Floyd.....reborn!







The pink bike formaly known as "Floyd" has been given a make-over......Pace carbon fork (thanks Thad-bro), new paint (six colors ratled on), and a new BB. The HT is now 71 and the ST is 74. The whole bike weighs about 22 pounds and is built for speed with a 34/20 gearing........I named it Floyd because back when it was originaly concieved Mr Landis was kicking some ass in the TdF.

"Secret formula............"









Here is the three step process for nice shiny smooth frames.............for this one I used about six differnt colors I had left over from other jobs........the "clear effex" spray puts a sparkle that really looks cool in the sun and of course the "filler primer" takes care of those not so pretty filets that we all have from time to time.

Rattle and roll..............







Thad made over one of his bikes............it's gonna be a new trend for Smokebikes using a fade technique. Also, here is Janet's "fixie no more" all painted up and ready to head out the door.

Fixie no more...............
















Built this bike as a fixie but she didn't like the constant spin after a couple of years.............so the solution was to add a disk brake tab and a coasty wheel.
