If you build a mate to this one, would you call it Jerry or Geri?

Okay...got all of the drivetrain parts sorted out today...will change the BB to a sealed set up eventually.
This thing is REALLY LOW. :shock: These 3G pedals probably aren't helping the situation, but they sure do look cool.
I'd like to put larger tires on here, but I don't know of any white walls bigger than 2.125" available in the U.S.
I guess like everyone is saying...you have to be conscious of your pedal position all the time to make sure not to scrape.

Nice setup, I like the cranksets.
The forward look like it a long ways from the seat. Does the bike fit you good?

Re: THE DEAN - 3/29
I need to be about 3-4 inches closer and it would be comfortable.
I'm 5'9" tall and I can feel my self leaning into it quite a bit to keep everything going.
Uncle Stretch suggested a Basman seat post, but I'm not sure it would work the same on this frame.

Re: THE DEAN - 3/29
I understand the purpose of the Basman seatpost but I don't know how it actually attach to the frame, does it just sit on the frame?

Re: THE DEAN - 3/29
Looks like the bars are a little short. Look at this one and they are pretty close size wise. My
bars are a little longer and let you sit upright a little more. Click for video.
