nice bike!!
at first i was like, "is there a kickstand on that bike!?" then i saw the curb. :)
i like those cranks! i'm guessing you'll put bar tape on later...i found out a good tip for that actually, wrap electrical tape upside-down all along the drop aprt of the bar (putting the sticky side down at the beginning and the end), so the tape will stick better. also wrap the tape toward the outside so it won't twist off if you ever crank real hard on it...of course, i've never had any problems with my tape and it's wrapped "wrong." but that's what they told me to do at the clinic...and i'm not really a pro, nor do i really ride in the drops...*shrug*

Sloth, I wrap tape "wrong" as well, from the end of the bar to the stem going to the outside over the top on the drops and to the front over the top on the flats and I never have a problem with unwrapping.

Fix that mutha! Make it the way all things should be...fixalicious! (I am a total hypocrit...my fixie project is off until next summer...****ing bills)
That steed looks like a blast. Now all you need to do is get an old innertube and wrap the bottlecage...make it so cans and bottles stay...if ya get my drift...or not.
