Thanks man! Hard to believe I am just using a Samsung S6 cell phone camera and a lot of these pics were done with a 105 heat index and sweat falling into my eyes.

It's another beauty! I had some reservations about the frame swap in the middle of the build, but you sure pulled it off.

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

Just shows what you can do when faced with such adversity like a busted frame. Cool bike KF, no doubt.

 

[kingfish254]

WOW--super looking car--I mean great job on the photos of the car--you really did a superb job on your build all the way through, even. You the crazy curve in the middle, but you recovered in no less than outstanding form--Prost!

Thanks man. Getting to do the photoshoot with that Shelby Saturday was awesome. The bike and car complimented each other very well.
Honestly I think I like how this build turned out better than it would have been with the FloCycle frame. I was surprised when I counted the days and realized I did this build in only 37 days.

this bike is sickly sweet, yet savory at the same time.

Thanks for discovering this treat for me brother!!! It's a lot more palatable than when you saw it on craigslist and @joel.romeo.79 tagged me.

 

[piercer99]

glad you got rid of the skip tooth that wasn't supposed to be on it.

did you keep the bike license plate?

Thanks man. I've wanted to make this tank out of Gaskill's rack even since I got it a few years ago. Just had to wait for the right build.

 

[Scribble]

Yep still my dream bike.
