Looking back at this first image on the build thread, the only parts I am still using are the pink wheels (now raw aluminum, paint removed) and a chrome crank from one of the frames...... parts is parts!

Test Ride Evaluation:
- Happy with the bigger tires - 26x2.4 front and 26x2.35 rear
- There is actually room for bigger tires!
- Frame is Solid and feels good on the street.
- Head set is 'jenky' NEEDS to be replaced (but it was build with spare parts)
- Could use one more gear, currently running a 44:16... 45?
- Cut 1" off each end of my $14 ATV bars = much improvement.
- Bars might be bent a bit on the right side?? Couldn't tell if it was the bars or the bad headset?
- Couldn't get the seat tight enough....
- Putting the Wrights on in the next few days.....
- Any tips on getting these solid 5/8" posts to hold tight?
- Rebuilding a set of Suntour XC-II's to fit one piece cranks - will look much better than these VP's
- Might mess around with the tire set up one more time?
- Sourcing some cool bar wrap (top secret).

Jan 10th Update:
New headset on it's way, red ano. that might be the way to go!
Pile of tires getting sorted out - bigger will be better and plenty of room to fit them.
Leather Wrights seat in hand and soaking up the Proofhide.
Got some Budweiser shims to try and take care of the moving seat issue.
Top Secret bar wrap in hand, it's Native

I’d vote aluminum! The most noticeable weight difference on a bike is in the centrifugal force. The bike will feel much ‘zippyer’80's Steel wheels or 2010's Electra aluminum?
