Them together with a Barnett primary drive and clutch. Then Bob "Munn" Monroe was called in to massage the sheetmetal, build the custom trim, and even fabricate the trim pieces that fit between the downtubes of the frame. And once all of the welding, grinding, and general fabrication was finished, much of the bike was boxed up and taken over to High Luster Plating and Polishing in Hayward, California. Even more of the bike was delivered to Carl Brouhard, where it was treated to a fresh coat of candy apple red and pearl white and a tough coat of clear to protect it all.
Dante collected all of the parts when they were finished and proceeded to assemble everything into a bike that is very close to his original concept of what the finished product would look like. Now, whether he can hang onto this one for longer than three weeks so that he can actually put some miles on it and enjoy it remains to be seen. But whether he sells it or keeps it, we're pretty sure this won't be the last you hear of Dante when it comes to building custom bikes.
