I've got about 10 miles on it. Not sure how it'll hold up. Pretty flexy with my 190# on it

Thanks much fellas. It was far more fun than some of my other builds. Simple, functional, but a little bit of a show off. Like me

On to the next one......

You should be proud in any case. It's a sharp ride! I'd rock it!

Gluck

I haven't voted yet, thanks for the warning. I wouldn't want you to lose all your marbles!

If I saw that coming down the street I would think it was a modern bike, so you kind of demonstrate that old design does not have to be left to get old but it can remain as fresh as today. Like us!

I am impressed!
