Prefab

This time around I am going to assemble the bike before I get the frame paint to avoid any last minute surprises.

Engine, swingarm and rear shocks assembled.

Seat pan and tank mounted. 

Tank is 1970 CR model, NOS but unpainted. Love the look of this tank, the 1970 model is the only one with filler to the right and the high profile. 1971 got the gas cap in the center, and 1969 tank has a lower and wider profile. Rumor has it that it was Bengt Åberg who criticized the tank with the filler to the right because it happened that he accidentally opened it with his right knee during a race.

Nex mixtape for garage nights (mixed by my brother).

Fremdtunes invited Swedish DJ Devastate (BBE Records) to do a mix for Wax Poetics and to celebrate the release OptiMace’s “The Future Is Not What It Used to Be – Part 1,” a brand new 7-inch out on November 24 2011 with remixes by Big Mister Doom, KRSUR, and Illy Symphony.

Mellow Madness, Vol. 2 is a mix full of laid back music inspired by the Fremdtunes sound. The mix is compiled and mixed by DJ Devastate. Devastate is a producer/DJ from South Sweden. His jazzy instrumental debut album Movement/Silence was released on BBE recordings early 2010. Devastate also released a track on label sampler Fremdtunes – The Series 2 and is currently working on a brand new instrumental solo album and a production album with his crew Elite Fleet.

Zinkplating

Spokes, bolts, nuts and miscellaneous stuff back from zinkplating. Once you get used to rebuilding bikes with replated bits you can't go back. Its cheap and the finish is like new.
