Thank goodness the barber pole is gone. Gotta say I'd probably like it better with a 26" in the front.

Bike building, the great equalizer. I bet alot of people won't even know after voting for you that you're still a minor for years to come. You're doing great and if you stick to it, things will only get better and you'll always have an anchor in your life for stability. Skip the partying... build something. Good work.
