that's a pretty cool bike, Bob. Well done.
Thanks... the best part was building it up. I've already got it on craigslist, but I doubt it will sell for what I'm asking. I figure if I can get the full amount, that would bank-roll another rebuild.
What can I say, I like to tinker.
If it doesn't sell... I'll be happy riding it anyways. ;-) Kind of a Win-Win.
Cool bike I've been thinking about building one like that for commuting on but haven't had time.
Thanks... It's a fun project too. It helps having a well stocked parts box too.
