Ok so I decided that I should use my X-mas gift.

She will not be staying blue.


Here is my bits and pieces pile I have so far for the build:

Thank you! I had some real progress on final design today! While JATS worked on his metal work, I decided on the front tire, brake design, color scheme, and some other little design elements. So I may not have been able to actual get "hands on" much, I felt today was very productive. Getting very excited to see how everyone is progressing after this weekend!
