a project out of it.
I decided to paint the bike myself and ended up using some Valspar Paint/Primer combo from Lowes for the frame. Surprisingly the paint went on very smooth and the finish is pretty impressive for a spray bomb. This was a low stress, low budget build so it was fun to play around with it.
I had the Preston Petty grips already so I decided to use them as the basis for the color scheme. All other parts used were ones I already had including the Motomags and tires. Just missing the coaster brake hanger and maybe some custom decals and she'll be done.

Awesome!!!!! That looks so cool. 
tastefully done.
"First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV."

That is SICK
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
