Y'all need to load up and go to Get-A-Grip in November also. You'd love it.

That's what I'm talking about! I've just started reading thru this thread and it's going to take a while to peruse all 62 pages but, man, I'm looking forward to it. This is an inspiring build and there's so much more lurking in the archives. Great stuff, love it!
Have fun. I am sure it's more photos than writing, but hopefully a fun adventure nonetheless.
Watch it go from this:

Hey! Finally a page that didnβt take an hour to load! β¦ And, they were the perfect two photographs. Iβm so glad you posted this.
I think the bike turned out really great, and the photographs that I did see were all terrific.
Itβs quite obvious that this is the culmination of your long BBO experience, and youβve built something that you really really like, and that was also popular to everyone here.

Enjoy it while you can...there is still space for 15 posts full of pics down there

Better hurry. I went on a ride today and explored some places I hadn't been before on bike.
I forgot to post this up, but I was honored when a few people dug my Uncle Stretch bike enough to use it as the cover photos for a few different Facebook bike groups.
My favorite was this one from the "Lifes too short to ride boring bikes" group. This group is hosted by Ed Bakker out of the Netherlands
Then Carmine Spinniello picked this photo for the cover of the "World of the custom bicycle" group that he hosts out of Italy.
And then Stacey Paulin out of Tennessee used this pic for the cover of the "Roachy Rusty Rides" group

Not famous, but it is super cool when you are scrolling through pics of cool bikes and all of a sudden you see your own, but it's posted by someone else. It just makes our bike world a little bit smaller. I just hope that I get to ride with @Captain Awesome (who is only 30 minutes away) before I ride with @SwissGuy and @OCDconnection in Germany and UK this December.

It was in the 70s for the first time in awhile yesterday, so I went for a spin.
The Georgia Queen came by while I was dodging tourists on the river, so I got a video.
The port police drove up right after I took this photo. They wanted to make sure I wasn't trying to target the ship. This is under the bridge you see in some of my pics from River Street.

He must have been looking that the fork legs.
Naw, that group is more along the lines of the RRB aesthetic. Just cool atypical bikes more than anything else.
I keep wanting to say something about those rusty legs but Iβm almost too polite.
You guys want to do that Cranksgiving event? I'll probably be fo sho

This shot was terrific.
They have a river boat like that parked up at Sacramento, and Iβve eaten seafood there with my wife.
Itβs not nearly as large as the Georgia queen but it is very ornate with real 1800βs wood work.
But they do not operate it on the river anymore. The waterways here are just not that navigable. The cost of operation could not be recouped by operating a restaurant and hotel that small, because theyβre not able/brave enough to charge huge prices.

That must be the Canadian version
I might be. If I remember right, it's not as organized as it sounds. I'll have to see what Queenfish has on my schedule then. It's less than 2 weeks from when I fly over to see SwissGuy.
We definitely need to ride sometime soon though. What's your schedule like?
