Plain and simply awesome! Love the color and the stance.
It can be fast, safe or cheap. Pick two.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys!

Stretch- Tires are 26x1.95 Specialized FatBoys and were bought brand new by my dad in the early mid 90's for a Schwinn Typhoon he built up. It was never rode until recently so the tires have very little wear on them. I thought they suited this build well so I transfered 'em over!
