Rode around for an hour or two. Stopped to talk to a cool artist bike friend. He loved the bike and wanted to ride it right away.

I even got him to take a video of me riding it and weaving between tourists with street musician playing in the background.

You can tell that I was having a blast.

Now it's a kingfish build internet crashing

The best feeling and compliment to this bike so far was the constant smiles and comments from people. The steering wheel grabs all of the attention and people of all age groups just loved it!

Is that a nirve tire

Is that a nirve tire

No. It's an Electra 24x3 Fatti-O.
The rear wheel and tire are from a a Ghostrider I believe.

I just got a nirve set I'm thinking of putting in Canadian metal

Great score. Very similar tires. Just thinner sidewall than the Electras

It's fun to see those ride photos and recall being in many of those places in Savannah. Looks like the bike is a fun and comfy ride. Handles well!

The photo in front of the church is my favorite because that 3/4 rear view really accentuates the stance of the build.

The bike looks great so far!. Maybe it's just me, but the shiny steering wheel rim looks odd. Maybe black, or some contrasting color handlebar tape wrapped around the rim would be cool?

Still regret that we didn't get a ride on when y'all visited Savannah. Dinner was great though.
It truly is a very comfy bike to ride in it's current state. You can see in the video how easily I wove my way around the tourists.

Yeah, that is part of the fun of the photos from rides during my build. Finding what angles and types of background show of the bike best.

I actually really like the chromy (actually polished stainless) vibe of the steering wheel. It definitely contrasts with the pure patina of the frame. We'll just have to see how the rest of the parts play with each other in the end. You know me, I get all of the parts on that I like together first, and then work out what finish or color I want the bike to have.

@Dr. Tankenstein and I were riding that trail today and I barely missed that big pile. He thought I was crazy when I said "Hold on, I need to go back and take a doodoo pic with my bike."
