here's the full build:

copying the inspiration a lot (esp with the saddle) but gonna rock flat bars instead of drops

the idea of a whole bike being shipped from different locations across to the US all to the same apartment makes me laugh a bit. pretty stoked for everything to roll up! i'll definitely post a proper picture once it is all assembled and tuned to my liking.

Aren't you the guy who just got a nice B'stone NJS bike? That is a helluva stable you are building...

Same here - but I'm trying to squeeze a few more miles out of my old rubber before swapping...

Where did you get yours? Have you put many miles on them yet? What do you think so far?
