The showroom quality on this bike is stunning!
It was my favorite before the paint and polish even went on...What can I say now?

Wow, thank you very much!

Thanks. I'm hoping to get a video together before the deadline. Weather is looking a little sketchy. Might have to settle on a simple drive by. Shifting is interesting, a little like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time. Glad to have a rear fender. I know it has saved me from rubbing my finger prints off a couple times!

Thanks. Glad you like the Schwinn vibe. I was hoping that would come through. Was the reason behind using the grey/silver cable housing.

Congrats Tom, it turned out great.

You've knocked it out of the park again, just as we've come to expect from you!

Certainly is very creative

I know this is an old post but what a piece of art!

Loved that you used 27" dual tires.


1.Could you tell me what your head tube angle is on this art piece?
2. With that angle how well did she handle and steer?
3. Did you ever see how fast she could go on the flats?

Thank you, for the inspiration.
