Hey folks, it's been a while since I've been around. I heard there is a new build-off going on?

I have recently resurrected my entry from BBO4, with a freshly-trued rear wheel and a new set of bars.

For the Build-Off, I was trying hard to emulate the boardtrack motorcycle look:

which obviously resulted in certain comfort issues when it came time to ride.

It took one day before the bars had been flipped back:

(the pre-war grips had also disintegrated)

Well, it ended up sitting all winter and spring until I dusted it off to bring it on my vacation in upstate NY.
But not before I swapped out the bars for some ultimate cruiser bars:

I don't have a lot more pictures of the bike at the moment, I was taking more pictures of the ride than anything else.

Karl did manage to get a couple shots of me riding it though:
