How about a MIXTE frame for disc brakes, left bank bars, sweet steel pedals with half toe clips, a temple bell, fenders, and here's something: one roll of leather tape is plenty to wrap the grips on left bank bars and it's stunning with the honey colored VO saddle. As for frame color, I live in "Oaksterdam" so it has to be shiny black for all my coffee shopping.

Why are the brake levers so tilted up?<br /><br />Also is it just due to the kickstand or is the saddle a little bit 'nose up'?Brobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309527578365229755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-39261600324349568052011-08-27T10:29:23.144-04:002011-08-27T10:29:23.144-04:00I love how these bicycles are looking, all three o...I love how these bicycles are looking, all three of the builds. Would love to try one - consider sending some frames to Harris Cyclery to build up as floor models; I am sure they will be snapped up!

Wrap the bars, slide the tubing into place, then shrink away. Works great as long as you like black. I haven't found the big heat shrink tubing in any colors.dwainedibblyhttp://dwainedibblyatgmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-37618091699831005242011-08-25T16:41:22.741-04:002011-08-25T16:41:22.741-04:00I realize this is just a demo, but I'm 100% ce...I realize this is just a demo, but I'm 100% certain you guys/gals could come up with something better to finish off that leather than electrical tape.
