So i bought this copper thermos on craigslist for 5 bucks and i'm thinking of adding it to my build between the seat tube and the rear fender but i'm not sure yet..

The weather was dry-ish so i mounted some pedals and decided to go for a test drive:cool:
And.... She rides really nice! Im using a 38t front chainring and a 24 t rear sprocket and combined with the two speed kickback i have a light gear to pull up and the other for when im at speed (well speed... cruisespeed;) )

Ok so i'm dropping the thermos idea because i cant fit it between the seat tube and the fender:(
So i'm calling her done, i'll take some pics tomorrow and place it in the finished bike section.
I had a lot of fun building it and i like the result! Thanks for al the inspiration!!
