Wow that is pretty!

Wow... I already though it looked amazing but that is exponentially better that it was in your Feb 18 post. Fine work.

I like, I like....I like that chainguard

So I finished the frame tonight and will start this week putting the bike back together and hope to do a check ride by the end of the week unless life gets in the way! V/r Shawn

Looks great but you didn't tell us what products you used to get it like that. Did you just use wet/dry sandpaper or some product like Never Dull? Did you use any wax after sanding it? Just curious. Did I mention I like that chain guard?

Hey Sped see post #33. Mothers mag polish and Johnsons paste wax as a sealer. You can give up on the guard--the only way anyone gets that is if I ever cut loose of the whole bike. Trust me it would be much cheaper for you to send yours out and have it re-chromed! V/r Shawn

Ok its starting to look like a bike! I still need to service one pedal, service the chain, true the wheels, and finish restoring the headlight. I'm also still missing the acorn nut for the springer. Until I can find the proper one I'm gonna hit some hardware stores this weekend just to find something so I can ride it. V/r Shawn

VERY NICE Shawn, one of my favorite bikes. About 12 years ago I saw one of these at Copake, super polished with a Monark Twin motor and chromed tank on it. Price was $5500.00. ( I had the cash on me) Don't know if that was too much money back then but I have been kicking myself in the balls ever since. Can't wait to see yours finished.

That may be the most luminescent bicycle I've ever seen! Well done Shawn!

Can't wait to see it with tires on the ground.
