awesome Well i really appreciate all of the kind words, thank you. I keep hearing people hint that they might be interested in building a military-ish cruiser and now i am excited to see what will be up and coming!

Wow Well thank you all for the kind words, i was blown away that so many people liked it. Yes the small size was a plus for me because i am too scared to park my bike on a campus bike rack (duh) and so with the small cafe bars and lowered front end, it makes it better for keeping it in my...

a The pictures were takin at my school here in NY, just today. The area used to be an outdoor patio, but the roof part burnt down years ago, so now they are just known as "the pillars." Did you ever make it out to my campus when you were in NY? Also, i am so embarrassed at my dumb self. I put...

Ok so here is the new ride. Its a 1943 Hiawatha 26" single speed. I was going for a bid of a military theme. I always liked the felt MP, and so "Karfer" recommended that build i build a bike like the MP, "only cool." So i build this on my summer break in CA and just received it in the mail here...

heres how Well like i said i am no expert at dating hiawathas, HOWEVER i did discover a neat trick tonight while i was taking apart the '43. APPARENTLY the bike was assembled before the invention of torque wrenches... EVERY freaking bolt and screw, except ONE was stripped. It was a nightmare. I...
