Moon Rocket 88

Great looking ride.
How tall are those monark head tubes?
They look taller than others’.
Are they 5-1/4” like the CWC?

Off the top of my head, I think they are 5", but will have to measure again to be sure.

I got the boring stuff done. Nexus 7 speed & roller brake cables installed and adjusted.

Looks great.
I’m in the process of putting a nexus inter3 hub/wheel on my Hiawatha.
I can’t pedal the single speed bikes as well as I used to so I’m hoping that I’ll get more use out of the bike with a range of gears to work with/choose from.
Your bike is going to be a head turner.
Do you have it in any competitions or build offs?

No, just doing for myself and for fun!

I picked up this chain guard from a good friend a few days ago. Once the poor repaint was stripped off, I primed, and painted it Moon yellow, then a black stripe was added.

Keeping with the Moon Rocket 88 theme up next is the decal/graphic planning. I usually like to print out my various ideas on regular printer paper, cut them out and lay them in place to see how the different size and layout ideas look, and which I like or don't before making and applying the actual waterslide decals. Here are a few ideas, which do you like?

Nice custom Mooneyes, Marty. Fourth pic is my choice.
Looking forward to see how this one finishes up!

Actually like best the look from post #9 in this thread, your original look. Sometimes less is more. Very cool project, good luck.
