- lostlogin 2y agoThat sounds great. Any pictures anywhere? I need to get out of the ‘bike must go faster’ rut.

- hluska 2y agoThat’s a heck of a nice bike - you’re very good at what you do. Thanks for sharing that - now I have to talk myself out of doing the same thing. :)
- bsimpson 2y agoI appreciate that - thank you! Was a lot of work, but a fun project to really learn what goes into a bicycle. Definitely won't see another bike like mine on the road!
- hluska 2y ago> Definitely won't see another bike like mine on the road! Exactly! It’s beautiful, functional and very cool in how original it is. Thanks for posting that image and for the chat - you’re very talented and have really inspired me.
- lostlogin 2y agoIt’s definitely green, fat and delicious.
- bsimpson 2y agoIn the initial version of Bike Index you were supposed to give them names. This was green and brown (the girl I was dating at the time insisted I try brown tires), so I used Avocado.
- wafflemaker 2y agoLooks like a $40k vintage bike.
- cbsks 2y agoNever seen wood fenders before. Very cool!
