Fell off my 26X
The first time I laid eyes on it over a year ago it looked like this! It was sold and looked like this...
Bike was sold at Copak. lost track of the bike for a year, and when it surfaced...
It looked like this...
Obviously it was pillaged for the tank.
This one came up and it was a hunt! Shawn was also hunting this one, when I learned that he was looking for the same bike I gave up cause he was alot closer! But looking at the picture closely... boom, there was the Shelby arrow hiding behind it! With some help from Shawn (he purchased the one in front) he put me in contact with the owner! Which was great but I'm waaaaay to far away. Luckily for me, good friends helped me out!! The bike was on it'sway to Ann Arbor to be sold, so I had to move quickly. I asked Scott if he'd pick up the bike for me and he said YES! Now for the next part...
The tank!!!
In talks with about 5 people this tank had been floating around the shows with no buyer!?! Same guy who had the bike had this tank...lucky me no one else wanted it, why you might ask... it was a 1 off custom wood tank made 25 + years ago! I'm in!!! I can make this work and bring the bike somewhat back!!
The tank was show quality painted and to pretty and the wrong color.
So.... I did this to it!!!
I'll mount the tank tomorrow, super excited!!
