Hey Heretic,
I am so glad you found this forum. If you had not, you would still be making all this awesome stuff, but none of us would get to see it and appreciate it.
I am in awe of your fabricating skills. I especially like your handlebar clamps made from 5/8" stock. Where do you even get 5/8" stock? I guess it helps to work in a locomotive shop.
What I also really dig about your builds is that even though you have high-caliber skills, your finished work does not look too machine made, or factory made. It still has a super cool hand-made-not-to-slick feeling to it.
As someone already said, you are an artist who makes functional machines. You should be very proud.
Thanks for the posts and pictures,
Gilbert
