Yes- she is almost entirely black- with red detailing- if my stupid computer would see my D Drive I could post pictures on my website...
She is black - the head tube has some cream on it just above the black shocks. The name Schwinn and Mesa is in red or white lettering...all the components are black- ditto handlebars, stem, ahead,cranks and pedals.The grips are black with red rings on the ends.
The wheelset has red rims with black spokes and black hubs. I put these cool blood red water bottle holders on her- and there is a red THE front fender - which I might change to black.
Black saddle- I had to get a new seatpost, it'll be black as well...
I think Elvira just fits. I'm not the cool and sexy type so I think Jezebel just doesn't fit.
She would be cool as a black widow as well...
I was watching American Chopper when I started putting her togther- I was bidding on a red and black MOAB frame that I just loved.(For those OCC fans it was gonna be my "Fire bike".) Missed out on that one- but was able to pick up the Schwinn Mesa GSX for a song...so she is my second choice but-I think she is still pretty striking...
I had a lot of fun though- it took me from July to Dec to acquire all the parts for Ted. Elvira didn't take as long- because she is an 8 speed- I'll be upgrading her to a 9 speed through out the summer. Which means she may have to sacrifice her red rims- I'm not sure- I think it's just an 8 spd hub...

Whe you come to the end of all you know-
and you are about to step off into the darkness
faith is knowing one of two things will happen-
there will be something solid to stand on-
or you will be taught to fly...
