Hi, this one really looks cool. I like the handlebar!
How tall are you? It is a big bike...
Did you have a break for some time? Have fun riding!

Thanks for the compliments. I'm 6'4 and it fits me pretty well,though the cranks could have been a tad shorter. As far as having a break, yes I got caught up in school then work etc...

Lucitania: wow! just saw your build. it looks great and man those bars! classics for sure. Glad you are happy with the build and the way it came out. those are one of London's most popular bars due to the classic kneesaver design. Hopefully you adjusted to the 9" rise and are already quite comfy on them. What specs and sweep did you u get? Happy riding Lucitania!

Also, I like what you did going with the primo comet 1.5's! (i just ordered 2 steel, and 2 kevlar "Belted" versions off amazon)

I'm also riding the odyssey Clutch hub, so far so good. Dialed!

This says grand pat’s new whip, so how old are you? I’m going on 50 and I have a sick looking Hoffman strowler with some sick parts on it and I’m building one for my youngest son so when I’m done I’ll have to post both…
