Still trying to wrap my mind around the logic of this style of riding. Not crashed yet, but it looms large!
Here's the bike I built. FBM Sword clearcoated raw frame. It's almost finished, with the matching fork to be installed this week and custom built wheels next week. Just trying to remain young....
I love the constructionist look! I can't wait to see it with the finished fork. The one that's on it is cool too!
You remind me of my dad (That's a good thing) In his mid 70's he's still amazingly active. At 55 started downhill skiing, at 68 decided that he needed a new bike and rides regularly now. He did tell me that SS/FG wasn't for him though. Can't blame him on that one though. Maybe I'll get him on mine this summer.
Enjoy that sweet ride! Cheers!
