I've got "the bug" again

[vincev]

Glad you have the bug again. Off to a good start.Dont lose the bug !!

Looks great! I've been bitten by that bug a few times myself.

Great looking bike! I really love the patina and the raw finish on the frame that shows off the brazing. Good work!

This is where it's at now. Repop grips, John's tires and a seat from bobscycles. Patiently waiting for a holey chain guard, any condition, for around $50. Yeah, right! Or something else that has the "right" look.

Looks totally killer!

Chainring looks so right on this build.

Chainring looks so right on this build.

I know it's not CWC. But the "coffin" chainring adds to the MEAN look of the frame and flying V. IMO

 

[Boris]

That's exactly what I meant. I've always been partial to this is the kind of "mean" looking bike. It's the kind you can get away with murder on. Especially if it's subtle murder like this chainring. If it feels right to you, it's right. If someone else really likes it, that's the icing on the cake.

Glad to see you're enjoying the hobby once more! I think you've done a fantastic job putting this bike together! I'm all for fully-built bikes, with tanks and fenders and what-have-you, but bikes like these really show that sometimes, less really is more. The lack of parts and paint just give it a gritty appearance that really lends itself to the bike.

Sweet build!
