I love this very distinctive paint job. Well done. I like any good paint job that draws your eye to the object, bicycle in this case. Well done.

I loved the overall look and build quality. Your video answered my nagging question on whether no downtube would cause front wheel waggle while pedaling. I guess not. Love the looky lou holes especially the bottom bracket. It is so hard to tell when those pesky hidden bottom bracket bearings...

I finally realized how naked I feel now that I know that a bicycle mounted flagpole is a thing. Great work and I love the flagpole idea.

Really nice classy looking build. Good work on this build. Glad it fits too, very important. Keep up the good work.

Having ridden plenty of one speed clunkers I can attest that rarely if ever are one piece chain rings and coaster brake rear sprockets able to turn a full revolution without having the chain tighten and loosen due to very small out of round issues. Your sprocket does wobble side to side a...

Congratulations on your daughter. Children are a blessing.

You are doing a great job on this bike. I'm 6'5" and it is hard to find nice tall bike frames. I go for 64cm to 68cm in my bikes and I love the older style big steel framed bikes because they fit me so well. Looking forward to the built pictures.

I have crossed a mountain stream in just this manner. This is an example of great form. However I flipped over the front handlebar and for some reason I always tuck and roll under these circumstances. I landed in the stream on my back on a big flat water covered rock and did not sustain any...

BDC I join you at 6'5" but have been riding mostly on my recumbent lately. This is an early Ryan Vanguard XL. This bike was built for big and tall. A very comfortable bike on a rainy day in Sacramento California. This location is a City of Sacramento pump station alongside a bike trail and a...

Love the imagination of all your work so far. This bike is turning out so very cool.

The original thinking and craftsmanship this bike represents is top level. Your upscale is seamless until you put it up against an original and realize how much bigger it is. I applaud your effort. Loved this.

In my late 20's racing in Northern California mountains I ran a fairly low single speed gear. Front would be 28 teeth and rear would vary from 18 to 24 teeth. My philosophy was try to pedal most of the uphills because pushing a bike uphill could really slow you down. Low gearing never held me...

1. Orange Krate 2. Apple Krate 3. Pea Picker I've driven a 3/4 ton 60's era 4 wheel drive IHC pickup truck. Rode very hard. Farmers loved them in the Reno/Sparks Nevada area during the 60's.

Green?

What a great venue to ride your retro ride. Lovely.
