I'm loving the way this is turning out, that paint is very cool. I purchased a Nexus for my build as well, but I have nothing that touches the cool of that shifter.

Thanks 8) If it makes you feel any better I still cant decide where to put the shifter yet

Tires fit good now but i did have to spread the frame I did it the same way as i did my Coke bike (link to thread in my signature page 1) but instead of borrowing the coil spring compressor tool I just bought it this time so Pick, Randy, Cody,Cameron,Mitch, Tim or any other locals need it your welcome to it

chain guard and possible shifter location :? also will take the shifter apart and paint it to match the chain guard to tie in the color a little bit to the rest of the bike but its pretty close already 8)

How do you reach that long shifter arm to change gears? It looks kind of... fleshy?

Good looking seat. Like how the hardware is brown/bronze.
