Just for information, I've scanned a few pictures from the Rickman assembly instructions. Nice little book to have.

The bike is complete! I took it for its maiden voyage today around the block a few times. A few things need adjustments but nothing mayor.

Hello everyone. Been a wild and crazy few months. Well, the bike sold a couple months ago on ebay. The new owner is a collector in Hillsboro, Oregon.
