Somebody mentioned riding it first to see if you love it. Highly recommended. I stripped my Super Course, and rode it for 2 or 3 months, getting the mechanicals dialed in (my first complete build) and getting comfortable on it. It's a great ride, but riding up and down Pacific Coast Hwy a lot, the salt air was making me worry. Someday, I'd like to build a rat rod bike, but I'm glad I painted this one. Here's a naked picture after first assembly. I did fix the seat angle, and pedals and bottle holder are temporary.
