On word, In Spirit or With Good Intentions... ...it all works. You already owned a few Fixie's/SS's anyway, you childhood tri-cycle and your first coaster brake kids bike. I think that is good enough for the congregation. The important thing is that you have seen the true light. Besides you can ply people with drinks for information on what mistakes to avoid in building up your new frame.

As to the Bar it is still open for discussion (I vote Handlebar). Any suggestions?
