Thanks guys! Finally got it up to 10, so here it is!
I've kept most of the components stock on this because it came with such great bits! The handlebars are scrambler bars for a small motorcycle. It's just the right amount of upright for me, and is also still great on the pump track or out on a mellow trail. I clearly don't have to tell any of you this, but the geometry of the early 80's mountain bikes is just so great for riding upright! I've got a similar build in the works right now but it will have sweepback bars for my commute to work.
