I loved them all.  I'm partial to blues, so I went with the 400, especially since nvr2old did the paint and some great repair and customization work.  I would be lucky to have any one of these bikes in my garage.

Thanks very much, guys.  I'm stoked that the 400 was received so warmly.  By one vote, though..which proves to me that every bike was worthy, and KC, your 750 is gorgeous.  Any one of these could've been on top with this group.  I appreciate the votes and the kind words.
