It's Alive!


Here's the final build!  Did a 9 mile ride today and it is awesome.  Since this is my first and only singlespeed bike, getting started was interesting.  My brain wanted to shift when I first started the ride..but 20 minutes in, it felt like I'd been riding the bike for years.  The geometry is perfect.  It's simple, quick and efficient - everything I wanted out of the project!  The build quality is excellent and it feels super tight.
