Cool, Art would be awesome on a shirt.

I don't what this amounts to in freedom units but we are supposed to get a foot of snow next 2 days and I a not happy.:(

Your build is cool - reminds me of a harley servi car

I have 3 of those Giant built Schwinns - they are awesome!

Yep had them rims on a few bikes and they are bad. None had shine left on 'em tho. I hope they run true, all mine were twisted and out of round...

Your artwork always makes me smile!

2nd hand stores can be a source for bikes. It's been a couple years since I checked them out around here tho. I imagine off season prices would help too.

Lower 40's and sunny last couple days. Bundle up and ride!

My workspace is in the basement, because Winter. :cry: Comes with restrictions - no paint or pb blaster or anything "stinky". Too close to woodburner. So mostly a mock up and assembly area.

This GT of mine has sentimental value to me, as I was with my late brother when he found it in rough shape at a swap and unfortunately he never got it completed. After I inherited it, I repaired and modified it to suit me. It is light, comfortable and somehow I can make steep hills with it's...

:thumbsup:

Animals... And a sweet Biopace crank even. :cry:
