Parts are looking great on that HD too Joosh !!!
I couldnt bring myself to paint my HD frame. One of the best looking paint jobs they've slapped on a bike in recent years to me.

The Genuine has me stalled, financially. I've been hanging all the best stuff on it (but with cheap pedals), and I'm hung up on getting it a wheelset worthy of the rest.
The frame, however, is absolutely top-notch. It ain't pretty, but it's beefy. I got a cstom s&m pitchfork in matching gloss black, and some red ano BS on it.
Pics're coming, but it'll likely be a while...

Big things happened today. bought some wheels the other day; the front is a Rhino lite rim with a shimano hub, the rear is a generic 36h wheel, so I could pull out the hub, and use the existing rim and spokes with my bendix hub. Here it is half built:
And the Finished product:
For My first time building a wheel, it came together really well. The tension is good, and it is fairly in true!
So with that done, I threw on some tires (the same exact set from my first mountain bike!) and cobbled it together. Not anywhere near rideable, but it looks pretty darn nice.
This thing needs to be finished quick, or I'm gonna die!

25:18?!? That's way low! That's going to be a wheelie monster. I remember riding BMX and me and my buddies screwed around with 36:16 and thought it was way low but used it to ride sit down wheelies forever and you took it 10x further.
Bike looks good so far.

Maybe run a tensioner in the back, like a dummy derailleur, and a multi speed front sprocket... I've been thinking along these lines lately.

Yeah I would think it would still work...anybody have any experience with this setup, multispeed front, tensioner, singlespeed with a coaster? I'm curious too, as this could go on my build also...
