I always wanted an estay bike bitd. Got this sweet Yokota Terminator for $20 sans derailleurs, shifters, seatpost, etc. Gonna be the winter commute rig.

Quickie build out front of the REI. I thought I'd brought everything I needed, but forgot rim strips/electrical tape and crank nuts, so got some rim tape and only one crank nut at REI and put things together. Had to pound the left crank back on a few times on the way home but I was pedalling gingerly so don't think I wasted the spindle hole that badly.
Put on a cheaper saddle, cruiser bars, crankset that matches BDC of SS chainring I'll eventually use
