I'd say this almost counts for a "Built from scratch" project!

[ilia-45]

Well, I do not claim to this title even though the only ready part is the center of the frame

Sweet Jeebus, that's so rad.

Sorry but what does it mean?

That is an insane bike. I think I'm in love.






I want a Straight 8 so bad.... we have one in one of the shops I work at (under the same 2 owners) and I ride it nearly every day to get a burrito for lunch. The only thing I don't like is the coaster brake and sound the hub makes when pedaling. If I had fabrication experience, I'd buy it and throw on some mounts for disc brakes and an Alfine 8 speed hub.

It means good job.
