Great job!

Well the final quirks have been worked out of the Convict and it is a reliable bike now. Someday down the road I shall try to get some 24" by 1.75" inch whitewalls for it as it has about 3/16" clearance to the seat stays and chain stays with the 2.125 wide rubber but it doesn't rub. Plus it looks much cooler with the big rubber. Final shots for the "RRBBO2 Finished Bikes" board need to be taken yet but beyond that I am happy. I had a few ideas I kicked around including a revolving light but that seems more appropriate for a "Cop" bike than a Convict bike. I now officialy can call it done with no excuses. 4 people besides me have ridden it and they all agree it handles strange with all the weight (big ole' 12v lantern) on the fork assembly but that it is fun and a great attention getter. It's pretty comfortable for a Rat. I could have made it look a bit better by dropping the seat low like most do but keep in mind this is a small frame bike and I built it to be realistic. Could I have ridden it slammed? Probably. Would I have been as likely too? No way. So it's honest, it's drawn first blood.... well make that about 5 times it's gashed me pretty good! :D but most of all it is done. By the way I caught it on the computer looking at "Victoria" the other night. Lock her up xddorox you can't trust a Convict.

The Convict says..."Do your worst". He's actually scheduled to do some more running tomorrow. Going back to jail, to the train yard, the graveyard, maybe the airport, and the Ferry Terminal. Hopefully the cops don't spot him!
