Hello. My name is Ron. I live in Maryland and recently started putting together a bike.
A little while back a stumbled across this site, looked at what a lot of you have done, and decided to embark on a bike building project. I started accumulating parts to build a board track racer. The ideas, techniques, and suggestions have been invaluable. I have a lot of general mechanical experience and ability but there a some aspects of this build that are new to me. I have recently acquired the "skills" of tube bending and leather-working. I may be able to provide some pointers or at least what NOT do do for any other newbies attempting these things.
Here a few pics of my progress to date.
