I have been away for quite some time on my bike project. Going through C, plus the associated treatment and add in pneumonia at the same time, argh. Its good to be getting back in action.
My bike is stripped and at the sandblaster. Then using a different powdercoater for the PC. My bike may be back together in a months time... we'll see. It will be just as pictured already basically.
I am not concerned with patina, or using solely old Schwinn or early bmx parts. I will have a restomod 1957 Schwinn Corvette.
Just like a restomod muscle car, quite possibly better than new. Maybe, or maybe not more valuable than the original. Doesn't matter.
My bikes are keepers anyway, and I have three adult boys (oxymoron??? lol) in which we have a choice of bikes to ride (including touring on bicycles this year - and never forget ADV motorcycle travel).
I hope to post up my Vette soon. I am also building a modernistic True Torch 3 bar, which will have some pizzaz as JTT bikes do.
Fun bicycle year 2021 will be.
