rode it into work today, ran great, was 35 deg. out this morning, she reved up real clean and had better top end so it must be running a little rich on the warmer days. people have been swinging by the parking lot all morning to check it out. it sure gets a lot of attention.

I have built a Cranboob...watch the welds, they aren't the best. Some are better than others. Mine seem to be O.K., it's one of the bikes I still have here.

Oh, and keep an eye on the pedals, or better yet, remove them, and use some thread locker on them before they come loose and strip out.
