Here's my latest build, used to run around satin black but got sick of that.
Chopped off the loop tubes, welded in a straight tube for a board tracker look. I cut some more rake into the frame and welded the seat post in to match the angle of the middle tube. Rides well, 26" coaster on the back and 700c on the front (road/racing forks). I might do something about the seat covering, it's comfy enough as is though.

upside down bars make it a little trickier to ride that previous but it's fine to cruise around on, very stable at slow speeds with the extra rake also.
