Default Getting Closer

Today I got the right crank set and throttle done. Last would be the chain derailer and of course...the power plant.




I never really paid attention to the finer details of the frame until Lean Dean pointed it out to me. There are some cool CNC machined parts.

The bottom rail of the rear suspension

Hi Paul,
I went to the bike store today and I found a detachable 3" riser. Here is a picture of my bars and they do seem a little low for street use. I'm think of getting a riser just for cruising.

Where could I find a frame like the pic?
Thanks

I got mine from the bike section on craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums.
The best part is I only got it for $70. I'll surf around and see if I can find another frame. The guy I bought it from said it was a Giant frame. Hopefully the motor will come in this week while Andrew from King's Sales and Service provides me with the Hub Adapter and sprocket.

I found a frame like it...1996 GT LTS, but it is a 16inch MTB...don't know if that's the right size

I would prefer a 26 inch. Thanks for looking for me. If you find one, please let me know.
