Yeah what they said!!! WOW time to jam a little Cold Beverage from G Love!! 8) 8)

Dude??!!!
How did you know that I was a BIG G Love fan? Maybe I posted it one time. He is the second coolest thing to come from Philly. (Jake being the first) !!!!

CHEERS!!!! You can see in the mega post that I did after yours, that I LIKE COLD BEVERAGES,,,UH HUH!!!!!!

HAHA It came on Pandora as I was looking in on you!!! Love me some G Love and Special Sauce. Cheers to a job very well done!! 8) 8)

Thanks man. I had never heard of G, until he came a year or to ago for the art college free concert on the park only 4 blocks from my house. I think that was pre RRB for me, so I rode my Dahon Jetstream down to the concert (with the same "cold beverage" bottle that I use today).

Thanks peat!
I love this seat!!! It really sets the bike of well. Amazing that I didn't even know I had it a few says ago.

I love this photo. It doesn't show much of the seat, but you can still see the teeth.

Another item that no one has really noticed and I love are the front fork blades that mimic the rear dropouts. To me they just complete those fat fork blades.

Damn, 101 pages. I'm hoping I can stretch mine to 10 by the time I'm done!

Yeah, yep - I'll concede to that. Although "butt" isn't what I actually typed...

I wonder how long your paintwork on the saddle will hold up to riding. No rough or course fabric pants!

I laid down a LOT of clear. We'll see. I can always repaint. Or I could take the seat off and hang it on the wall as art.

This bike is absolutely rediculous (in a good way). I did notice the drops on that front fork but hadn't gotten to the last page yet to comment on them. They look great, I love the subtlety of them, it looks like it was original to the bike but those that have a true interest will notice and appreciate it even more. Again bike looks awesome, way to go.

Thanks dude, I can't wait to get it out in the sun and see it. But first I need to get the shifter reinstalled and the battery pack done.

Thanks man. I finally remembered where I got the seat from. It was part of the deal when I bought the 78 Typhoon and 60s Skyrider for $20 total a couple of years ago. I have used the Skyrider star chainring on both BEER RUN and now Flexy. I used the Typhoon frame for BEER RUN. and now the seat for Flexy.

It's been a work of fun and love. I was on vacation in SE Asia for the first couple of weeks of BO7. Heck we're lucky it's not 150 pages!!!!!
What can I say? I am a huge fan of mock up photos!

Here is a fun photo for you all that shows one of my first builds ever. My brother found this photo of me working on my Screamer 2. This is when I had replaced the 16" forks with some 26" forks. I can tell since it doesn't have a pedal on it or the shifter, I must have just finished lacing up the new rim to the 3 speed hub and was putting every back together.

EDIT: I also remember that I used the same type of foil tape that you have seen me do mock up with on that bike. It is stretched between the sissy bar posts below the nanner.

EDIT 2: Actually those forks aren't 26". This is when I had cut the forks off of a 20" bike and just shoved my 16" forks into them. Later I replaced this with a 26" fork.
