..manshovel...

this is the latest bike that i've
built. joe dynamo gave a doner bike
to start with. mike davis and him
had a bare knuckle, last man standing
battle for the turned down fork legs,
made way back and scored by josh at standard.
joe walked away victorious. some argue
that joe was pumped up on roids and mikes
coors was spiked with ludes.
joe is a good dude and let me do what
i wanted. the bates seats, lee pedals,
linkerts, vl springers were boxed up and
shelved.(wish he would have forgot
about that box)
In the end i wanted to keep it.
no shit. but joe and i went down to
the hof brau and i smothered my loss in
dipped turkey sandwiches and gravy.

May your glass be ever full May the roof over your head be always strong, And may you be in heaven Half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

  12. The more I stare at it, the more I appreciate how it all flows together. I really like the narrowness/minimalist sleekocity of this thing. Well done sir. I really like the bar mounted clutch lever as opposed to the jockey kit. More photos?
