BikeEXIF has just released it's Top 10 list of most popular bikes over the past six months, and Project CX has gotten 3rd place! What a wonderful addition to an already fulfilling Christmas morning.
I've been overwhelmed with the amount of positive feedback the bike has recieved. Thank you to everyone out there for your praise and support.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Congrats! I started following your build a while ago because of your eye for design and I knew this bike would command a lot of attention!
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge honor. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, very well deserved :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you did a great job. And now you are a source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteDid your bike come stock with those handlebars?
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the handlebars themselves - no, they're referred to as "clubman" bars.
ReplyDeleteIf you're referring to the sweet Clip Art santa hat bars... yes.
Great job on your bike! Exactly which clubman handlebars did you use? There's quite a few different bends. I'm thinking about your style for my build.

ReplyDeleteThis bike is awesome! Specially that's your first bike! Like the coloring.
ReplyDeleteDavid, do you maybe know if there are some differences in the frame between '81 CX 500 (standard) and CX500 C? Or it's the same and just "equipment" is different.
Thanks Marginalny,
DeleteHere's a thread on the difference between the 2 models:

Continuing to appreciate this bike, but have a couple of questions if you could help out: it said before you lowered the front AND back by 1". How did you lower the back end?? With stiffer shocks how's the ride when two-up?
ReplyDeleteCheers!
The rear shocks are about an 1" shorter eye-to-eye.
DeleteI was thinking about that but was advised it might bottom out when riding with someone on the back... issues?
DeleteThe shocks I have on there now are very stiff and have about an inch of adjustable pre-load. The seat modification also cut down my clearance by about an inch and I still never bottom out even with a passenger.
DeleteThat being said. Those shocks are uncomfortably stiff. I'm sure there's a happy medium.
