I like the Champagne one, could look real classy w/a unpainted engine

O'course there's always the rattlecan solution...

I was gonna build one of those Nel Lusso, but they guy changed his mind. I thought it would be a really cool motorized bike.

I like the black & Green cranbrook.

Choose by the frame color because the fenders will fall off anyway.

I'm partial to the Champagne because it's what I have but I'll probably repaint the frame in steel gray this winter because I haven't found any paint that matches the original for touch-ups.

Get the one that you like the most. Kev is right..the fenders are crap and bend real easy...death trap if you ask me. I like them all..I believe there is a shwinn at walmart for 120..I could be mistaken though..

Good luck..

I like the black and green for whatever it's worth.

Thanks for the replys....I know the fenders are junk,thats why I am wanting oppinions on the frames themselves....I will take the fenders off first thing and buy a double hanger set from my local bike shop for 35 dollors a set....I have a set of thick chrome double hangers I bought from him over 3 years ago and they are solid as a rock and holding up strong....

If I am only using the bike for everyday use and not a show piece I try to use the color that is easiest to touch up(BLACK).

I have the Champagne Cranbrook and I really like the way it came together, but I love the warm look of that mahogany Nel Lusso.

Call me crazy but I wont put a front brake on it....I have a moondog im riding now and I switched to a heavyduty rear coaster brake and still have the brakes on them but only use the coaster....If it has a hole to mount a front brake on it I might buy one from my local bike shop....
Im leaning toward the champange a little bit,but someone mentioned the black for easy touch ups with scratches and such.....
Thanks again for the help in picking...Keep the votes coming....
