Thanks, I really trust it now with the extra support, and it's really not as heavy as you'd think. The chromoly GT frame is a nice and light backbone. I keep looking at it outside and trying to hold back from running out there to throw it all together knowing that I'll just booger up the paint.

That would be awesome! The OBX stickers (outer banks) are really popular around here, and the NC 12 (road that runs up and down the coast) are popular. Along with all the surf shops, I think I need a Whalebone surf shop and definitely some pirate flag stickers, maybe a William Teach flag!

NICE job!...Very well engineered, and very well executed....Should work well "on" the beach. But if it doesn't. Still a COOL bike to have.

Alright folks, the moment has come, the bike is done!!! This thing is awesome, I'm not bragging, I just think this is really cool.









Here are our requested shots Mr. Kingfish:





And a shot of Cody trying it out, for reference he is over 6 foot tall:



Then there's a whole series of shots of me trying to get a photo of him bunny hopping it, it's not that it's not hoppable (it is, she's heavy, but I can hop it) but the low light conditions slowed my cheap camera down.

Anyway, I'm completely thrilled with this bike. To finish it I used a black front load stem off some random BMX, plus the bars with the rectangle tube top bar. I used my clear YETI grips that I got from Porkchop months and months ago, a set of Odyssey platform pedals, an old Scott seat, and finally I swapped out the red dice valve caps for the black, that was Cody's observation.

One thing in assembly that surprised me, I actually had to make a longer brake cable.

So anyway, what do y'all think?

[kingfish254]

You should be bragging, this thing is an awesome piece of work!!!!!

Thanks for the full monty shots. That's where you can really see how nasty fat nasty these tires are on the frame.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun in the sand!! BRAVO!!!!

I love this thing!! Great job! Looks like a blast to ride

[yoothgeye]

Thanks guys, and as for the offer of stickers YES YES YES! I love stickers and this bike will have them. Obviously will need smaller sizes, but that's good 'cause those are the cheap ones! haha

Thanks again for all the compliments, this is a little beast, probably only rode it around a mile or so last night, I will get videos on the beach... if Irene lets me!
