That came out fantastic!  Cheers for a job well done!!!!

Thanks, man.  Maybe we can hook up with tweakin' and brandEn at Vashon this year and check out each other's bikes in person.  I'm really hoping to get there this year.

Sure thing! Shoot me a pm when you get over here.

Beautiful 400F.  I love mine.....when I can wrestle it away from my two sons.  I enjoy builds like this when the builder recycles as much as is reasonable.  It sure takes a lot of time and skill to do it that way.  Good Job!

Thanks, Ed.  You totally get what I was trying to do with this 400..as much bang, for as little bucks..

Larry, the bike looks fantastic, so many thoughtful touches, form AND function. One of a kind and personal, yet it looks anything but "hacked-at". I agree with some other commenters too - the use of the stock color and graphics ties it back to its day, but better.

A+, a definite BOTM bike, and thank you so much for sharing so much of your process as you did the build, I learned a lot, and enjoyed it too.

Thanks very much NobleHops.  It was definitely a labor of love for one of these bikes.  I really wanted to maintain it's heritage and yet have something a little different at the same time.  The fact that people have acknowledged that makes me happy I went in that direction.  I'm glad you enjoyed the process, as I, too, enjoyed watching yours come together.  2 more 400F's back in action again.
