hi from Phila!

Howdy, Worldwide Rats!

I've been perusing the board for a few weeks now, enjoying the amazing bikes and community you've created here- so I wanted to say hi
I'll try to get some pictures uploaded of bikes I've built. Most of them have some similarities- practical, rideable, and if you are viewing them online, slightly blurry.

Ok, the last one's not blurry, but I didn't build for me.

One question- I'm having a blast checking out the old build-off bikes, whatever happened to Chainsaw's 2fer?

Cheers!

Thanks fellas.

Markm, that's an Olympian allright, I've had it since high school. This is its third incarnation, the first being stock- the way my cousin bought it, the second being a touring/cross kinda bike with drop bars and knobbies. That incarnation was ridden hard and put away wet (and dirty). It hung in my garage for a few years while I went to school and forgot about bikes for a while, then I dug it up when I moved downtown so I could make transportation happen. It's a nice riding frame.

ElChupacabra, I'm actually in South Phila, with the Mummers and the Cheesesteaks and whatnot. It's a nice place to live, but not a lot of room to weld!

..I gotta learn how to weld.
