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

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

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. :lol: 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.
