Cool bike, under construction - cont'd...

Up-date:
Yesterday afternoon, on my way back home from work, I stopped at 'The Chopperdome' in Amsterdam... A bicycle shop with veeeeerrrryyyy cool bikes and bike stuff... You can spend a load of euro's there...!!!
Purchased the (mini) ape hanger for the bike project, on the receipt 'project 346' was their adm number... Maybe we can call this the 346 project or just project 346...

So, applied the flame stickers and then took the old handle bars off and installed the ape hanger.
Still in search of the brown saddle and grips...
(Was thinking of a small round mirror as well, when I was young I thought that was uber cool to have on your bicycle... and a little bell of course...)

Cool white pants...

These early day cruiser look very sharp in their club suites... I can't really see myself riding The Old Gall in white pants... They wouldn't last for 5 bloody seconds...

Cool hidden fources...

Whilst some furniture shopping for our living room, behind some trucks and parts of ships, we ran into these hidden Renault 4's... In total there were 8 of them hanging around, waiting for more decay to happen...

Cool catch...

Like Dave Grohl said when Foo Fighters played Pinkpop in 2011:
"Let's wait a minute..., there's a fucking rainbow out there!"

Last Friday evening, coming back from my weekly ass-kicking @ Sportskarate, I ran into these two rainbows... What else could I do but hit the brakes of my sickle and catch these beauties...?

Cool sea of bikes...

It's not Home Depot or Office Depot but it is a bike depot... City of Amsterdam tows away bikes which are parked in wrong spots... If you can find any that is... At the train stations you'll find almost the same image as the one above...
I pass this depot every day... I see the sea growing and growing and after a couple of weeks..., suddenly they're all gone... Sold or dumped...?
So if you're looking for a bike in Amsterdam, go there and buy one for almost nothing...
Jumped off my sickle, took the cam out of the inner pocket and caught this site...
