Great build! Love the subtle changes, the respect for the original paint, and the unique frame. Big points!!!

Came across this trying to locate my next build.

It's beautifully done and I thought the thread deserved a big BUMP!!!

Thanks for bumping this thread. That's a very cool website, thanks cman 8)
Cool bike as well Joe, do you still own it ? As a dutchy I seriously doubt I'll ever get my hands on a skip tooth bicycle, so you'll have to excuse me while I drool some more over something as nice as this.....be right back :mrgreen:

Ahhh, thanks for the compliments~!

As a matter of fact I just sold this bike to a guy over on the CABE. Started breaking the bike down tonight to ship it to California!!

I rode it aound the beach last summer and had fun. Good, no GREAT rider, but it didn't get the love in terms of a rider that some of my others get, so it was time for a new owner.

Thanks, Joe
