Yeah, I did too! Those were completely shot though, and I couldn't find a match online. If I can find a similar one in the future, I'll put it on.

this looks really nice. now you need to find yourself a dumpster bike
Well... I finished the bike last week, 2 days after our wedding. We aren't taking a honeymoon right away, and I had the day off and my wife was at work (teacher).

I stood her outside one of the garage doors and set up the bike inside.
She loved it!
