Re: The Third Bike (pic heavy)

What can I say that hasn't been said already.......

A very sweet, thoughtful, detailed build! I am most definitely NOT a lightweight fan, but your bike makes me just gawk. Thanks, and enjoy!

Very nice write up. That will definately put you in contention. The seat modification is something I may do. I have one of those seats that is deformed.
