It looks really nice and clean/simple, I love the color. Chain tension needs to be fixed though.

Thanks, and you right about the tension although I dont think Im going to be able to do much about it without a tensioner :(

I like the aluminum bat by the front door. I personally abide by MLB rules and keep and keep a 1" oak dowel by my entry. The only problem is that you have to swing it "label side up".

If I were you, I'd just flat out replace that chain. It looks pretty well destroyed.

I'd probably get a new chainring at the time too just to take care of the rest of the drivetrain while I was at it. The freewheel's probably fresh enough, judging by the new wheelset.

Good looking bike though. Enjoy it.

****! for some odd reason I thought it had vertical drops? I just took a good look at it and it does indeed have horizontal drops :o my mistake :o
