id ride it with a smile if it had a crank and a chain and pedals of course. like the bars, i dont find many apes that pull straight back like that round here. interesting wheels ya got there too.

all done!

a friend and I decided to have a little fun and do a mini-photoshoot. here's some pics from it...

thats me, on the initial run. i dont know about you all, but the first time i ride a finished bike of mine, i know i did a good job, but theres a small part of me that expects the bike to break down. thankfully, all was well with this little thing...

getting just a LITTLE too cocky...

at first, my friend didnt want to be photographed. he agreed after i suggested he cover his face with something (headband, helmet, plastic bag)...

enjoy!!!

Nice bike, but if I did something like that last pic in my neiborhood, I give myself about ten feet before somebody drops me with a couple rounds.

Nicely done, the black parts really make it work. Kinda of an 'anti-bling' lowrider.

Looks like a good way to get away from roving bands of outlaw trash bins too. Or are those Daleks swarming that poor Ford truck behind you? :mrgreen:

every time i try to charge more, they don't end up selling. ive had one call so far, from a teacher who's looking to commute to work. needless to say, i offered her a different bike...
