Yeah, its been fun so far, the only problems I am having is that the front fender was missing, and the rear was not repairable. So i'm am feverishly trying to fins some fenders that would work for this project. I have thought of possibly going to one of the metal fab shops in my town and see if someone can fab me up some custom fenders. Secondly, at my own fault, i clipped the stock spokes before I measured them (just slipped my mind), didn't realize it until after i threw them away. So i need to find out what size spokes and re-lace the rims.

As for the colour scheme, I will be ordering black spokes, which should accent the red nicely, (rims are colour matched to the frame) and I already have whitewalls so it should "pop" nicely. just need to figure out what i'm going to do with the crank, crank arms, pedals, headset/stem, and handlebars. I have been considering powdercoating since I know a guy who does custom motorcycle work. So its still very much a work in progress. The next thing I think i'll be able to get finished is the seat, I already have the material and the foam ready.
