Well, here it is, my 1982 project. Bought it August 4th, tore it apart in one night, hardtailed it, and put it back together. Rode it to work today for the first time. Still have a lot of cosmetic work to be done but for now, with the little time left before the snow falls, I'll tweak out the glitches and put together some ideas on how to finish it. Now I know what the "craze" is all about, I'm definitely addicted. So keep building guys and gals, and please share!!!

| Thanks, yes its a TC, also used their forward controls, elect/batt box. They do great work. What kind of paint would go good with that tan seat?

How about an ivory primary/red accent graphic, or ivory primary/seafom green graphic? My first choice would be the former. Rich and crisp.

Looks GREAT !!! I see your seat springs are straight up vertical.So many I se lean back.Did you move the cross brace,weld on your own mounts,slide the seat forward or what?
PS:I envy you doing this in one night.

Agreed with TeeCat. Ivory with maroon/ dark red scallops.... and black pinstriping. Are you going to run a rear fender? I also hardtailed my bike with a tc bros unit, and I mounted my seat sort of high. I moved the seat cross-member about an inch forward. I like the look of fenderless bikes, and I'm not shure if I will like it with out a fender. this is my bike.

Sorry for the long delay, been out riding a lot before the snow.
The seat is from Demon Cycles, I believe it was around a hundred bucks, very comfortable too...

| Do you know if it is a Larosa? Any chance you know the size (13x9, 15x13, etc). Thanks!
