That is an exceptionally clean looking bike! Everything looks great! I do have to ask if you've ridden it? It looks like it could be awkward?

Thanks Peat, The rear fender is actually a leaf spring for the seat.

What the...!? How'd I miss that part of the build? Well then, it's even cooler.

Of all the cool features on this bike, I think the leaf spring seat is the coolest. I even contemplated stealing it with a twist for Flexy at one time. If I wanted a nanner, it would be the perfect solution.

It has a turning radius of a schoolbus on a footpath. It does coast downhill in a straight line really well though.

LOL, I think you have your wheels turned almost to the max in the photos don't you??

If you only ride down cul-de-sacs you should be okay.

I would be amazed if this awesome bike didn't finish in the top three or five.

Circa, thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it. On another note, are you safe from the fires out there?? I hope so. It is really a tough situation for everyone out there and my thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by them.

Thanks for your concern and prayers for the unfortunate victims of the wild fires.It has been unusually hot and dry this year.A month or so of unrelenting heat in the 90's with a couple weeks hovering around 100+and tying the hottest temp EVER at 105.But that's Ma Nature.The pine beetle kill in the mountains is widespread and the only way to stop it is wild fire.A needed process for forest rejuvination.I live in the Denver metro area and not threatened by the fires.Some of the areas burned are in some of my favorite areas to mountain bike,which is kind of a bummer.But on the positive side,reforestation efforts pave the way for new trails to be made.

Wait wait wait! You used a Thompson bottom bracket? Dang, I needed that for my build! It's been my biggest headache.

Pure genius on the spring's seat. This bike is really well thought!!!

Pure genius on the spring's seat. This bike is really well thought!!!

Thank you sir. My wife thinks I just sit in the basement and stare at stuff for hours on end.... How many times have we all heard that???? Lol.

LOL! Yes sir!!! My shop is so small though, so it is hard to step back and think on something. That's why I do so much mock up. Then I can step back and stare at the computer screen toggling back and forth at the different angles. Wife thinks I'm nuts too!


And I totally agree about that spring seat!!!!!!!!!

I like that photo to. It's like he has a new puppy, so he set's it up with a light for warmth.
I am surprised there isn't an old tick tock clock to fool the bike that his momma's heartbeat is nearby.
Is that newspaper under the rear end?
