Got my photobucket working but lost my mind in the process. As you can see I have gone a little different direction on the front fork idea. I'm sacrificing the look for the function, one of my F's. Nice head tube angle and rake. This will steer mo betta I'm guessing. ImageImageImage Mike S. at Vintage Bicycle Supply surprised me will this awesome Jerald slick. Pulled the Woksman stamped wheel offa my wannabe klunker to get the right look in the rear. This tire looks to have a little extra rubber at the edges. I wonder if I could pie crust the edge without killing the tire? This new and inproved look appears to be going in the right direction. Ignor the clutter. A clean desk is a bored mind.

:shock: Yikes! Yikes, I say! That seat is really, really freaking cool!

Heck, it's even cool in cardboard. I can't wait to see that finished.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

I talked to Ray at the bike show two weeks ago. He told me that he had changed up the idea quite a bit, and smoothed out the flow immensely, so I want an update, as well.
