Beautiful....

It's one project to the next for you isn't it.

Ruadhrigh · 11-05-07, 06:32 PM

too true.

Molly told me no projects for two months. So in January I want to build up a nice mountain bike

Once I get my rig out of your manport, we can park your 80 for a front knuckle and a rear bearing pack. That will get you ready for all of the spring wheeling and the 2nd Annual 4th of July run....

Ruadhrigh · 11-05-07, 07:31 PM

that sounds like a good project

Bring it up to the mountain and we'll ride.

Rory -

Nice looking bike. It looks very light and fast - but I guess the fast part depends on the "motor." Time for me to get back out on my bike as well - my motor needs to be whipped into shape!

Way to go green!

But just don't start wearing bike shirts/shorts when you commute, otherwise you may get a few laughs along the way.

a little late for that

the perro chewed my new helmet so I wear my snowboarding helmet. the looks can't get much worse

Switch to a plain white dirty football helmet, and you can look like Jack in easy rider.

I read the thread title and got all excited. I was expecting specs and pics of a new computer.

Carry on.
