Seems people either have short memories or weren't here when Rigid was active before his "hiatus", or before that when he changed his user name from Kingcustomcycles to Rigid, and started deleted his old posts. ??? ::)

I remember...but is that going to influence how we vote?   
We haven't heard any details about the bike, was it recently built or just bought as a barn find and cleaned up?
I liked seeing good front brakes!  [maybe a lesson learned?!]

I've never been a chopper guy but that one looks like it was well done.
The other bike looks great too.
