The bike looks awesome Scott !! the pink Shotgun II is way cool !! great choices in parts, it does have a kinda 1980s Glam Rock look to it lol...

I just sent my sons Street Beat off to Chip, and of course it will be sportin your decals, his bike should be done in a couple of weeks.

Cool Skyway!
I love the color scheme. I've been trying to finish
a Performer in the same.
What did you use as a reference for the blue?
Love the double CDs.
Oh, do you know the brand of cranks, they look sharp.

RIDE A BIKE
A true Classic Build!! Love the color combo.My wife likes the bike, she want's a Street beat like that Now to ride around !You should have had that bike in the street beat comp!!
Bike Crazy.
Excellant build. You can get the plastic ties in pink or almost pink, or just abit of fingernail polish. Nice attention to detail with vavle stems up.

Scott, that rocks! I'm lovin the color scheme!

.... If that bike were an 80's rock band, it would be Enuf Z'nuff.

Thanks for all the compliments!
In response to some comments......
A clear bong to prop it up???? LOL You're right, it was really hard to get the bong water stains out to get it that clear.
It's actually a 10X3" piece of 1/8" thick plexiglass with a notch to hold at the rear axle.
The tires....yes they are dirty (I ride all my bikes) and yes they came from from Brian P's ginormous tire stash.....Thanks bro!
The cranks are new school Poverty's from Dan's Comp. I use them on all my custom builds, but not on restored bikes. Only $10 too, can't beat that. They come with a large logo on the right arm, but it comes off easily with lacquer thinner.

Thanks again y'all!!!
