Thanks Luke, it seemed like it would be quick and easy to paint but these frames are really a pain to paint i found out , with all the corners and crevices.

Yep! You got that right! Even the most simple bike has so many joints and angles, cantilevers like yours are far worse though...
Nice job on it, looks really nicely done.

Welcome to the site, your build looks like it will turn heads when complete. I grew up in Hays, and my parents still live there. This site will answer most all your questions, even those you hadn't thought to ask yet! I will give a nod in the affirmative to aka_locojoe, I found the club purely by accident, my 3 bikes have now swelled to 76 bikes in the household. Come visit the clubs swap meet, you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your build, looks awesome.

Hey thanks the club sounds awesome, I love the idea of a bicycle club. I'm really looking forward to coming to the clubs swap it sounds like a good time. This is my first build and I'm very addicted already!
