Default "Build Threads"

I get a kick out of Some of yall posting "Build" threads. Since when does throwing on a bigger wheel and some mail order bags and fender constitute a build? Probably the same guys on here that blast on people for asking questions about their bikes. All I am saying is that you didn't build **** out of a catalog or clicking buy it now on some parts on the internet. Show me some fabricated parts that you did yourself and I am somewhat impressed. Everyone wants to be jesse james nowadays...LOL

Just making a point. I never claimed to be a bike builder lol....
