Very nice. Reminds me of white sand beaches and blue curacao mixed drinks

This bike is sexy and tough at the same time!! Nice work Amy. I’d love to ride with you. Maybe we could race… and if I lose you can slap me in the face and then do a track stand on my neck. I love the rough stuff!

This is a good looking bike and nice photo. (Don’t let Luftie know it is rated higher than his Tank )

Nice one WSB, but that’s a penalty for going below the belt.

No Sweat Luftie, your average will start to go up with your new improved disposition. But this is a good looking bike, I believe ng had a part in it . (possibly a BIG Part )

Agreed. It’s like The Tank just has some unfix-able internal flaw, being that it’s from China and has the sloping top tube. I thought of parting it out if I ever get my hands on something lugged.

It’s just my first bike ya know, which I sort of fell into without really knowing what I was looking at. And by the time I realized what I liked and wanted it was already half built. I have some ideas for the tank to make it more to my liking but don’t have the cash to support it. Maybe I’ll post the schematic I worked on.

You missed my implication that persona of a builder and tone of comments influence the voting of another’s build. right or wrong revenge happens.

I wouldn’t and didn’t vote this down. It’s well built and it shows. I’ve actually wanted to paint the tank for a long time but never got around to it. British racing green or something. But this blue is great.

think raw for a color Luft!no maintenance,scratch proof and I think cool.Show off those serious welds!One of the great advantages of aluminum frames.raw,raw,raw.Polish it to taste(I actually buffed down the shine on Mongrel 3)naked rules.

thanks guys. I’m 7 months pregnant now and Nick flipped the handle bars up to give me more of an upright ride Not that I’m riding much these days, but sometimes I have to just take it for a spin down the block! Can’t wait till our baby girl is here and I can start riding again.
