Thanks. I've done a couple car projects and I have a couple more including a mustang and an old F100 waiting for me but I was chomping at the bit to build a bike. I actually spent more time on line scrounging parts than I spent building. I'm sure the neighbors thought my wife and the UPS guy had something going on. I really enjoyed the project and I'm sure ill do another one in the future. I have two boys who ride I may need another bike to balance the inheritance. LOL

The balance of finishes and the fast stance make this, imo, one of the cleanest builds I've seen. Thanks for sharing your Christmas ornament, wish it was under my tree.

I have used frames from Kraftech on my last two builds, and I was not disappointed with their product.

Bobber Frame
