"Red Hornet"

This album shows the evolution of my first build from a basic Murray Santa Cruz, to a custom built MB, with all of the alterations in between. And there have been a bunch! I have been building and riding this bike for 4 years now and it's finally getting where I want it. The photos show the progression of the build with both major and minor alterations. The progress is in reverse order since this program loads photos in reverse. Thanks for your interest. If you have any questions, PM me,if I can help you with your project, let me know. Scootmeister
