Default Hello from Yorktown!

Hello all.

I am new to the forum and hope to get to know all of you!

Anyways, I am a 22 year old college kid who has worked in a bike shop since 2001. I have built 2 motorized bikes so far.
The first one was pretty much a bolt on build.

My next build was quite a bit more labor intensive. With this build i took an old cruiser frame, cut and raked out the neck. From there i built a triple tree fork out of DOM tubing (roll cage tubing). I then ordered a shifter kit from Sick bike parts. I slapped a Nexus 7 speed wheel on the back to utilize the shifter kit..

anyways, enough blabbering...

see you all around the forum!
