Let me know what you think.. any suggestions? or questions?

When building bike, be sure to fix spoke cards before putting pedals on or properly adjusting... anything.

Maybe try setting your bars at the same angle as your steering axis, unless you already know you like rocking that Chicago BMX steez.
