Wow thank you for the compliments guys! Much appreciated :) I mostly ran out of work to do to this bike, so I've been focusing on the "bike must be rideable" part of the build off :) rode into town for a pulled pork sammich and a couple cold ones for lunch today, then rode around a bit, found one scenic photo op...

I had to test ride a different bike this weekend so I didn't get any more miles on the build off bike but I did make a small but important addition to it.

I've been riding this bike a lot, just need to get some good pics. I was gonna have someone with artistic talent and photography skills take pictures for me but that fell through so you're gonna get cel phone pics instead :) it rained all morning so I gave it a tune up, spokes needed about half a turn, the drive side rear hub bearing was a bit loose and the chain was dry, now it's done. I'll get some pics this week and post it to finished builds, for now here's an old truck behind my buddy's shop
