Since it appears to be safe to do a little bashing here... besides the hipster comments... I have 3 pet peeves any one of which will x a project bike off my list. If it doesn't have a front fender, if it doesn't have a functional side stand (too long or too short), and if it doesn't have a chain guard, then it is not finished in my book.   ;)   ;)

Did I hear you right...???
 Did you say you had Vagina  on your leg? ?

It was quite a night.

I hope you didn't wake up next to this . . .

I think a nice front fork brace will do the trick no?

The bike really isn't bad at all. Looks like some good work was put into it, but yes I wouldn't go with those tires or shocks myself.

Dat tail. I want. Also, this one's not bad either. -
This one, too -
I'm tearing my hair out trying to find just the right tail section for my new K0 cafe racer project and can't seem to find exactly what I want anywhere. I'm leaning towards something from Legendary but nothing seems to be exactly what I want. Anyone have any recommendations?

How did I know that would be the first reply? Of course your right. It just seems like so much work and I can't even patch a surfboard w/o making a lumpy mess.
