I finally have the main components of the bike frame painted and reassembled.
I've switched the overall theme of the bike from "G ride" to "total badass". So with that in mind, I went for a deep gray for the frame, lowered the seat, and flipped the handlebars; it gives it a pretty nice cafe racer feel. The only things left to take care of as far as painting is concerned are the hubs and the wheels. I found that the whitewall on the tires needed much more than just a little cleaning, so I decided to repaint them. Some quick painters tape reinforced with duct tape and I was ready to go.
And to accent the white, I figured bright red hubs would look pretty solid.
I'm hoping that I should have the bike fully reassembled tonight or tomorrow. I'll be ordering the motor tonight, and will hopefully that this guy ready to ride next weekend!
