It started as a 70s viscount road bike--Viscount used an odd BB so first thing I did was cut open the BB and add a new one.Then I cut and filed off all those little tabs brazed on to road bikes for gear wire and brake cables.Next I cut out the rear bridge and brazed in a new one after fitting the fixed hub in the frame.The fork took some work ---took two forks to make one--shortened the fork legs 1" and added the bosses for V-brakes.Sanded it all bare then used black epoxy primer--dark pine green metalic top coat with a golden brown head & spir point and seat panel.Takes a lot of work to make a bike look like you did nuttin to it! Oh yea--the name was silver leafed and shadowed with blue.One of these days I just gotta build a chopper.---sam
