Your bike is an inspiration to us all.
(I'm going to start a paper route right now.)

I had a old crusty Chinese low rider fender in the garage for many years and was going to toss it out when I got an idea for a easy to make Delta light display. Gonna give it it to my buddy so he can display a X1 delta I made for him in his office.

 

[BrownieICT]

That is an awesome idea!

Your bicycle is coming along nicely, I just love it! One of the most iconic and coolest of all time. Great work in progress!

I thought you guys would enjoy seeing this, I went to a friend's house and saw her dad's enormous collection of toys from the 50s-70s, and at the very end of the room was this absolutely gorgeous Krate from the late 60s, according to him, and he also showed me the V-rroom accessory.

Nice '69 Apple Krate, gotta love em.

Funny thing was that everything is original except for the paint. He told me about how he was initially disappointed at first but the guy begged him to just look at it and once he did he was completely amazed with how great it looked.

Nice! I really like krates and early stingray stuff, anybody else here collect stingray stuff?

Who was riding their bike in Oakland yesterday! Saw it parked outside of Ike's sandwich shop. I go really excited I thought I was the only one in the Bay area with an X1!

My brother and I use to in the 90's, not so much these days, don't have the room to collect EVERYTHING, I like, Ha, Ha

Considering the ridiculous rarity of the mudflaps, what's a good looking close enough/similar looking flap? And would most of the vintage flaps on ebay probably be too brittle for use?

 

[Ruddigger]

Stingrays are way cool. I wouldnt mind adding one to my collection. Gotta get a bigger house first though, lol.

Wanted to be able to take the saddlebags off easily this bracket allows that to happen. Not screen accurate but definitely more solid

.

 

[Ruddigger]

Interesting saddlebag mounting. Is that your bike?

 

[kevjh]

The start of it. Going in for paint next week. It's been a group project I've been working on it along with the bike shop in our town and of course the form and members helping with parts!!! It's been a lot of fun

 

[Ruddigger]

You're the only person I've seen that started with the saddlebags.

Do you not like the look of the sling rings around the taillight lenses?

Anyway, good to have another builder in here. Keep us posted.

 

[kevjh]

The saddlebags are what I was worried about the most. I wanted something that was stable and would be easily disassembled for repair etc. I never realized how many parts it took to get a bike put together. I'll post more pictures a little further along.
