Congratulations, WideAWAKE.  Both are outstanding bikes anyone would be over the moon to have in their garage.

Thanks for the nod! - bike was a blast to build, which is the point right??

Congrats to the owner of the red bike for such a nice build!

And Stev-o - I’m sure it’s the chain guard that did it! - I know it’s what sealed the deal and made it complete for me!
