Project CrissCross

Project "CrissCross" restoration has officially begun. As you may know I purchased an 80's model Schwinn CrissCross from Norris bicycles for a measly $60. Sunday night the transformation has begun. I started sandblasting the original paint, "Purple Rain", it had to go. I've never been a fan of the color, movie or of the artist formally known as Prince for that matter. I was a fan of the gloved one even if he's a fan of kids. Back to our original topic the sandblasting is going a little bit slower than expected but I should finish it up Sat. I have a few ideas as to how I want it to turn out. I hope to build it up as commuter with drop bars and gears. I would have set it up as an SS but I would have to run one of those crappy chain tensioners. Colors I thinking about: Creme, Alvacado green, flat Olive green, "old school VW" light blue, or flat black. Help me out here with this decision. I like them all but just can't make up my mind. I'm not sure if I can even get these colors but maybe I'll narrow the list down when I take a look at the color swatch list Dave has.

Jackson was dancing around this morning and I asked him what was up he said he wanted his picture taken.

Tattoo update: I spoke to Tom over at 2 Ton Tat 2 and he said my artwork should be ready for approval on Thurs so I'll be heading over there to check it out and hopefully set up an appoinment to get some new ink! Ye Haw!
