Re: First Vintage Race Inspired Smoker
Alright, while im rebuilding wheels and the frame is out to powder, lets touch on paint scheme. What do you all like the best. Im going blue, likely a powder blue (that was on my 100) as my main color.

Blue.... and make it look like a Suzuki or Honda. I am speechless...... OK , so that's clearly not totally true.
Any of those would work. What about the good old bumble bee colors or European Yamaha GP colors of white with a red stripe like this one
or maybe a 78 color scheme
it's more fussy but looks sharp and old / I mean classic/classy.
This would be a pain to paint, but could look good.
I like blue but somehow it seems to lack the excitement of red.

That 78 is pretty sweet.

I do like that 78, Ive kinda moved away from the Kenny Roberts look and more toward the vintage privateer look which is what I wanted to begin with. Im not sure you will get me off of blue though. Here is the 100 that I built, and I loved the color, so I want to incorporate it.

Update, After putting on the new tires I have one popped tube and one bare rim. Fuck that

So I for $13 a wheel I had someone else do it during lunch today. Should have just done that from the beginning. Tonight I'll get the new bearings in, do a final clean and wait for the frame to get back.

Re: First Vintage Race Inspired Smoker
I like to consider myself fairly die hard DIY. I hand mount my road car tires, I do all my own mechanic work, rarely is there a job too annoying or too dirty. The one thing I will not do is mount tubed motorcycle tire. There aren't quite enough swear words in the dictionary to relieve the stress caused by trying to do them myself.

I'm with ya. I think it was the fourth pinched tube when I said fuck it and took it to a shop. I haven't tried myself since.

Ha, I have done the GL tires 4 times so 8 tires/tubes since I bought it and never pinched a tube until this time, I am actually thinking the tube was too old, I used it for 2 seasons and 2 previous tires. But yes I know they are the devil to do without pinching. I'm 2 for about 16 changes with tubes. so I'll keep doing them until the ratio goes the other way LOL.
