I had a chance to post in here before you, but I saw that KOTA beat you, so I was happy with that.

Good to see someone else noticed the "extra lube". haha

Did some work last night at NBW. I installed new forks for a chunkier, funkier look. Then the stem wouldn't fit so I found another one and it had on it these ratty bars. Then I noticed these grips in a bin. I slapped them on and that gave the bike a different look I think. These bars maybe on the final project. What do you guys think? The crank is crusty,but I think I'll just clean it up. I like the way it looks. How am I doing? CUE BLUE OYSTER CULT "BURNING FOR YOU" MUSIC

I like those bars, the stem is built into them? The grips are just the outer piece of a 2 piece grip for road drop bars.

That back tire is still sweet.

[Jake Sensi]

Yeah the bars are built into the stem. Crazy huh?!? You can't beat free grips looking like those. You never said if you want me to check on that tire for ya or should I just horde em all. LOL . CUE STEVE MILLER "THE JOKER" MUSIC

Check for me and let me know how much something like that would cost. I think these are the same tires that are on the Giant Stilletto Chopper bikes.

The only bars with a stem built in I'm use to seeing are on cheap children's bikes, but yours actually look nice.

Glad to see a build that is in the true spirit of ratrod bike. Looking forward to seeing the finished bike.
