I want to reiterate my first post in this thread and agree with CJL: the Galaxy is a nearly perfect candidate for the type of build you're thinking of. Please please ignore all the fighting, complete your build and post pictures of it!
CJL: What kind of handlebars are you thinking? Normal drops or are you going for the old-school look discussed in this thread? I've been thinking about an S3X build for awhile so I'm trying to gather inspiration.
Thanks for the input everyone. I was kind of trying to avoid the Path/Road/Racer debate, but oh well, no worrys.
I've got my idea of what I want to do. I really wanted to go cheap on this but I've changed my mind and I'm going buy some stuff I don't have in the garage. But I think it will turn out a little better. I've decided to the Soma Lauterwasser bars. Anyone ridden these bars before that can comment on the comfort level? This will not be an all day rider but I also don't it to be a unbearable.
Thanks
