Mermaid

Sometimes you get the opportunity to know someone for a while, and can try to place that person's personality in the bike.  In this case, My neighbor Meredith is in Veterenary School in G-Ville.  I have known her family for 12 years and remember when she was in Mayport Middle School and Fletcher High.

Her birthday is coming up, and she said "Clark, I really want one of those ZenCog's. Mom and Dad said I could get one."  I asked her what she had in mind.  Meredith said "Seafoam green and classic looking, but not too bold, and bullhorn handlebars like Ashley's."  She had seen Ashley's bike in the garage.

I went to our powder coater and he had the perfect color.  The bike will be ready next week, but I felt the need to post the first picture.  I named her "Mermaid", since the color looks like the sea, and all through High School Meredith would get picked up at 5 a.m. so she could go to swim team practice.  Also her dad Bruce probably has 20 surfboards.  They are always in the sea.  So I am bringing the sea to the streets on this one.     

She is finished!
