The bike pictured here was actually built by a friend of mine who is completely responsible for getting me interested in bikes.  He is exclusively a Harley guy.

Right now I’m trying to secure a good deal on a frame but a big project goal for this is NO MORE than $400 per year out of pocket spent on the bike.  I am going to try to build this thing completely by trading services, parts, selling shit I own, etc.   More info to come.
