It was a great backdrop for VerBoten, so why not Rockafella too?

My childhood hero.
Queenfish asked me to take pics that show off the seat. This also shows off the bars and tank well.

YOU DID IT BROTHER B. ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. I REALLY LIKE THIS BIKES FLOW AND COLOR. KUDOS MY FRIEND
Thanks brotherman!!! How many does this make for us?
I think we are up to 7 that we have completed together! Can't wait to hit Philly again and talk bikes and drink beer with you.
If you make it down to Savannah, we'll hit up this PBR dive bar "Pinkie Masters"
I took Rockafella out for a ride this afternoon and had the coolest experience. Earlier in the park, a nice Asian tourist asked to take some pics of my bike.
Later, I was waiting at the fountain for someone to come by that could take a ride video for me. It turns out that him and his family are visiting from Hanoi, Vietnam. This was too cool since we were in Hanoi when the Build Off started!!!! So here is the ride video he did for me. You can hear them talk as I go around the fountain. (Those are loud insects you hear in the background).
Afterwards I asked if they wanted a picture taken and the guy asked if they could include Rockafella in the photo. How cool is this!! Only in Savannah!! I love my city!
He was having so much fun sitting on it, I told him to go ahead and ride it around. Even though the geometry is a bit stretched for him, he rode it like a champ around the fountain.
