Saw your bike in person today. Amazing all around. I was jealous of the skip tooth crank.

The bike is complete! Everything turned out like they way my wife wanted. Her fender idea turned out great. Was at a bicycle show today, over 300 bikes. None had the covered fenders. Enjoyed the build. Look forward to another one. The Build...

Re: The British Agent Busy month so far, but I have some updates. Going with a White and Red theme so far. Got the bike back from the powder coaters the other day. I realize that this now disqualifies the bike under the rules of BB6. However, I am going to continue the progress and finish...
