I know it's bad to be a Drew but it's not so much different then when I cut the forks off my brother's coaster bike and pounded them onto the ends of the forks of my Stingray to make a chopper. ( freaken cool!) That was the thing to do in the 70's, atleast in Baltimore. If Al Gore would have invented the Internet and Craig made his list, would have advertised my services for $150....Hell ya! Chop all those gaspipe 10 speeds baby, if it aint 531 or Columbus I aint smokin it anyway.
