That's because I've got an EXTREMELY cool wheel and tire on it :lol: Oh yeah, and the chainguard isn't on...I kinda like it but my sister already did some lettering on it (work in progress) :P

Now, it's on!
That flame tread tire is PERFECT for this build.
And you say there's more to come? Wooo! Hooo!

Get 'er done!

It's not a slick, but that sure is slick.

Postby Critter1 on Sat Jul 09, 2011 7:05 am

The Young American is looking perfect! Is it just me, or does the seat seem to want to sit towards the rear a little more? Maybe flip the seat post clamp under the seat? That'd set it back about an inch..

Again, thats just my opinion. This bike will be in the top of the heap after Aug 1st for sure!

Need to take into consideration the height of the builder, especially with the drag bars.
