VARSITY



Remember this...[FROM 1972]? Well yeah, that post is from 2008 (and Ms. Joplin is in one of the shots) and I still haven't built it, but there has been some resurrected progress thanks to Mr. J who has ordered me the correct crank converter and fashioned me some fire engine red handlebars...

Hopefully she'll be up and running by Spring, though she'll be a beast of a bastard weighing in at 903 lbs.

A photo of Joplin would be nice.

Especially if you didn't point out she is dead.

are you still going to take the Neapolitan Ice Cream color scheme suggestion? It'd be a nice way to make that frame look unique since so many people have it.

Yellow, red and brown. The straight bars are fire engine red and I'll finish 'em off with shellacked brown cloth tape on the ends with twine. Honey brown saddle and brown deep v in the back.

...oh and a red chain and brown feets straps.
