It's not a slick, but that sure is slick.
 
Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #14 It's rideable!)

amazing what a rear tire will do, to make a bike look just right! 8) the bike is looking sharp!

The Young American is looking perfect! Is it just me, or does the seat seem to want to sit towards the rear a little more? Maybe flip the seat post clamp under the seat? That'd set it back about an inch..

Again, thats just my opinion. This bike will be in the top of the heap after Aug 1st for sure!

Need to take into consideration the height of the builder, especially with the drag bars.
 
Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #14 It's rideable!)

THIS BIKE IS HOT!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT FINISHED....SO ..GET TA BUILDIN'!! PEACE
