A newbie in SF Bay Area

Hey Foks,

I'm a newbie from the SF Bay Area, just completed my first MB build. I went for the vintage/boardtracker look with my build. Grubee Starfire motor, home built in frame tank, all on a '62 Schwinn Typhoon double straight bar frame.

Overall, bike came out pretty nice, has the old school look and rides great. Just about thru my first gallon of gas.

You may have to re-size your pics if they are too big.

Very nice! I really like the paintwork! I see you didn't approve of the stock roller/tensioner lol

Very clean looking ride Rich. That brass gas cap caught my eye! Did you fab the fuel tank yourself? The tank on my retro 80's Schwinn is more tapered back by the seat, but I'd still like to do somthing like that. I can't even have them on the bike now with the kit tank on the top bar. Cool speedo too! I also like the old school look with a dial and a needle. Can only find the digital ones around here. Great job, Mike
