Re: North Carolina Riders
Well?...
When you compute the length of time between the "EVENT" and "THE NOSTALGIA FOR THE EVENT", the span seems to be about a year less in every cycle.
Eventually the nostalgia cycles will be so close together that people will not be able to take a step without being nostalgic for the one they just took.

Re: North Carolina Riders
I worked on the GT a little today. Not finished yet pending some parts from Mark!. The only reason I worked with it today is because I hit it with my car today in the garage!

Re: North Carolina Riders
Okay, I put a slimmer, more racey seat on the King today.
Opinions?

I like both seats, but those King Stings (and Lagunas and most other 26" cruisers) just seem to cry out for a springer Brooks saddle. There's one in particular I'm thinking of, but I don't know the model number. Whatever the case, looking good!

Yeah, those are nice.
You have to fork out some dough to get a nice one.

True enough. Of course considering the cost of original kashimax and other early 80's seats, they're right inline. That doesn't mean that spending that kind of money on a seat wouldn't make me break out in hives, however...

Re: North Carolina Riders
Finally got my blue 86 Dyno yesterday. The condition was a bit worse then described but I'm happy to have something to work on again.
I think I'll leave the finish OG on this and just try to clean & shine it up.

Nice.
The finish looks good.
I would leave it alone.

I like it Brian. I think a blue/white scheme will look good on that.

Re: North Carolina Riders
I'm not sure which direction I'm going to go with this one. I may go with black components on it. I have an extra black GT mallet, some black AME Tri's and a set of black/tanwall Odyssey Frequency G's that aren't being used.
I was planning to use Mark's blue GT seat he got on that CW for this one. Although, the guy I bought it from threw in a white Dominator with black lettering, which I've never seen before.
It also came with a set of spray-bombed GT Pro bars that will need to be refinished. I'll post up some pics of the parts when I get home.

Re: North Carolina Riders
Frank, I can forgive you missing Charlotte if you host the Raleigh after party. I won't be bringing anything new or interesting, just a few Haros.

Re: North Carolina Riders
That's the only freestyle bike I own except the Kink.
If I bring it I'll be expected to pull some awesome tricks.
I can do a few tricks but they're not that awesome.

You can just whip out that collection of old race bikes. I still haven't seen that PK of yours yet.
