What, no OM Flyer Enduro!?!? Seriously, though, what a cool get-together! TXCOMT

You do plan to take this to a real dragstrip and get some timeslips, right? I don't even care if it's an eighth-mile strip, I'd just like to see what it'll do in anger! Mike H.

I'd like some slightly wider tires, at least in the back. The springer fork, of course, limits the front tire's width, so that'll stay stock. I'll try to keep this thread updated. Mike

She's still a sweet ride...I'm the guy who bought that bike from Rat Rod awhile ago and I took her out for a little spin tonight! Nice to see those early photos of her; basically, not much has changed other than different pedals and valve stem caps courtesy of the original owner. I don't plan to...

Great bike! Everything really seems to go together...BTW, the Nexus 4-speed hub is discontinued (according to Sheldon Brown), so you've truly got a rare bird here! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Great bike...so glad you added a little black to the mix! The look is much tougher now! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Here's what I love about this thing: there's no ugly tank to mess up the lines of a beautiful frame! Great work! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Red rims make it! Excellent job. Mike H. Irving, Texas

Um, does Mr. Hulot know you've stolen his bike? Great job (and I'm usually not a fan of these things)! That bread is making me hungry, too. Mike H. Irving, Texas

Nice bike (and rider, if I may say so), but that highboy in back is smokin'! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Tough bike and the colors rock! I'm thinking Schwinn could sell every one of them! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Fine job; love the pinstripes, bars, brakes (and levers) and especially that classy Raleigh frame! I've got just one question: what's the rest of the trailheadsign that reads "No dum..." say? No dummies? Man, if we had those in the States! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Classy, but why no grips? Is the rider supposed to don gloves like the ones steam locomotive engineers used to wear? Seriously, tho, great job! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Good stuff; love those 700c boardtrack rats! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Love it...now where are those night shots? It may not be safer in Houston after dark, but I know it's a little cooler! I just want to see the lights in action! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Nice bike...great looks and functionality! Did you buy the last Ritchey tires? Your link goes straight to the company's homepage; a quick search doesn't reveal any tires from Ritchey. UPDATE: It appears Ritchey discontinued these tires, according to users, resellers and a futile search on...

We have a winner! What makes this bike: comfortable riding position, more than one gear, lighting fore and aft, plus killer looks! You know what they say about flattery? Well, my next rat may look strangely similar! Great job! Mike H. Irving, Texas

Re: WIDOWMAKER IV - update 6-8 Thanks, buddy! They're exactly what I was looking for...now I''ve got a nice Fourth of July project! I think we're all looking forward to some night shots of this beauty! Mike H.

Re: WIDOWMAKER IV - update 6-8 First off, cool bike, my fellow Texan! Like a lot of others, I just love the combo of new and old. Second, mind taking us down a little sidetrack on your headlight's LED conversion process? Third and final request, how does she ride? Mike H. Irving, Texas
