EDIT: I invoked my ability to swap bikes, scroll down for Dyno pics
Okay after really enjoying last year's build off I've decided to throw my hat into the ring again and have another go. I've decided to build up my long-stillborn project which is a GT Windstream. The original thread is here:

Anyway to cut a long story short I bought 2 of these on ebay for my girl and I to ride. She ended up getting a mint condition Felt Claire cruiser, I got a couple of other cruisers, and the GTs ended up gathering dust in the garage. :roll:
Starting point for the build off, half a pile of parts.
One bike that I've always loved is the Electra Delivery. While I was pondering ideas for what I could do to the GT it hit me - why not see how that looks as a delivery style bike?
So I've just gone out and had a play in the cold night in the shed and this is what I've mocked up. I think it'll take a bit of eye balling before I settle on the right size tank insert, and then I'll also have to make the call whether I run an additional cross tube in there as well. The problem is with the GT frame when you add another tube in there it starts to look very messy. :?
