Hey @Rat Rod, we need a "drooling" smiley for times like this!

Very nice rims!

Luke.

The hubs, spokes and nipples are black. The triple clamps are black, all the hardware will be black. The frame and fork legs will be the ral6027 sea foam powder coat. What color should the bars be, black, candy red to match the rims or the sea foam like the frame.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I personally think black is the safest bet there...

Luke.

Hey Luke, you are an engineer: can the seat also be the shifter? My "Witchcraft" klunker uses a drop seat post. Why couldn't sliding forward or backward shift?

I think the biggest problem with that would be the possibility of unwanted shifts every time you move slightly...
