    My first bike build

    It started as a small project that turned in to a larger project....but now it's almost done. I just have to thread the poplock and buy some shortie bar ends. Note the custom pieces - headset spacers, headset cap, and bar end caps. Also note the tensioner was modified with an angle grinder in order to fit on the bike. It should be a fun bike to commute on and maybe an occasional trail ride.

    Very nice! It's a work of art. I would almost hate to take it for a spin.
