Bike Pictures

Here are some pictures of my bike as well as another bike I was working on at Kraynick's today.

First, My bike. Isn't she sexy? She is a custom bike with Cannondale aluminum frame and steel fork and crankset from an old Raleigh Technium. The paint has been stripped from the frame and fork. The fork has been spraypainted with black gloss automotive enamel and the frame was sanded and polished.

Entire bike shot.
Close up of the saddle, rear brake, rear tire, seat tube and seat stay.
Close up of the handlebars and top tube.
 Close up of the crankset, rear wheel, derailleurs, and down tube.
Next, the Chrome stainless steel Diamondback that I cleaned up today.

Entire bike shot.
Both bikes together.
I think both of these bikes are beautiful, but I am biased toward the one on the right because I built it. Personally, I never thought aluminum can be as shiny chrome stainless steel. Can you tell the difference?

    Your bike looks great!! I may have to have you build one for me too. My old Trek could use a new friend.
