This has been a very tough week for me. I really agonize over every custom bike I build. I try very hard to tie the aesthetics of all the components together for that one of a kind look. It has been doubly hard knowing this bike is going to someone as important as Travis. As hard as I've tried, the whole bell, basket, tassel thing was not working out. I think at long last however I have found the perfect component to tie it all together. The bike will be shipping out on Monday. Finally I can ship it out with pride. As soon as I get it installed I'll post the pictures.

The perfect saddle.

Don't you love how the fringe works with the gold hubs and headset?! :elkgrin:

Wow!

Travis is a lucky guy having you building his bike. Your selection of seats is impeccable.

Yep, that's the right touch for Travis. It really captures his flare for decorating with just the right appointments...

Save the box and packing material! You never know when it might come in handy for future travels...

Nice bike... would debate you on a couple of individual components, but overall it is awesome.

Jim has done a great job on the bike. This is my first, what I would call, wazoo bike. Shifters are awesome, gearing is awesome, brakes are awesome, its super light and looks pretty snazzy! :drool:

The real test comes later on in Feb. Though, I'm sure any problems will be operator error...:sombrero:

The only disappointment was the pretty purple seat wasn't there. Darn, I was looking forward to that...haha
