I'm still setting up my shop as we moved relatively recently and I have a lot of "toys".I get negativity about not just how many bikes I have... I have a bunch of torch experience, but need to make space.
I'm building this bike to take to FFD. It won't be pretty. I'm going to ride it, think about component choices and ogle the bikes at FFD. That should suffice for inspiration. Then I'll have the frame blasted and I'll get to work. I've enjoyed looking at your work very much !
Thanks for the kind words! I'm headed out to FFD as well. If you're interested in riding to FFD and a little credit card touring, We've got a gruppeto starting at Mastic Beach Friday morning, riding up through Orient Point, ferry to New London, then ride into Old Saybrook (6 miles from Peter's).
