Very, very nice. It is refreshing to see a skinny tire build. I love the color and lines of this bike. You did a killer job on it. Congrats on crossing the finishing line.

This one really catches my eye!

That paint job you did is awesome and it's on a bike you don't see everyday! Great build!

I had problems with paint also, had to re-strip and start over... It takes tenacity to out pace those kind of setbacks.

Good luck, Rg

Pretty bike, looks fast, cool frame and even better paint treatment to it.

Awesome job Streetpirate! What a great clean simple look for this bike.

That is as cool as skinny tires can get man. I love the whole setup. Nothing on it except what you need for speed.

The 333 shifter with the green casings are a great touch!

That frame is awesome, combines the best aspects of a diamond with a cantilever, with the added bonus of lugs. Great color choice too!

In their early years .. :mrgreen:

did some quick research and it looks like in '74 they were called Mammoth, found out there was another band called Mammoth already, considered changing it to Rat Salad but David Lee Roth insisted on just Van Halen.

Can you imagine seeing Sabbath touring with Blue Cheer in 1970?!
