Hi All,
Just picked up a bronze Cranbrook for my "spring build". I'm going for a cafe racer look, kinda laid back over straight handlebars and low to the ground.
My inspiration is this bike: http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/21_....jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1327109015826
My plan is to slowly, as money comes available, add onto the build. Once I have a complete bike, I'll take all the parts off besides the rims, fork, and frame and paint it all flat/matte black. When I'm done, it should look pretty good, dark, but good.
I'll post pictures of what I have when I get home. I have a lot to do to clean up the bike such as re-grease all bearings, replace tubes, and remove all the decals. Then I'll be ready to start adding pieces one at a time.
