    Re: The Mad Plaidr! Update 5/14 Laced rear wheel! Thanks guys! I am not a huge fan of chrome but I figured a healthy balance of chrome and rust would do for this bike! Seems I need to invest in a kilt too, I own a lot of plaid but not skirts lol

    The Forward look... THE END!!!!!!

    Re: The Forward look... Lugged frame... an awesome front fender and a stylish chain guard. That is a nice frame! Just throwin an idea your way but a fixed gear would be cool, or a flip-flop hub so you have free wheel or fixed, just an idea! Cool build!
