this is your best build yet. I'd like to see how it looks with a modern saddle and maybe some blingier wheels.

Love the bike...and the car! Looks like a customized '52 Mercury. Do the colors match between the bike and the car?

This car is frequently parked on the street in Bedstuy along my training route, so I see it all the time. After I acquired this MKE, I knew I had to snap a picture. The shade are not quite an exact match (the MKE is a tad darker) but I do love the '50s seafoam color, regardless!

Predictably the sizing is weird... executing a preliminary build to see if it's going out the revolving door LOL
