The Cimarron- fillet brazed in the front, lugged in the back. I love the hubs- what tires are on there? Specialized Fatboy 1.95.

The Bullmoose adds a touch of distinction, even if it's "wrong." Warranty bar because the integrated brake hanger broke off, so free.

I continue to kick myself for passing on a Cimarron a few months ago. Realistically- I'd probably build it the same as my plans for my High Sierra that I still haven't gotten close to "finishing."

I personally don't like the Pletscher- but the rest of that stuff looks awe inspiring! The Pletscher was also warranty due to a break in the casting on the clamp part, so I cut off the front mount, drilled holes in the side rails and it's now mounted to the rack brazeons.

Love the bike!
See above.
