Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm sorry. It's not personal but you simply cannot post here. Please remove the respectable image and don't try a stunt like this again. And I bet that's a plastic bike too isn't it. Jeeeezz.

+1 That green bike is a beauty. It's every cyclists dream to build their own bike I think. Most of us settle with building our own bike up, but not the frame itself. Very nice work Frank.

Forget welding the frame... I won't be happy until I'm smelting my own base metals
